Trekbbs comic 
Medical school is amazing so far, it keeps getting more and more interesting every day. Of course there is a ton of work, a friend described it as eating 5 pancakes each day. If you miss one day, you have to eat 10 the next day! :confused: It is pretty darn intense. I have my 3rd block exams on Monday, my birthday, but I will study HARD and do the best I can. And then go out!

I recently inked my Trekbbs comic project contribution:



I look forward to coloring it some time soon. I really screwed up on the perspective shot, but next time I will try to use 3D. I found John Byrne's forum (he is a famous comic book artist who drew X-men, and currently draws Star Trek comics for IDW publishing) and he has a thread where he describes how he uses a 3d model of the bridge to help make accurate looking shots. I plan on doing the same. Fortunately, there is a site that already has these 3d models built: http://www.trekmeshes.ch/

Accepted! 
I got accepted to the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in St. Maarten! Really happy and excited to leave on May 2nd to start my journey of becoming a doctor. I know that the next four years will be really intense, studying 12 hours a day but it is exactly what I want. This blog will probably be neglected but I hope to give it some attention whenever I have some down time. I'll probably add a medicine section or something... who knows!

New W_Rock for CoopTF 
My quake 1 buddy Trickle kept bugging me to make a world model version of Dox's qwtf Rocket Launcher, so this is what I finally churned out after about 3 months of fighting for free time, and averting catastrophes:





I am leaving for Israel for my big brother's wedding on Thursday and I am super excited. These next two weeks will be a great time spent with family and friends :grin:

Turn your webcam into a security camera 
Today I bought a $30 Microsoft webcam so I could chat with my gf when I am out of the country. I remembered seeing a link on lifehacker on how to setup your web cam so that it does motion detection. I found the link and set it up, it works great!

Sites for finding cheap textbooks 

Here are a few websites that I used when I was in college for getting really cheap prices for textbooks. I was sure to order these ahead of time because shipping can take time, anywhere from a week or 2 weeks.

http://www.half.ebay.com/textbooks - very cheap and good

http://isbn.nu/ - you just put in the ISBN number on the textbook and it shows you many sites and compares the prices for you, very good too

http://www.textbooksrus.com/ - this is the site that I got my textbooks usually (for science classes), I would get the International editions. International editions are the textbooks the book companies sell in other countries for cheaper. In other countries, people don't pay high prices for books like they do here in America. It is illegal for American book stores to sell these, so you have to get them online.

Ok, good luck and let me know how much money you save!!!
