The American Entertainer

The American Entertainer 20 Feb 2025 A few days ago, the US vice-president made a speech at the Munich Security Conference. The US vice-president... "JP, right? JD Mandel?" No, that was his name until recently when they changed it and now they call him JD Vance. Anyway, this guy from America, who apparently doesn't have a clue what the word "demos" means, decided to give a lecture based on some twisted ideas about defending the freedom of populist propaganda by extremist groups. At first, it all sounded like some inept joke coming from a "Trump University" graduate but then the clown removed his makeup and joined the leader of the German far-right AfD party for a private talk. It seems that after "Optimusk Inutilis" recent interference in Germany's federal election we also have this Peter Thiel puppet trying to upset the balance of power in european politics. At one point, the Thiel minion said: "If you’re running in fear of your...

Lucky Loser or Crafty Winner?

Lucky Loser or Crafty Winner? 06 Nov 2024 The 2024 US presidential election is over and Trump won it, convincingly. America has spoken and this time there are no excuses for the majority who voted for Trump. They knew exactly who the man is and what he stands for! Or did they? Some will say that the mainstream media were biased in their portrayal of the two candidates or that the campaign of the Democratic Party was not forceful enough or even that there was foreign interference. I don't buy any of those arguments. In my opinion, it was all about immigration and the economy and how the Trump team twisted and merged the two into a single issue which they could then sell to a largely uneducated electorate in remote areas. Another important influence among less educated voters was the preconceived notion that a male leader is more effective. Finally, I would also consider the fact which emerged live on our screens courtesy of Elon's wit... Apparently, you can easily buy...

BPS-BEVEL2D

Blender Python Script - Bevel2D Function 8 Sep 2023 This is the second installment of my Blender Python Script series, a compilation of python scripts for Blender that I have written in the last few years. All the scripts are fully commented and the functions are easily customizable for use in different scenarios. In this episode, I share with you the "bevel2d" function which is a simple implementation of a bevel algorithm. I have also included a demo module that you can run in Blender to see the effect of the function in real time. Code Download Page Video Presentation

BPS-ENUM

Blender Python Script - Enumerator Property Examples 21 Aug 2023 Over the last month I have been going through blender python code I have written in the last couple of years in an effort to compile a list with interesting and reusable scripts which I should store for future reference and which will probably be useful to other developers as well. So far, I have selected about twelve scripts and I’m sure there will be more that I would like to share with others. Of course, I will have to tidy up the code first and add comprehensive comments before uploading. I also think the examples should be accompanied by video presentations. Today, I uploaded the first one with examples using the Enumerator property. Code Download Page Video Presentation

The A.I. Threat Palaver

The A.I. Threat Palaver 19 July 2023 When the marketing channels of social media vibrate on the same frequency, the resulting resonance is felt throughout the web. A few months ago, that frequency was "the effect of AI on society". Within hours, you had all sorts of channels talking about AI, pictures with human-robot heads, video interviews with scientists, narratives on how AI controls our lives and so on... There were doomsday fearmongers going "AI gon' whoop yo' ass", silly vanilli influencers prompting you to ask AI for help on how to win the affections of that girl you fancy and YouTube "professors" offering tutorials on the effective use of ChatGPT. The comments were hilarious! Some were even asking if technology will destroy our civilization. I mean, is this the 21st century? Do people know the meaning of that word? If they don't, surely they can look it up? Here is a definition from the Oxford Dictionary.   technology (noun): the ap...
