New art direction

This weekend we took a trip. And while my wife drove I put on my "art director" hat and did some sketching. I realized that I was not pushing the designs of my characters far enough. My characters always loose a little of their edge when I translate them into 3d models. And my designs this time were mostly pretty tame. So I reworked several of the characters (and invented a new one). I will have to redo some work. But based on my revisions of the first character I'm confident I'll have a better end product.

I think the new design speaks for itself...in a scary, freakish voice.

Joe's Goals

Joe's Goals is a nifty little on-line daily goal tracker. I am one of those people who need a way to make myself accountable, or I get very lazy. I just got an accoutn here, so I don't know how well I'll do at it. I haven't made all my goals public yet, but I added a widget to my sidebar so you can see how well I do in general. You can chart positve and negative habits and it keeps a graph. I only listed on negative habit, because I dont' have too many vices...other than being lazy!

Anti-Spam!

I added a link in my address bar to an anti-spam page. It has a list of randomly generated email addresses, and a circular loop link at the bottom of the page. Theoretically, email address spiders get stuck in a loop filling spam lists with thousands of bogus addresses thus causing consternation to spammers. Don't know if it works, but I like the idea, so now if a haples Spam-Spider comes by my site, WHAM-O!...it probably isn't really that dramatic, though.
