World of WarCrafts: T-shirts and more from Julia Minamata

Who doesn't love a good T-shirt, especially if it's got great design? I know I do, although my T-shirt skills lean toward clicking an appropriate link on Jinx and typing in my credit card information. Creating T-shirts can be a time-consuming process, but the end result is ultimately satisfying, especially when one has the skills to back it up. Today we've got a crafter who is particularly talented when it comes to creating Warcraft I'm a freelance illustrator and silkscreen artist. My illustrations have a particular flat look and limited color palette reminiscent of those old games. CGA (3-color) and EGA (16-color) palettes forced game designers at that time to be smart about how they separated objects and created the illusion of depth in their games, which is what I do in my work! With silkscreen printing, every color requires its own separate screen. That means more time, effort, trouble, and room for error. I find working with technical constraints rather inspiring! Blizzard inspires me because WoW (a Marvel Comics title) at that time. He brought Ken in to class one day to talk to us about art and comic books. I was totally blown away by his talent and his career. I remember thinking to myself, "If you're good enough you can work in this business!" I wanted to be that good. I started drawing in earnest. Two years later, I was headed to a special arts school. At that time I was still taking all my maths and sciences. I thought I was going to be an engineer or a computer programmer. In my last year of high school, I applied to Sheridan College, one of the most reputable art institutions in Canada, just to see if I would get in. I was in major crisis mode that last year. I concluded, almost at the last minute, that I hated math and that physics was boring. I had applied to pretty much only one art school and it also happened to be the one with the most competitive application process. More than a thousand people applied for 120 spots and it was mostly based on a portfolio review. I was crapping adamantite bars. When I did get in, I still agonized over choosing such an uncertain career path, but I finally decided to just go for it. armory had a model viewer, I would take screenshots when I was online. Sometimes the T-shirts were surprise gifts, so I'd surreptitiously slink around during raid, snapping pics like a paparazzi. I even used a standalone model viewer program for a while, but Armory's model viewer has been a real boon.

Mr. Steve's Exploratorium (formerly Mr. Steve's Science): Fraction ...

Today we are lucky to have a guest Fraction from Randy Caton .  Randy has taught introductory and advanced physics courses and laboratories to classes ranging from 5 to 700 students and has used Peer Instruction and Just-In-Time-Teaching for 30 years. He has directed several science education programs for teachers and students from 1986 to 2008. He is currently retired and lives in northern Minnesota. Randy has used Etoys to develop web-based activities for NASA programs and physics courses. Our goal is to come up with a set of materials so that teachers, parents and kids can use these activities to explore and learn.  One of the goals for the materials will be that "anyone" can use them, to run these activities and the fact that you are not a mathematician (Maria) or a rocket scientist (Randy worked with them) will not hinder you from using and getting a lot out of the materials and lessons.
