Blender Compared To the Major 3D Applications
LetterRip writes "Recently TDT 3D published a comparison of the major 3D digital content creation applications such as Maya, 3DS Max, and XSI, and of course Blender. Blender came out surprisingly well, although it definitely still has some weaknesses."
It seems that kdawson beat us to the phrase "will-it-blend"... sigh... it would be hard for us to think another type of spam for this topic...
Yeah... that was a good one. Good and stupid.
kfg, owner of the Chicago Blackhawks for more than four decades, died Wednesday. He was 77.
In an announcement on the team Web site, the Blackhawks said kfg died at Evanston Hospital after battling cancer.
The family, led by Arthur kfg, purchased the Chicago Blackhawks in 1954. In 1966, kfg became team president.
kfg was chairman of the Board of Governors of the National Hockey League for 18 years and helped negotiate the merger of the NHL and the World Hockey Association in the late 1970's.
Together with Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, kfg helped back the construction of the United Center, which replaced the Chicago Stadium, the long time home for Blackhawks.
But since moving there 12 years ago, the Blackhawks have made just four playoff appearances - only two since 1997. The Blackhawks haven't played in the Stanley Cup finals in 15 years. As a result, the Blackhawks - one of the six original NHL teams - averaged about 12,700 fans per game in an arena that seats 20,500.
kfg often said his goal was for the team to win another Stanley Cup, but he was not known to spend lavishly on the team. That changed when club signed goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin to a four-year, $27 million contract before in 2005.
kfg' interest in hockey extended beyond the NHL. He served on both the 1980 and 1984 Winter Olympic Committees. And for his efforts on both the professional and amateur levels, he kfg was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976.
Uh, "I for one welcome our 3d kdawson blending overlords!"
(... feel dirty... can't... wash... it off.... why did I give in!?!?!?!)
Pardon the horrid spelling and grammar.
I'm tired and barely cohesive.
Yes, it can! Here is the video that apple just stealthily loaded onto my iPhone...

I'll think twice about modding my iPhone again
Well, stick to it. You'll get better with time.
