I’ll Miss You, Grandma
Dagny Brinch (1914 – 2008)
Pictured here enjoying the summer two years ago, surrounded by grandchildren and great-grand-children.
A google of my late grandmother turns up a music video as one of the first hits. My great-cousin Niels Cederfeld in Los Angeles has a music video that features a brief clip of Dagny from the early 70s.

It’s not so bad.
This is in a wee boat outside Tromøya.

Sunshine means short hair.
In typical norwegian summer fashion it started raining shortly afterwards.

Spore Creatures
The spore creature editor is now available for trial. The results end up looking like this video clip.
The creature editor (even in the limited free edition) is a joy to use, and the flexibility and ease-of-use is remarkable, considering how hard 3D editing is.
The direct manipulation, the responsiveness of the preview to your positioning, the feedback through sound-effects (the spine vertebrae makes click-click sounds as you elongate or shorten the body blob), and the incidental animation of the half-formed creature makes for a fun toy.
It’s not a game yet, but there is a lot of fun in just watching how the creature creator figures out how to make your blob walk and talk.

Trip to Alta
Here’s a brief video (3 minutes) showing the sort of fun we got up to while on our annual off-site research results presentations.
Not shown are the many hours of discussion around development processes, SCRUM methodology, vector-based user interface design, mobile phone market analysis. Also, the eating and drinking are best left as the overstuffed memories we all share.
The food and drink in Alta were stupendously good. Every night we were in for a special treat – trout, reindeer (of course), delicious soups. We were all heavier when we arrived back in Oslo than when we left.
