Hi friends. My son, Oliver, is in surgery today to remove a brain tumor that has returned after six years. He needs your good hopes and well-wishes for a speedy recovery. Thank you.

He doesn't let me take many pictures of him... My son Oliver is getting his next brain MRI at St. Judes in a few hours. If you all could send him positive energy for clear scans, I do appreciate it. Thanks.

While returning home from the Blender Conference I saw this out the window of my plane somewhere over Lake Ontario. I swear this is real. #b3d

I'm going to be doing these all month.
My grandfather recorded this in 1993 in the woods near his home. He swears it was real. And stupid. #b3d

I'm home from Amsterdam and the #bcon25 and my Blender Conference 2025 lanyard has taken its place in my growing conference lanyard collection.

Everything feels sad, so here's a good boy I saw today in Amsterdam.

The first assignment in one of my 3D animation courses is to remake a film studio logo animation (vanity card) as closely as possible, but change the text. I made my own. Fellow GenX folks will remember this one. #b3d

Spaceship Sunday! I wanted to see if I could build a large ship with only geometry nodes. I love this software - ...plays in realtime. #blender3d #spaceship #b3d

Hi everyone. My son Oliver (the talented pizza chef below) and I are heading to St. Jude's tomorrow for his next scan. He had a brain tumor successfully removed over six years ago, but needs a scan every four months. Before each scan I request positive energy from the good folks on bsky. Thanks!
