  Like I was telling you people. He really is human. I just wish that
I could get away with using the easy road and pull it off looking so
well. Making it look easy is actually the hardest part.

On a side note: 

  I visited your utilites page a couple of days ago and I am impressed
at the assymbled collection you have to offer there. The nicest part was
that it was open just in time for my birthday. I found lot's of nice,
new, pretty, shiny, glittering with gold, toys to play with and all in
one convieniant place too. I stayed there so long looking at them the guy
behind the counter asked me to leave. He said the look on my face was
scaring people away. I took one of everything and left quickly before
someone found out what I was up to. :^ }

Thank you for the birthday gifts you have given me. Getting ancient
doesn't seem so bad now.

Even if it's a couple of days too late:


Happy birthday Uncle Ken!!!!!

May you live long and may you stay healthy!
May your raytracing be the way you want them and may your CPU never
stop!

Somebody with a nice birthday pic?

All the best,

Marc

I'd go for ugliest...

Good images are hard to make. Mediocre images are easy. However, making the
truly painful images is as much an art form as the truly great.

   I must be a latent undiscovered artist then. Everything I start looks
 like it has been hit about the head and shoulders with an ugly stick.
 I made one really beautiful image once but my computer recognized that
 it did not match the rest my work and it ate it.

Do you mean "Fatal Beauty"?

It was cool and was going to be cooler.

Alas;
