My thoughts: (1) The fight scenes were WAY overdone. I thought that the point of the movie was that these people weren't superheroes and yet whenever they got down to business, people started flying through the air with the greatest of ease. (2) ... http://teapotrobot.net/2009/03/who-watches-the-watchmen/ I added a Kingdom of Loathing gallery to the Artwork page. I spent quite a few years as an undergrad playing and became very involved in their fanart community, which is supported through their forums and encouraged through a number of fan-made contests. If you've never heard of it, I ... http://teapotrobot.net/2009/02/an-adventurer-is-me/ Just getting back from the Darkhorse with some new scribbles. Tonight I was very much influenced by the pen drawings of Ty Dunitz that were posted over at the Sketch Tavern. He's got some incredible skill and is quite an inspiration. [singlepic=105,200,200][singlepic=106,200,200] http://teapotrobot.net/2009/02/bar-doodles-2/ I've finally added in a gallery plugin so I can start uploading my artwork. For now, I created galleries for doodles and some of the 3D stuff that I have been getting into recently. Now I just need to dig into my old archives of scanned documents and pull out ... http://teapotrobot.net/2009/02/just-added-the-artwork-page/ (Another thought from that same proposal defense.

Most often these thoughts have a short lifetime, approximately as long as it takes me to become distracted by television, ... http://teapotrobot.net/2008/12/misc-thought-1/ So as you can see, I've finally made a layout that is Teapot Robot-ish.

What I need most is a script or Wordpress plugin that will let me organize and display images ... http://teapotrobot.net/2008/12/new-things/ I'm rapidly approaching the so-called "end" of my masters thesis and, oddly enough, it reminds me of how it all began. Once I finally managed to choose a research area, my first step towards a degree was to immerse myself completely in any academic literature that could possibly relate to ... http://teapotrobot.net/2008/10/the-end-is-nigh/ Some doodles done last night at the Darkhorse... As you can see, I'm on a bit of a robot kick lately. http://teapotrobot.net/2008/09/bar-doodles/ So I've been messing around with some different Wordpress themes, which is why the site design has been fluctuating recently. I'm trying to find one that I can eventually modify into the final Teapot Robot layout but nothing has caught my eye yet. Also, I'm just getting back from a fun-filled ... http://teapotrobot.net/2008/09/upcoming-changes/
