I was waiting to see if we were all going to get pulverized into dust. Now that we live to see another day, here's Alexa: Alexa This is from way back when, before google or whoever named their voice thing Alexa. Way back, I made some videos about Alexa. In this one, she's singing with… Continue reading My girl Alexa
There's lots of ways of getting Earth geographic data into Blender, and I really love all of them. It's so fun to create 3D worlds in Blender: A 3D replica of the Swedish mountains in Blender This particular mountain scene I got through this technique wherein you can get the data that you see on… Continue reading Earth geographic data into Blender
I am in the midst of making a series of animations set to songs, here, and midway, I figured out something important. The song has a lyric about reading a book, so I made an animated book, with things coming out of the book. When the second page starts turning, the sparkly heart that came… Continue reading Storytelling tip: matching animations to lyrics

Second, I thought it might refer to Dr. Nansen, the Norwegian sailor who tried to get to the North Pole in 1893 (I was right about… Continue reading The Nansen Factor
I am making an animation -- about Sweden! -- and New Years! -- and it starts with snow. Isn't it pretty? It's all made in Blender. Not sure which I love more. What do you think? https://youtube.com/shorts/9ph-ZQnuIpI
I've gotten much better at reading both Arabic and Swedish ... Arabic after having read the translated versions of the first three Harry Potter books, and Swedish after having read a few old, thick, word-rich Swedish books I found at the Los Angeles Library. I didn't notice I was getting that much better, because really… Continue reading Reading Arabic and Swedish
I wrote about Swedish books at the Los Angeles library earlier, and I wanted to write more specifically about the kids' books in Swedish that they have. They have a lot of them!
