Monday Morning Polyhacker -- Jan. 9
posted by Scott Hsu-Storaker at 12:00 AM
The usual hibernation time of the holidays actually turned out to be a very productive period for us around here. An old friend from an old project, Nibbuls, stopped by and had a bunch of time to crank through a lot of great work. Also, the constant stream of Pacific storms finally produced a few breaks of sun that I was able to use to wrangle two new sets of source material for us to use as jumping-off points. So, here it goes.
~---~
We started up two new free urban models content packs, one for a local urban park that crosses Gilman Street and one, potentially huge, set for the South of Market Area (SOMA) in San Francisco. Nibbuls and I were kind of eager to start modeling some new stuff, so early in the day of New Year's Eve, we (well mostly Nibbuls) busted through quite a few.
There's been a lot more work going on, but I will leave that information for later roundups.

The first week of the blog has been great so far. I set the bar pretty high on getting the amount of content I wanted up here even though writing is something beyond my usual expectations for time spent working on coop projects. Fortunately I was able to use 5 months of work as a springboard to help kick it off. Starting this week, I plan to post new articles twice a week, this roundup on Mondays and my usual jibber-jabber on, most likely, Thursdays.

Thousander Club Update
As I wrote in my post about my goal to work 1000 hours on artwork for coop projects and more, I said that I would be reporting on my progress. Seeing that I was on vacation, weekend and holiday for seven out of the first nine days of the year, I'm OK with the progress so far.
