jason manley wrote a nice little walkthrough on how he paints. very cool to see his process. he dispenses some great advice. page 2 has tons of links to galleries of various old masters. (links summarized at the bottom).
reminds me though, wish i could find that mozilla sidebar that harvested links. maybe i'll write my own a bit later... [update] here's a links panel
oh wow, spooge aka craig mullins has an article on 3dpallete too. that's awesome. oops, just a rehash of a tut on his site. it's still cool though...
stop signs on the web - short economist article on new regulations on the net, enchroachment of freedoms, blah blah blah, discussion on /. there's ton's of other cool stuff on ''s front page right now as well: syncml 1.0, ww2 digital encryption, and laser equipped 747's among other things.
on the plate: tons of class reading, class design work, programming, and the obligatory organizing the crap on my computer.

with my new schedule, i've cut down a lot on surfin around on the web. today, i spent my internet time chasing down images of cell phones and such whatnot. nokia has a nice picture archive online. haven't found the equivalent for any other cell phone companies yet. also, i did a drawing assignment today (drawing a hand the best i could). it's been a loooong time since i've done any realistic drawing with pencils, but i think it ended up alright. about 3 hours and change, 18"x24" original.

these sidstation soundfiles rock. the sidstation is a synth made from the old C64 MOS6581 SIDs. more sidstation history.

i start classes again tomorrow. got a bit done over break, perhaps not as much as i would have liked, but my computer boots up faster now (that's a joke, haha). so, i haven't done too much web surfing recently, but here's some really good stuff:
- the conversations revolving around traffic and the us war on drugs is for the most part lively and interesting at /.
- k5 has a really interesting discussion going on about how non-americans feel about americans.
