I just watched "The Number 23". Huh. I hear some people became obsessed and then freaked out by seeing the number 23 everywhere. Luckily for me I'm hopeless at math, and adding things up on my fingers quickly became tiresome.

Computer nerdery

Working in 3D without open GL is hard, as is working in After Effects (2.5D). Given that I'm currently working on a large-ish project that needs a fair amount of animation, I found my home PC somewhat lacking.

Ok, so I finally broke down and *bought* a graphics card.

I've just gone from the old scavenged GeForce2 MX400 to a nice shiny 7300GT (256MB DDR3). I must say, it's nice having antialiased textures in Maya, and open GL in After Effects doesnt hurt either. Neither did the $95 price.
