Spirituality

Unity3d

PROS

• Well lubed drag-and-drop asset pipeline.
• Component based.
• The API is well thought out.
• Creative user community creating many well crafted plugins and assets.
• Supports almost everything. Playing McDROID on your VW beetle's dashboard? Yes. You. Can.

CONS

• Mono develop is slow on the latest SSD, and sucks in many other un-funny ways.
• If you are an artist, the UI API will make you a very miserable person and will accelerate your aging.
• Iteration cycles are a bit slow since you cannot type your code as you play (.NET scripts need to be compiled)
• Can't bake navmesh at runtime (means if you want to do level editor in game, you need to use a third party nav API)

Conclusion: Get it, buy NGUI and arongranberg's A* pathfinder.

Tripod Mounting for the Logitech c910

The logitech c910 is a fantastic camera. Hidef, fast (meaning bright), and fast (high FPS).
But it doesn't have a tripod mount.
I just came back from Home depot and did this:

Here is how it's done:
Buy a 1/4-20 nut (6c)

Superglue gel ($2.75)

Tripod vivitar ($34)

glue the nut to the end of the webcam's base

let it dry then mount

That's all.

Farmville

PROS:

• fun with the proper bot (http://farmvillebot.net/)
• fun with the proper crop table (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Au9W7awFA7OBdDdUbE1CNEVfY3BiSzdRX1pSMlZDT1E&hl=en)

CONS:

• none, it's better than life

Windows 7

PROS:

• usable performances

CONS:

• the awkward & ugly GUI feels muddy
• locks down a *lot*
• abysmal touch support (touching the edge of a button won't click the button LOL)

CONCLUSION:

Wait for sp1 then upgrade (from XP :)

PROS:
