Make mine a pina COLLADA

At Animate Me HQ, we've been working on integrating COLLADA into our animation tool. COLLADA is an open-source file format for digital asset exchange. If any of you out there are thinking of tackling the same thing, we suggest you have a look at collada-rt before you start. collada-rt comes with the COLLADA distribution, and reads COLLADA files into data structures. It was seriously useful sample code for decoding the tricky COLLADA file format. Also indispensable were the public forums on collada.org.

I heart Chumby

My Chumby is awesome.  It displays my pictures.  It shows me the temperature outside (currently 100 degrees).  I think it even makes me more efficient, because instead of surfing over to icanhascheezburger, my Chumby keeps me up to date on the LOL cats. Yay Chumby!
