My friend calynn sent me this absolutely fantastic rendition of the cover to Keeley: Comic Hero Extraordinaire #2! Each difference in shade is its own piece of felt and it has all been cut and assembled with incredible precision. Even the fist’s speedlines are accurate to the original drawing!… Read more“I Have the Best Friend-Fan”

Read Keeley: Comic Hero Extraordinaire #4!
With all of the things going on, I forgot for a time that issue 4 of my comic was incomplete on this very site! I have begun work on issue 5, mostly at the weekly Geek Night at Eastside Tavern with a side of San Diego trip, so I think… Read more“Read Keeley: Comic Hero Extraordinaire #4!”
If I Could Make One Suggestion…?
I’m new to this teaching thing, but I seem to be a hit with my students, so I have a tip for someone even newer than I. The anthropology course I am teaching online is writing intensive, as online courses tend to be. There are multiple weekly discussions and writing… Read more“If I Could Make One Suggestion…?”
Hood Ornaments
Besides the inner workings of Anthropomotron, I am also adding new features readily visible to anthropologists. Adult stature estimation gets some new neighbors as I add juvenile stature estimation and full body stature estimation. Juvenile stature estimation also turns long bone lengths to an estimated stature using findings from two… Read more“Hood Ornaments”
Under the Hood
Working two jobs eased out a lot of my prior free time in the evenings. I stopped playing WoW (at least until the next expansion), and I’ve had less time to work on my major hobby, which is currently Anthropomotron. It is not surprising then that I have made additions… Read more“Under the Hood”
One Small Step

The SAA Meeting in Honolulu!
This post may be a little late but I finally have some free time after returning from Hawaii to write down my thoughts about the event (I’m at the laundromat and I can’t leave due to the Great Clothes Theft of 2012). (May 18: well I may have sat on… Read more“The SAA Meeting in Honolulu!”
Anthropomotron 1.5 is Out!
Today I’m releasing Anthropomotron 1.5 on iOS, Android, and web browser!!! I’m a bit behind schedule with my plan, but here is the “half” update of Anthropomotron! In the next few months I plan to upgrade the stature section. The programing will be the hardest I’ve ever done, but the… Read more“Anthropomotron 1.5 is Out!”
Another Night of Coding Issues
I thought my Anthropomotron update troubles were over when I finally got it running the latest Phonegap, but as I tried to archive the app to upload to the App Store, it failed with an error message: “‘Cordova/CDVViewController.h’ file not found.” Looking around on the internet, it appears that this… Read more“Another Night of Coding Issues”
