Skip to 11:32 to see me play it cool while I come to terms with the floor being ~12,000ft below me.

(If you’re curious why I’m posting it now; I only just got around to splicing our 3 dvds together.)

Here’s a video I took of how I spent my new year’s eve.

Check it out: http://CGjokes.com/

It all started when I wrote the very first joke (the one at the very bottom.) I wondered if I could think of more, and so I did, but then I challenged myself to come up with a one-liner every workday or so. (Quality varies as it’s hard to write brilliant ones all the time, but I try.)

I looked online for more material but only found a really old thread from CGTalk, and many of their jokes were worse than my worst. I figured, if there’s sites out there listing trigonometry or Physics jokes, why can’t we have one more just for CG-related jokes? And so it came to be.

I will eventually run out of puns so I’d like to invite you, yes you, to think of hilarious material and submit it on the site. I will review any and all that come in and publish those that make me smile or chuckle; with your name as the post author of course. (If you leave a link to your blog I’ll link you if you get posted.)

For those unaware, the Apple keyboard has no PrintScreen key. (On another note, they have F13 to F19 keys where normal PC keyboards stop at F12.) You could download a screenshot program of course, but they’re always convoluted. Too many options when all you truly want is the simple key.

So if you’re in Windows with an Apple keyboard, or know a friend who is, download this and pass it on.

It’s just 2 lines of AHK:

; F15 = PrintScreen tool / http://darkvertex.com
#NoEnv
#NoTrayIcon
#Persistent
#SingleInstance ignore
SendMode Input
 
~F15::
Send {PrintScreen}

There’s no interface, install or anything. You run it and it’ll sit idle in the background. Whenever you hit F15 on your shiny white Apple keyboard it will trigger the PrintScreen key. Simple as that! (To stop it, kill the process manually.)

“One Artist A Day”

As the name implies, I intend on mentioning 1 (likely awesome :p) musician or band I genuinely enjoy, every single day for the forthcoming future.

It’s been almost a month so far and it’s been a fun challenge to mention artists while trying to stay away from mainstream names. After all, I want to show you music you haven’t heard before, not what’s pumping on MTV or some lousy Top40s’-like radio show. (I miss when MTV had music in it; don’t you?)

So… check out my new blog! I will of course continue to keep this one and as soon as production slows a little where I’m working at I will be posting a backlog of educational content I have been meaning to submit for a while. (I currently have 9 drafts of coolness in my WordPress waiting for you.)

Last but not least, I welcome any music suggestions if anyone’s reading this and want to leave a comment down below. I promise to give you credit and link to your blog if I use your suggestion.
