Just a few things

So, I guess I have a few things to say. I was recently shown this wonderful, but scary, video of the some new 3d modeling technology that will literally change the face of film, photography and criminal investigations. I'm pretty intrigued by this technology and probably won't get much of a chance to use it myself, but it's certainly going to push the boundaries of what we can believe from now on.

I'm excited to hear what else is up and about.
