Fresh Install List

Getting started with 3D Elements in WPF

I was watching the video entitled How Do I: Get started with 3D Elements in WPF and was just completely thrown off by author, Todd Miranda’s, complete lack of visuals.  So I played around with his example until I better understood what was going on and I figured I’d share.  Please understand that I am not a XAML master and certainly not in 3D, so if you find any errors please let me know.

Gunnar Optiks glasses update

All I can say is I love my Gunnar Optiks Rx computer glasses.  My whole body just feels better at the end of the day and I have a lot less sensitivity to light at 10pm.  In general, during my day, I concentrate more and lose myself in my work more since I got these glasses.  I highly recommend them to everyone who spends most of their day in front of a computer monitor.
