Comes to My mind: "Suspension of disbelief..."

Workstation?

I'm convinced that boredom is derived from a restless mind, except for when I'm really bored. Only when my mind has defined and labeled the moment as boring and when I trust it to be true can boredom start to exist, and not even then.

In reality boredom never occurred, only in the mind has it appeared as a very personal interpretation of reality. Like all objectifying tags applied to reality it makes us blind to what really is.

Meditation is a state of conscious boredom, a technique to quiet the mind and increase awareness of thoughts. I'm askin myself: Is this craving for more and better a never ending occupation to keep the mind away from boredom or a beautiful search for fulfilment?

Comes to My mind: "I need a new workstation"

Welcome to my Blog!

This is where I'll post tutorials, downloads, work in progress, shaders and compounds, random posts and thoughts. The purpose of this blog is mainly to have time-saving production ideas in one place, to clear my mind from abstract thoughts and convert to more concrete items. It's also an attempt to even out my "World Wide Web" output-to-input ratio. I'll do my best to make sense and share with you the good things in life. Cheers!

Comes to my mind: "Do it 'cause you love it and for no other reason"
