As awesome as Captain America jumping off of Optimus Prime

My Super Duper Computer

Posted by Nick

So I was doing a freelance video on my old 2005 masterpiece  of a computer known only as "The Beast" the past few weeks...and I noticed it acting a bit sluggish.  After over 3 years of movie making magic, I figured it was time to put it out to pasture.  After seeing some of my coworkers get refurbished macs, I decided to invest in one.  Enter the 8 core!

 So far, it's been a dream come true.  I keep throwing random 3D layers and particles at it and so far it just mocks my attempts and renders them out in no time flat.  I will be doing some render tests over the weekend with some of my old projects from work to see just how much faster it is.

Before I go, I wanted to give a shout out to my friend Jason Smithers over at theworstblogger.com .  He gave me one earlier today and I figured I'd let everyone know that he, much like myself, is awesome.  One look at the pictures on the top of his blog and you'll agree.

It's not Mac's I don't like -- it's the stereotypical, arrogant user base who will buy whatever Steve Jobs sells. Nick is not one of those people so I think it's great Smile
