a website about my video games. I think
and some of the contents of the can being eaten. I find it amazing that food that is so old is still edible.
I don’t know if I would ever want to eat food that is that old. But, as I just said I find it amazing that a person can still eat a food that was made to be eaten during world war II.
I suppose its also amazing that there are still cans of food from back then that are still unopened.
I finished another blender project. The above image is the toothbrush.
I found some pictures of a world war II British toothbrush online. I modeled the toothbrush and then the toothbrush bristles.
Then I watched a tutorial that was under 3 minutes that told how to make a procedural wood texture in blender. I am not very good at making textures but, at least I tried. And making the wood texture was not as hard as I thought it would be. Though I don’t think you can see the wood texture on the toothbrush body in the image very well.
Then I added a ground and render the image. I used Evee to render the image.
Though I have not finished it yet.
I found some pictures of the toothbrush and put them as reference images in blender. I also watched a blender toothbrush tutorial.
Who knew that other people wanted to model a tooth brush in blender. I don’t think I thought about modeling a toothbrush in blender before today.
Hopefully I will have the toothbrush done tomorrow.
Maybe I can make a scene with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Woo-hoo I finally finished a project in blender. This is supposed to be an M-1942 stainless steel canteen.
I used a cube to model the body. The body is not as smooth as I would like it. And I did not make the chain that attaches the top to the body.
I used a stainless steel color for the body and turned the metal up and the roughness down on the shader for the material.
I added a ground plane and make it redwood color.
I like getting projects made. Woo-hoo. I know the canteen could be a lot better.
Maybe I could have used a cylinder to model the body instead of a cube.
OK maybe thinking about what I want to model is not such a good thing for a person who has not made many models.
And since I like learning about world war II I want to focus on modeling things from that era. I particularly want to model military things like trucks, tractors, tanks, soldiers, ships
I suppose I always want to start modeling with something big. So I never get anything finished. So I figure if I start modeling a military canteen or fork or spoon.
Something small that I can make quick so I get a project done.
Maybe I should give myself a time limit to model something.
Anyway I do know one thing I want to make models in blender. So I better get making models.
Lorissa Rinehart. The book is about a female war reporter named Dickey Chapelle. I had never even heard of her before I read the book.
I thought she did a lot of interesting things in her life.
In the book I learned about a documentary about a PBS documentary about Dickey called Behind the Pearl Earrings. I had no idea there was even a documentary about her.
Yesterday I watched 16 minutes of the documentary. I hope to watch the who documentary soon.
What interested me about The book and Dickey was that she did some reporting during world war II. And I am interested in world war II so I read the book.
thinking about the past or thinking about the future it would be a lot of time.
And if instead of thinking about the past or future I thought about doing something that is important to me such as making video games I might be a lot better at making video games by now.
I need to break out of my thinking rut and think about things that are more important to me than what happened in the past or what might happen in the future.
I think thinking about the past or the future is fine but, I think my time could be better spent thinking more about getting better at the things I dream of getting better at. in
so hopefully I will change the things I think about at least most of the time.
I don’t remember how often I ate Cornish hen, or when the last time I ate it was.
I do remember that I used to like to put salt and probably pepper on it. I don’t think I ever put barbecue sauce on it. Though thinking about it new that seems like it would taste pretty good.
I used to eat the whole Cornish hen myself. I don’t like to share. And the birds are not that big so it was not that much to eat.
I probably put the Cornish hen under the broiler in the oven to cook it.
I used to think they were ganish hens but, they must have been Cornish hens.
I wonder how long it took me to eat one Cornish hen? I have no idea.
I am wondering when I stopped eating Cornish hen? I don’t remember either.
I am sure I thought Cornish hen tasted good. Otherwise why would I have eaten it more than once.
The recipe was from a big old cook book that we hand. I doubt I memorized the recipe.
I remember that I made the sugar cookies though. I don’t remember how often I made them or how many I made. I think I double the recipe that was in the cookbook.
So maybe I made at least 2 or 3 dozen sugar cookies. I used a rolling pin and sometimes I put the dough on a plastic mat we had. I would put flower on the dough when it got sticky.
I also would put frosting on the sugar cookies. I don’t know if I put frosting on them ever time I made them. Maybe I did. Probably the frosting was mostly powdered sugar.
I would get cookies that were thin and crispy or thicker and soft. Sometimes I might have even under cooked the cookies. Not because I wanted to but, accidentally.
I suppose I liked the crispy sugar cookies. But, I really liked the softer thicker sugar cookies.
I would put the cookies on 2 wire racks to cool. And then put them on a plate.
I don’t remember the last time I made sugar cookies. I bet sugar cookies are the only type of cookies I made.
I also could have made chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies but, I don’t remember making those.
I wonder how many sugar cookies I have eaten in my life. I wish I had counted.
music, making video games, astronomy, machine learning. I want to think about what I want to do in those subjects. My next song or what I want to draw.
But, I seem to end up thinking about other things. What I wished I had done better in the past or what might happen in the near future, or how do I feel right now.
And as I said I want to think about making music, making video games, astronomy, machine learning. And I don’t spend as much time as I want to thinking about those things
So from now on I want to try to think a lot more about the things I want to make than how I feel at a particular moment or what has happened in the past or what might happen in the future.
I know my thinking time will be better spent thinking that way.
I suppose it so easy to worry about what happened in the past or what might happen in the future or worry about how I am feeling right at this moment. But, tomorrow at this time I probably won’t remember how I am feeling right now.
So I will try to think about the things I want to get better at.
