At this time I am on Semester Break; that is very much needed at this time to get ready for next semester. I just finished Eng1010 and I am happy to say that I finished with an "A ." Tomorrow, I am having a memory upgrade on my system to four gigabyte. The programs that we use in school require four gigabytes of memory; With all the graphs we create like video, audio, images and of coarse animation, all of that takes a lot of memory and a system that of 2.5 Gigabyte processor or better. This system has a two-gigabyte processor and only two gigabytes of memory (Soon to be four gigabytes), So this will run a little slow but it should work while I am still in school. After I am out I will have to upgrade to a 64 bit with a three or 3.5 gigabyte processor system with eight or more gigabytes of memory, with a ATI fireGL 10 bit graph pipline with 2 or 4 gigabyte of graphic memory. That is a high speed graphic card for animation. I am still working on the production of my animation and I hope to have time to complete it with school and all the other things that I have to get done.
I had a great surprise from my long time Pen pal from over seas. She sent me two new Tee-shirts with Chicness writing on the front of it. They are very nice shirts and it was wonderful of her to send it to me -Thank you very much LD for thinking of me and sending the gifts to me. I knew her for a long time and we have Kept in contact for more than thirty years.
Well, that is it for now and I will try to update you before I start the next semester. I will be taking “Life drawing two for animation,” and “Animation object developing.” I am sure that I will like these two class and semester after that I will be taking three classes again. I will be making more videos and posting them when I can, So keep checking on the Youtube channel.

Paul Harvey Dies at 90 years old, 1918- 2009.
There is no doubt that one of most listend to radio Broadcasters, well be missed. A man who brought the news to us in his own style and with the wisdom of his many years with us. We all listened to me, day after day, at lunch time and as we were coming home from work at 5PM. He was aired on 1300 stations across the US. He started boradcasting in 1933 at the age of 14 and has been broadcasting for 76 years. How many times have we heard these words from him "Now you know the rest of the story!," He will be missed and not forgotten and Paul is now on a new page.
New Cam
Well, I bought a new cam today, and it will serve me well. It is a "JVC GZ-M330." It has a 30GB HDD Cam, that takes video and Still shorts. Now I have to get use to all the settings and button on it.
I will be posting a lot of videos in the months to come on youtube.com On normal mode, you can take seven hours and twenty minuets of video and on ultra fine. On normal mode you can take up to ten hours of video. That is more then enough video time!!! I don't know who would take a video for 10 hours!!
School is going well, and I am enjoying this class very much. After this, I will have a week off, and then more class. I did take a lot of snow photos, from our last snow Storm, that we only got two feet of snow. they are on my Flickr.com page. This is a normal winter up here in Maine. I hear New York calling me!!! This country life is not for me and after school I am out of here!!
