School has begun and I am now well-entrenched in learning multimedia tools. I am taking five classes this semester - two of them are cake, because their intro type classes that I only need to qualify for a certificate. But the classes are:

Introduction to Multimedia
Digital Video
Photoshop & Illustrator
Macromedia Flash
Adobe After Effects

I have my hands full. And I also don't have all the software at home, so I pretty much need to use the facilities at CSM to do my homework. However, I just had a little ebay fiasco when I bought some illegal software activation codes from some scam artist, thinking I was getting the actual software at an extreme discount. Fortunately, I filed a complaint via Pay Pal and was able to get my money back. So I am still without software at home. Well, I have the 30-day trial period on Flash.

Anyway, in the midst of all this, the CSM Robotics Rumble 3.1 occurs tomorrow, and I will be participating. I have made some modifications to my robot and look forward to kicking some bots around tomorrow. See the battle history for CSM Rumble 3.1 for more info. I will update it as time permits.

Speaking of time, I have used up my available time for today. I have my first Flash animation on the Mac and will put that up soon. It is very reminiscent of "Iguana Productions". If you are familiar with Iguana Productions, you'll understand when you see it. ;-)

UPDATE:
OK, here it is.
