    • Michal Zisman(michalzisman)

      So I mostly spend my time NOT at synagogues haha

    • Michal Zisman(michalzisman)

      hahah.!Here it's common to have at least 1 synagogue in every neighborhood, And most of them are very strict, as in going by the Orthodox rules. Men and women cannot sit in the same area. Insane... :)

    • Kent Trammell(theluthier)

      ha good point! Though it's mostly protestant where I'm from. I need to visit a catholic church, do confession. YOLO 😀

    • Michal Zisman(michalzisman)

      ooh. yup. religious :) I guess it's good if you're ever in a confession mood

    • Kent Trammell(theluthier)

      There's a church on every corner kinda-thing heh.

    • Kent Trammell(theluthier)

      I'm in virginia, which is middle of the east coast. So we have distinct 4 seasons. Oh you meant religiously

    • Michal Zisman(michalzisman)

      Is it very religious?

    We're going way back in time to the dark ages of computer graphics: 2006. Blender had been open source for only 3 years when Ton Roosendaal and his Blender Foundation decides to challenge convention and make a legitimate animated short film. The result was "Elephants Dream". It sent ripples through the computer graphics industry, being compared to the likes of Pixar. It also pushed Blender's development forward, proving to the world what was possible *without* expensive commercial applications.

    Directed by Bassam Kurdali and a 6-person artist team, this film made history. Today Lampel and I are reviewing "Elephants Dream" with special guest Tim Von Rueden! Join us as we consider the film's narrative, artistry, and technical execution.
