I was going over the Game Developer's Conference schedule for 2006 and came across this session entitled "Collada for the PlayStation3". The reason it caught my eye is that Collada is a specification put forth by the Khronos Group, which I had read about in my SVG research. Read the rest of this entry ...

Sam and I took the boys to Toys "R" Us last night more for something to do than for shopping. They had fun, smeared their germs on some toys while Sam and I got some ideas for Christmas.
Anyway, on the way out while packing everybody into the minivan at 8:45 PM (we didn't realize how late it was), I saw two younger guys getting out of their car and carrying a bundle of stuff towards the store.
