Comments on: “Tin Cup” http://blog.daytonc.com/archives/55 if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:32:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.6 by: Your Bro http://blog.daytonc.com/archives/55#comment-31 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 11:37:37 +0000 http://blog.daytonc.com/archives/55#comment-31 OK. I'm not an artist so I don't know the rules about "suggestions" and things like that. And I'm not blind so I don't know what the sight impaired are looking for in a putt-putt hole. However, I am a pastor so I am used to speaking my mind. And I am also a golfer (mini on occasion) with the lowest putt-putt score on record at "The Park" in Jackson (the elephant course, not the giraffe course), so I speak with some authority on the matter of "playability." Here it is: The best part about a hole-in-one is taking your ball out of the hole. Instead of a cup what if their was a lower tier with the objective "hole" in it? Same mechanism but you pluck your ball out of a tin cup that sits in the midst of more astro-turf- like an actual mini-golf hole. Particularly, if I just scored a 64 on the half-pipe hole I want to feel good about myself by retrieving my hole-in-one out a hole. Or it could be that every hole is "the hole" in which case I just wasted about 5 minutes of my life. So if I have transgressed against some kind of artist's code of suggesting things then oops. But for validity's sake, I submit this as a blind person, well "sight impared" actually. Like my kindred soul in Bethsaida, who, when asked by The Eye Doctor, "Can you see anything?" responded, "I can see people, but they look like trees walking." Peace out homie! OK.

Nice post, too! I didn't even have to open up a tab with the Urban Dictionary... (much love!!!!!) Daniel: We will also be learning (the basics of) Maya, Blender and Wings3D. It's extra fun because we have a CNC machine in the closet that we can print to. Rubens: Don’t know the piece. Will check it out. Nice post, too!

I've been tooling around with it for a bit now, creating a walk-through model of my house. My friend, Aaron, works for an architecture firm, and he uses it all of the time for concept and planning - then hops over to AutoCAD for the final deal. I can't wait to see what you learn with the more advanced software. what programs will you be using? Sketchup is a bunch of fun.

It's entry-level awesome, of course, but when you don't know anything at all it's great. Yep. Going for number three... Lotta factors. Bigger pond, less "fancy", nerdy U Chicago judgement probably... We'll see. I might make it even if I don't get the job. I like the idea a lot. Sketchup is awesome, and free, free, free.

I guess I'm removed from the experience. Just kiddin'. I like the idea of contrasting the "loser" piece though. Of course I do also like that you might be able to skateboard and play miniature golf at the same time. Although I do neither activity, I'd be up for trying them together. Sketchup looks really cool. I need to make a reason to try it out. If this proposal works out, you will be 3 for 3, right? I'll be prayin' for your Calvinist hide. Aww damn me and my semi-Armenian ways!

This will revolutionize my planning of work. From Sketchup we just move on to more awesome programs. Question 2: Yes, it is an "everyone's a winner" kind of thing. This is in contrast to a fellow student's design that places the hole on the face of a quarterpipe, representing the "everyone's a loser" camp. Also, theologically speaking, this should only be interpreted from within a Calvinist, non-universalist framework. Question 1: Yes. It is Sketchup. This will revolutionize my planning of work.

Is this some sort of "everyone's a winner" kind of thing? Hopefully if you can make it up the ramp you can get the ball in at least one of those holes. Cool sketches.
