   It's my own fault, of course; last year I carried out a plan that was meant to give me lots of time to spend on a project of my own – after many years of day jobs in which I spent my time and mojo on Other People's Dreams, or possibly, on Other People's Schemes, or - most likely -on both.

Over the past couple of months I took a good look at what I was doing with my websites, then redesigned a couple, added a couple of new ones, and started thinking about them less as a series of projects and more like the parts of one system.  That has kept my head pretty well buried in 'em for awhile but I think it was time well spent.  It'd been actual years since I made any major changes at my personal site, for one, and it's the clip art pages there that draw more traffic than anything else I've got.  Behold the power of free stuff ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/So-Many-Changes-243127336 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/So-Many-Changes-243127336 Thu, 14 Jul 2005 10:43:56 PDT So Many Changes! nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2005-2013 *BWS
I've thrown off the yoke of my corporate masters, though as corporate masters go, they weren't so bad.  In other words, I left the Day Job - I don't have any plans for returning to game production at all.   That's a seventeen year long story, and I'd really rather do something else now.

So I am doing something else.  I've moved to a small town in northeastern Ohio - a harbor town on Lake Erie that's practically on the border with Pennsylvania.  I have a house here that's close to 100 years old and w ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/It-Might-as-Well-be-Spring-243259630 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/It-Might-as-Well-be-Spring-243259630 Thu, 07 Apr 2005 12:14:17 PDT It Might as Well be Spring nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2005-2013 *BWS
 I've been doing some knotwork designs lately, though I haven't posted anything here yet.  It's all an experiment that's starting to show up here:  http://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=1541 though until tonight or later I won't have had a chance to make that page look pretty yet.  Black print on demand t-shirts are pretty much the Holy Grail.

And thanks an unnamed friend who's helping me get this sorted out.

It looks as though changes to five of the prints may have been lost in the confusion.  I'll try editing those again tonight, which does mean they'll probably show up as new again, hopefully for the last time.

You probably think I'm spamming you by now :).

Thanks to all!  I guess I owe my Watchers something genuinely new after all this. ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Something-Blue-243346868 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Something-Blue-243346868 Sun, 16 Jan 2005 19:48:23 PST Something Blue nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2005-2013 *BWS
I really don't know what I'm going to do about it.

As far as I can tell the problem may be that in adjusting the print images so that they will print true to the appearance of the originals, I have now made them look different from the original deviations.  Ideally, from the Quallity Assurance standpoint,  the print files should look exactly like the original deviations even if that results in prints whose color balance is wrong.

In theory I could post new deviations that all are too pale and shifted toward green,so that they would then resembl ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Something-Old-243348097 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Something-Old-243348097 Sat, 15 Jan 2005 14:40:55 PST Something Old nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2005-2013 *BWS
I noticed a little color shift in the printed output that seemed new to me, but consistent; so I've made some changes to the files to compensate for that.

But now that you're here and maybe wishing that you'd come here for a reason, let me point you at this site:  http://www.lotsofrobots.com  where Andy Murdock has recently released Volume II of his "Lot of Robots" animation on DVD.  It's a long term project that he's publishing in bits, and it's well worth looking at.  You can see the whole film t ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Something-New-243362995 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Something-New-243362995 Fri, 31 Dec 2004 12:04:16 PST Something New nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2004-2013 *BWS
This year I actually started something huge and new right before the holdays, but I was too clever for it:  I put it away till later so I could finish two large pieces I'd wanted to get done.  They're up here now, in fact.

But on the other hand, since I was doing 3D modeling and texturing all day at work, then coming home and doing 3D modeling and texturing all night and in the bits of weekends that were left to me, I was starting to move mooorrre and moooooorrrre slowly.  So one day I got this simple, funny, little sort of idea, and it ended up turning into a whole bunch of Photoshop work and a web site design, and three and a half weeks later, it's here:  http://www.theretrovert.com/NCU/index.shtml and I'm ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Excuses-excuses-243521970 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Excuses-excuses-243521970 Sun, 11 Jul 2004 15:19:45 PDT Excuses, excuses nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2004-2013 *BWS
But first and most importantly, the Popular Culture Analysis results from my "What Is The Weight Of The Earth?" poll.

Douglas Adams:  33%
Terry Pratchett:  24%
Lewis Carroll:  11%

Unaligned:  the rest.  But I voted for "where you put the scale" myself, since I think that's the right answer.

I know you didn't know, necessarily, that you were voting for Terry Pratchett; some of you were voting for Popular Culture Mythology, which is very nearly the same thing, while others were just concerned about elephants.  As w ]]> http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Stranger-in-a-Strange-Land-243589070 http://bws.deviantart.com/journal/Stranger-in-a-Strange-Land-243589070 Sat, 28 Feb 2004 14:50:43 PST Stranger in a Strange Land nonadult journals/personal BWS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/w/bws.gif Copyright 2004-2013 *BWS
