Just a head up...

As you may have noticed, or I have at least, that my blog's popularity is finally growing. Last time I checked, it was up to 1004 unique visits! Unfortunately, however, I won't be posting that much this summer. In June and some of July, I'll be at some dumb summer camp, that has a ban on all electronics. So much for smuggling in an NXT! But I'm not here to rant, just to give you a head up. I might try to get a online friend to substitute blog for me. But up till then, I'm here, posting!

Anyone coming to Maker Faire?

Anyone coming to the Maker Faire? If you are, leave a comment, maybe I'll see you there! I'll be there May 3rd and 4th with my dad. Last year they had a MINDSTORMS booth and a LEGO setup....
I took some pics last year, look at some of them here.

Great 3-D animation software!

I recently found a great 3-D animation software, called "Alice". It is a very easy to learn, drag-and-drop environment, very similar to NXT-G. There are two versions, Storytelling Alice, for middle schoolers, and Alice 2.0, for high schoolers and college students. I would recommend Alice 2.0, even if you aren't high school+. I'm 12 and I learned it in 15 minutes! And did I mention it's completely free? You can also make simple 3-D games with it. I will send you the game I made if you email me at nxtmonger@gmail.com.
