Ubuntu car


Since I got all multi-media-ey with that Kevin Smith post, and since I want to set a record for the most number of labels for a single post to my blog, I'm posting a picture of my virtual Honda CRX that I'm driving around in the Xbox 360 game Forza Motorsport 2.

One of the many cool things about the game is that you can design your own graphics. There are lots of people who have done some amazing bits of artwork for their cars, particularly considering that they're not bitmaps, they're hundreds (or sometimes thousands) of layers of simple objects, layered and colored to look right. I soooo don't have that kind of time on my hands, so instead I went for something simple: the Ubuntu logo. It turned out OK. When I have more time on my hands, I might try to spell out "ubuntu" in that rounded font of theirs... which means tediously resizing multiple rectangles, circles, and arcs.

Oh, and the driving part of Forza 2 is pretty fun too. :)
