I bring up a lot of ideas for personal projects… so what’s going on with them? Well, some are moving forward, and some are on the shelf for now. GTD helps me figure out what I have the energy and time to work on, and what I don’t.

3D and 2D Resources for Blender, Metasequoia, Inkscape, and Sketchbook
I picked up some Japanese books on using Blender and Metasequoia to help me get a better handle on those two programs.

I fell in love with the open-source vector graphics program Inkscape.
