So this evening I spent most of the night creating my slideshow presentation in Keynote for tomorrow.  Tomorrow I speak at a hackerspace in L.A. called Crashspace.

It was pretty tough designing the slideshow.  This is the first time anyone has asked me to speak about the blog and I didn’t know how to present it.  I tried at first to select highlights from it but instead I found myself just adding everything.  At times I condensed multiple days into a single slide but I felt it was better to have everything available in case there might be something interesting to say about it.

275 days is a lot of days to go through and I didn’t finish creating the slideshow this evening.

I felt like creating the slideshow wasn’t the most exciting creative thing to present for this evening.  I don’t know why.  Everyone I tell that too is like “why?  Creating a slideshow is creative.”

So, I decided just before bed to create this random abstract shape in Cinema 4D.  I threw some lights into the scene, found an interesting angle, added a semi-transparent material to it and rendered it with all the bells and whistles.  It rendered overnight but never actually finished.  The picture you see above is maybe 1/4th of the whole thing.
