another day<\/b><\/u> – another step forward<\/p>\n

Generally speaking today turned out to be a pretty good day.  I made a
\nlot of progress learning the various graphics tools I need , received some very
\ncool compliments on the work I’ve been doing so far and gathered a lot of good
\ninformation business wise.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, I might have been missing a chance at some investment.. I
\noften concentrated on the online methods of finding venture capital , and I
\nreally didn’t pay any attention to the face to face style just like in the ‘old
\ndays’.  <\/p>\n

So I called a few of the local business associations left some voicemail
\nmessages and am hopingto set up some meetings tomorrow for next week.  With
\nany luck we can get featured at some of the meet and greet lunches they have
\nbetween bankers and entrepreneurs.  With any liuck we will get the
\nopportunity to pitch for people who are actually interested in investing <\/p>\n

Even though the market is fairly low there is still lots of interest in
\nhigh-tech firms.  Fortunately some of the more astute investors around have
\nrealized that this is a good opportunity to start building their internet
\nportfolio while the prices of the investments are low.<\/p>\n

I did render a
\n
\nnew image<\/a> today.  Printed it on the best paper I have available to me
\nand took it dojo.  I  showed it to about ten or fifteen people and
\nthey all think the work is incredible.  To make sure they had something to
\ncompare it with fiber with me and render from the
\n
Final Fantasy<\/a>
\nmovie.  Generally speaking they were impressed that we can do what we’re
\ndoing with the level of hardware we have available to us.  I’m very
\nimpressed myself <\/p>\n

The important thing, much more important than their praise is that I realized
\nmy current business direction is the first one I have ever had that I could
\nexplain in 1 minute or less to a non-technical person. This is a good thing<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Anyway I’m having some minor problems with my software as it looks like
\n

\n3D Studio Max<\/a> doesn’t want to run with
\n
Windows XP<\/a>. 
\nThat’s okay I can run and I’m one of the other machines for the times I need it
\nfor now. <\/p>\n

We seem to have have the characters, software, and textures we need for now.
\nI am working on the skills.  We’re still missing some clothing[
1<\/a>][2<\/a>],
\nand we’d definitely<\/b><\/i> need more
\n

\nhair<\/a>. Sadly, the clothing and hair are kind of expensive. <\/p>\n

Hopefully over the next few weeks I can make enough money to buy what we need
\nbefore it holds us up. On the bright side, the
\n

\nposes<\/a> are fairly cheap so I might be able to grab them over the weekend \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Yes, I will soon be able to reveal the secret project all this is for \ud83d\ude42 \n<\/p>\n

And last but not least, the court
\n
threw
\nout<\/a> a good portion of the
Microsoft<\/a>
\nruling.  While it’s still going to be going through the legal system it
\ndoes look like Microsoft is can be broken up anytime soon.  You can find
\nthe whole ruling
\n

\nhere<\/a>, and obviously they are going berserk over
\n

\nhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s OK because I’m actually really getting the hang of this voice
\ndictation thing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

That’s it for now I have to get some sleep.  Remember that we’re going
\nto the
fight tonight<\/a> so it’s unclear whether or not all get another chance to
\nmake an entry before tomorrow <\/p>\n

Goodnight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
