Trust and friendship prove to be more valuable than wealth in the story of Damon and Pythias. Written by James Baldwin and read by Dennis Jerz.
One day earlier in the summer I visited the studio for a couple of hours and churned out three or four recordings. Here is one of them.

The Search, Part 2 (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 2) The Federation makes a risky deal with the Dominion; Odo learns from other Changelings
Rewatching ST:DS9 After the recap of Part 1, a female Changeling (leader? spokesperson?) says Odo was sent by his people out into the universe as their equivalent of an infant, in order to learn about the “solids.” When she takes Odo’s hand, both of their limbs mingle as orange goo, which causes Odo to appear…
Shutting the Door on the Hard-Knock Life
In sync with the resurgence of labor activism nationwide, actors, dancers, stage managers, technicians and others have been questioning the nuts and bolts of their contracts — both the documents that detail their jobs and the wider assumptions about what they owe an audience. Can the theater, they ask, find a way to uphold them…
The Search, Part 1 (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 1) Sisko takes the Defiant on a mission to contact the Founders
Rewatching ST:DS9 Although the season 2 finale didn’t end in a cliffhanger, the season 3 opener begins with “Last time on Star Trek Deep Space Nine,” followed by clips, followed by “And now, the continuation.” (Note… not “the conclusion.”) In Ops, Kira and the senior staff are debating how best to respond to a Jem’Hadar…
More delightful #steampunk control panels. These are computationally efficient bitmap rectangles, that emulate #neovictorian brass and glass geometry through #blender3d #cgi magic. #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
I apologize for this one. R2-D2 stars in Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical CATS.

Slicing up a massively detailed trimsheet to simulate reflections and geometry for four variations of a #steampunk console keyboard. #blender3dart #blender3d #design #aesthetics
Top: flat, monochrome rectangles. Middle: rectangles with a flat bitmapped texture of buttons and dials. Bottom: angles, smoothness, glow, and metallic reflections added by texture magic. #blender3d #steampunk control panel #design #aesthetics #blender3dart
The Jem’Hadar (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 2, Episode 26) Sisko father-son bonding vacation threatened by Ferengi and the Dominion
Rewatching ST:DS9 Sisko is unimpressed by Jake’s botany science project, and offers to take him on a vacation through the wormhole to do a planetary survey, proving he’s learned absolutely nothing from O’Brien’s attempt to take a runabout on a vacation. Space Dad is flummoxed when Space Son announces he’s invited Nog to come along,…

I baked about 12 million vertices of steampunk control panel geometry into a flat plane with just 4 vertices. All these reflections are mathematically faked, saving memory and speeding up rendering. #blender3d #steampunk #blender3dart #design #aesthetics #optimizing #gameready
Tribunal (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 2, Episode 25) O’Brien Must Suffer: shore leave interrupted for a Cardassian show trial
Rewatching ST:DS9 O’Brien annoys everyone in Ops with last-minute instructions. On his way to join Keiko on a runabout for their vacation, he runs into a former shipmate from the Rutledge. Boone says he’s left Starfleet and is now settled on the Cardassian side of the demilitarized zone. The two promise to check up with…
