Today is my birthday, and Lindsey made me a Swedish birthday cake, complete with fresh fruit, homemade whipped cream and cook-it-on-the-stove pudding (yes, pudding in a cake!). It was terrific. Strawberries and blueberries on top, and then strawberries and bananas and pudding in between layers of cakey goodness!

I haven’t programmed any OpenGL since college, but this blog post which I stumbled across from planet GNOME caught my eye.  It’s a (relatively) simple C program that makes use of GLSL to perform some fun image transforms a la Apple’s Photobooth software.  GLSL (or any other shader language) didn’t exist when I studied OpenGL, […]

Tommy was putting together a Dora puzzle yesterday when Lindsey asked him who the bird in the picture was, to which he replied: “Oyster Gun!”  At least that’s what we thought he was saying.  Turns out he probably meant Senor Tucan.  Think about it.
