4-28-11 As I wait for the last files to finish rendering tonight, it's time for an update on the film!

Today was another great day on the set of The Flight of Man. Great people, beautiful footage, powerful story, and convincing actors. A recipe for success!

We shot at an old farm museum, which had so many cool things! I can't believe how much old stuff was packed away in that place! Definitely added a nice touch to the film.

I was even "talent" for a bit towards the end, but I won't tell you which part. You'll have to figure it out for yourself once you see it ;)

The picture above is actually from Tuesday, but I don't have any more released photos to show you yet, so it will have to do.

I'm SUPER tired, so I'm going to head off to bed. Hopefully those files are done by now. Tomorrow should be another full day, but I'm looking forward to it! Until then!

SICP-RS: Exercise 1.8 - Cube Roots

Part 3 of the SICP-RS Series The next coding exercise in Chapter 1 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is Exercise 1.8, which is a slight variation on the 1.7 exercise: Exercise 1.8: Newton’s method for cube roots is based on the fact that if

SICP-RS: Exercise 1.7 - Square Roots, Newton Style

Part 2 of the SICP-RS Series The next coding exercise in Chapter 1 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is Exercise 1.7: The good-enough? test used in computing square roots will not be very effective for finding the square roots of very small numbers. Also, in real computers,

SICP-RS: Exercise 1.3 - Sum of Squares

Part 1 of the SICP-RS Series The first coding exercise we come to in Chapter 1 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is Exercise 1.3: Define a procedure that takes three numbers as arguments and returns the sum of the squares of the two larger numbers. [1] Step
