Before computer science I studied 3D animation, hey look a picture! I used to do texturing, animating, modelling, lighting, and the like. I made this particular character from scratch in a class once. His legs have some extra joints so it was kind of an interesting project rigging him to walk.

I don't really have many hobbies, in my spare time I mostly surf the internet, I suppose one of my hobbies is using Google Calendar . I really like to spend time making lists and plans for the future, and I think Google Calendar is great free software for that. It syncs with all my devices, it can send me emails, and text message reminders right before an event, I can attach google documents to it, such as a shopping list, or some pdf, it's great.
