A quick note

Nothing much, got a few minutes before class.

RealD 3D glasses don't work with conventional polarization
This should have been obvious to me, but I figured the glasses were polarized in such a way that it was undetectable by me, but still produced a 3D effect when looking at a typical red//blue 3D image. Unfortunately, RealD uses a different technology, where the lens is polarized in such a way that it cannot see half the frames of the projected film (or a special monitor/tv), and not so that red and blue converge and pop out. Until I find some old-style glasses, I'm going to have to keep playing my games conventionally.



CSS
I had a nice chat with my dad about CSS the other day, and when I have time (summer- hopefully) I'm going to read some books and hopefully learn enough to do some basic work with CSS. I really need to grab a few books (because nothing says high tech like a book) and play around with web design, since I haven't done much in the way of coding since 2002 or so. Of course, the hope would be that I also purchase a domain by summer, and get hosting set up. Godaddy has a "blogcast" package that is priced pretty low, and if I use wordpress I'd be able to export this blog to that site easily. Why you ask? The ".blogspot.com" is fine for now, but my own domain would certainly look more professional- and would also give me a space for portfolio, shows, etc.
