CGTextures strives to be the world's best texture site. Being a 3D artist myself, I know how difficult it is to create textures without good photo materials. Making textures should be about creativity--not about frustrating hours looking for images on the Internet. By supplying good-quality textures in an organized manner, I hope your everyday work will be easier and more enjoyable. Many thanks go out to the people who have contributed textures to this site. If you have stumbled upon this site and are wondering who may need these odd pictures of brick walls and other materials, take a look in the user gallery. You will discover the many way these textures are used for. - Christopher Allen

And so he went out and collected directories for some nearby towns and picked out around 600 names. "I started out at a random number and then skipped so many and got to the next one," he says. To these 600 strangers, Kunz sent his Christmas greetings: handwritten notes or a card with a photo of him and his family. And then Kunz waited to see what would happen. "It was just, you know, a shot in the dark," he says. "I didn't know what would happen." But about five days later, responses started filtering back — slowly at first and then more, until eventually they were coming 12, 15 at a time. Eventually Kunz got more than 200 replies. - Christopher Allen

Interesting article talking about the recent departures of Apple's Forstall and Microsoft's Sinofsky.

KEYQUOTE: "Restoration: This phase affords a planned recovery period to allow mental and physical recharging. Restoration phases often follow Transmutation cycles, but can be introduced at any time. Scheduled Restoration phases refresh focus, combat burnout, and prevent fatigue. The defocus creates lag window for assimilating short-term achievements made in Accumulation and Transmutation blocks into long-term progression. Restoration phases can provide time for contemplation, assessment of goal metrics, planning of future goals, and for devising future periodization blocks. In preparing for the SAT, a Restoration cycle might represent a summer break from school. - Christopher Allen
