I am a business, program, project and portfolio manager, with 25 years of business management and administration, market and sales management, and consulting, predominantly in IT. I worked for CSC and EDS, as well as ran my own entrepreneurial startups, developing some of the first web applications.

I started as a programmer back when we had to use rocks and sticks, and continue dabbling in tech even today. I program now in Python and have about 10 PCs and servers at home, running various time-capsule flavors of Windows and Linux.

For video editing and post-pro, I use Blender on an HP dual-core with dual monitors and 1T disk storage. I contribute to the global community by helping the Blender Foundation in writing the user manual, producing training videos and tutorials, and asnswering questions on the BlenderArtists forum.

I am amazed at the creativity of the human spirit. I am delighted to share. I help wherever I can. In my first month with this site, I have 10,500 views and going strong! Thanks Vimeo for spreading the knowledge!

    Simply wonderful. I got it from the visual and the title; didn't need the explanation. Lots of meaning and emotion portrayed on many levels.

    no reason to scale initially, since you did not adjust them when you created the object, so that is a wasted step (or you should had changed the dimensions when you created).

    When making a 3D object as a goal, using a 3D object is not the only way; using a mirror is often better and faster, since you are only working with half as many verts and thus half the complexity.

    Have fun learning Blender!
