IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR MY READERS!!!

Sooo. I originally came to Blogger from Tumblr. I absolutely LOVED tumblr. except for the fact that they didn't have a way to comment.
HOWEVER... in recent Natalie Studies... I have found a way to add comments on my tumblr account. and BONUS is you DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF ANYTHING TO COMMENT!
So I guess my question is...
Where do you prefer reading my posts?

Here or
my tumblr blog... Infinatalie on Tumblr

I like how EASY it is to post on tumblr and Customize the layout... you don't need to have any special skills to get a nice looking blog on tumblr...

with that being said, Blogger is a lot more open as to what you can add to the blog... such as widgets and what not...

but in the end I guess I prefer the tumblr blog because I don't use the widgets on here anyway! haha...
I've figured out how to get google connect in the side bar of my tumblr blog... so you will only have to refollow once..

So anyway.. let me know on what you think.. which blog you like best, and all that jazz.

Thanks for reading, guys and gals! :D

TIDBITS: Blender. The “Self-Taught” Way

So I’ve recently been farting around with a few potential new hobbies…

One of them is Blender. Blender is a free to download and use 3D content creation ‘SUITE’ as they call it. It basically is a 3D animator! There are many things you can do with blender. Some of the more popular things being Modeling, Rigging, Animation, Realtime 3D/Game Creation, and Animated Movies.

Recently I began to look into this program, courtesy of Matt. He helped me navigate around the interface of the program and also found a few tutorials. I am going to teach myself this program, and maybe hopefully make a game or a movie using my newfound skills!

I’m really excited about it and if you would like to join in on the fun, go ahead and get the download, and try out some of the tutorials!

And now, I present to you, my very first animated character…
Gus the Gingerbread Man

Kinda neat, huh?

I will keep you updated on my Blender adventure!
