Using only three game servers that run the Shockwave Multiuser Server, he’s had close to 2000 simultaneous players per server. Starting out with a lot of 3D experience but no programming experience, he’s done all the development himself. He started living his dream when Director 8.5 came out, putting real-time 3D on the web within reach. Read the part one and part two of Hanford Lemoore’s interview with him to learn more about this inspiring indy game maker.

Based in Germany, it has both English and German versions of all interviews. The mission of amadelio is not so much to entertain you as to get you to think. Interviewees are individuals who are culturally influential yet not necessarily featured in mass media. The latest person to be interviewed is war photographer James Nachtwey. Previous interviewees have included photographer Carla van de Puttelaar, photographer/painter Will McBride and dancer Damien Diaz. Get your dose of culture from German vloggers! Free your psyche from the mind-forged-manacles of the American mass media! Check out the amadelio vlog.

I was drawn into the blog of Lelia Katherine Thomas by the exceptional thoughtfulness and creativity she brings to it. Lelia is an original artist of the internet who calls herself a new artist with an old style and old spirit. Born in the United States in Mississippi, she is currently working on obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in multimedia studies at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia. In addition to doing painting, photography, computer graphics and website design, Lelia also writes creatively. She posts in her blog her own works of art and pieces of creative writing, whenever she finishes them. She also brings us the work of others through her blog, when she highlights artists and musicians in her regular MP3 Thursday and Artist Spotlight Friday blog entries. Moral Matters Monday brings us her own considered opinions on moral and social issues, and her whimsical and humorous sides come out in Del.icio.us Tuesdays and Hump Day Funnies. When I interviewed her for Squirrel Tao, it was Lelia’s turn to be in spotlighted.
