- First steps towards reconstructing a 30-year-old simulation. Marking the locations of the traditional performance stations for the York Corpus Christi pageant. #medievalyork #mysteryplay #unity3d
- Thank you, 1993 Dennis, for documenting this low-resolution (the background image was 640×480 pixels with 16 colors) simulation so thoroughly. I hope to bring it back to life and upgrade it to 3D soon.
- Support the arts in your community! #augustwilson #radiogolf
- I came of age playing too many CD-ROM point-and-click adventure games to ignore these steep stairs. (Downtime in downtown #Pittsburgh.)
- I created about a dozen basic building shapes, with textures to add variety. #goodenough #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay
- Who choked up while reading aloud Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” during a lesson on creative nonfiction? This guy.
- Little green owl, if your emotions depend this much on how often I practice, that’s definitely a ‘you’ problem, buddy.
- No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.
- Sold out closing performance. Support the arts in your community!
- Enjoying the “Science of Pixar” 3d computer modeling and storytelling exhibit with my son. @kaminsciencecenter

Gratitude to everyone who has agreed to help organize and participate in Seton Hill’s memorial service.

Thanks so much for thinking of me and thank you for the invite! My family and I are on our way out of town, or I would love to come. I do remember, I was on my way to WCT (as it was called in those days), and word was buzzing around campus of what happened. I remember walking from Lowe to Lynch Auditorium just feeling so helpless but also feeling sad and a bit guilty that I was safe and so many were hurting, unaccounted for and still in danger. It was amazing to see in a time of tragedy how that well known ‘Seton Hill Family’ pulled together and became one and supported not only those effected on campus by it but also how we reached out to so many in need. That aspect of Seton Hill always shines through in times of need…the sense of one-ness and the sense of family.
Thanks again, Dr. J! 🙂

This is so great that you guys made a post for us to post about 9-11. It’s so odd to think about how much it still affects our nation.
