Brilliant Stuff for Friday, January 25, 2008:

Skills Improvement:  Here is an exercise from the University of Bristol.  This particular one is about using apostrophes.  When you’re done with that exercise, there is a whole list on the left with links to information and other exercises.

Semicolon Savvy:  I guess today’s entry is following a theme.  Follow this for an easy explanation of proper use of a semicolon.  It’s really not that hard!

Brilliant FX:  Here is a YouTube video that shows someone using an application that traces objects in videos in order to render a model that you can do cool effects with.  Fun to watch!  The application is called VideoTrace.

Charlie and I went to Madison County today.  They were having their annual “Bridge Fest.”  There were about 1.7 Million people there, though, and nowhere to park.  So we just went to the nearby countryside and drove around and saw cows and farms and covered bridges and things.

 Additionally, a photographer from the Des Moines Register was at one of the covered bridges and took a picture of Charlie and me candidly.  Afterward, she asked our names and said our picture may be in tomorrow’s Register or in the West Des Moines Register that gets delivered to our mailbox once a week.  That was kind of cool.

 Here are the pics I took, anyway:
