It all looks very exciting and I cant wait to get underway.
For thursdays tutorial I have located this video:
The Infamous "Leeroy Jenkins" from World of Warcraft. I believe this reflects an important idea about the nature of explosions, in that one explosion can trigger another, which can trigger another and so forth, until the problem can grow out of hand. This concept is very closely related to the idea behind Radioactive generators, in that one reaction triggers another, and without control, the reaction would turn itself into a bomb. Furthermore, the verbal/emotional explosion of the team-mates working with Leeroy reflects the importance of team work - with only one member not working properly, the whole team is demolished.
At least I got chicken.

Fantastic!
For Russell: Using the links at the top of the page might be the best for finding stuff quickly. However, there are some other interesting blog posts scattered through my pages if you have the time.

Draft Captures
Jobs office.. Needs to be lit better and movers need to be added so as to not get stuck on one level.
Versace's office - Liking the lighting on the bottom level.. created accidently due to top light in jobs space (i think). Tentacles working the way i want! good!
Relative positioning. If space is to be hanging from bridge, will have to move jobs office down
Mashup (v2)
Under Donatella Versace's watch the new 3G iPhone is now the richest self-made woman in the world. She now oversees the production of a dozen collections each year thus potentially toppling one of the seminal technology and design companies of the world and creating a massive vacuum, which contains 15 billionaires. The future of Apple, judging upcoming designer talent since they were listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, has confirmed cult status. Due to the fact that we as a culture inherently care about the visionaries and the artists and the thinkers together, Apple and the iPhone, pioneered the use of celebrities in advertising brands with a fortune of $3.4bn, which grew at 11.3% in the second quarter of 2006.
Not a particularly joyful thing to ponder, a loyal following called for greater measures to tackle the wealth gap. In 2008 the true worth of any man is measured only as market forces exert a greater control over the economy. Rampant economy has been successful for more than a decade so the story is far less about the man himself and far more about just how big of a hit as a major player in the fashion stakes Chinese president Hu Jintao is. And most importantly, in the grand scheme, the most part of his fortune, ahead of US TV celebrity Oprah Winfrey and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, has moved beyond clothing to include fashion, accessories, home furnishings, and hotels into a complete lifestyle brand. Does it really even matter?

2 powerful people and a peaceful picnic
Jobs Office
Inspired by simple harmonic colours and their interplay with white - Steve Jobs office is a geometric formation of smoothed forms.

Meeting Space
The meeting space is an equalised, harmonic place - accompanied by soothing music and slow movement. The recurring motif of the circle reinforces the idea of the equalisation of power.
Top Down.
From the support structure. These forms are attached to the interior of the bridge, using compression to keep a bar, which suspends the meeting space via chains, in the air.
Versace's Office
The cone - a male representation of power. Ironic perhaps, that it should be used as the shape of an office dominated by a woman. The symbol represents the shifting power values - a womans dominance of power, regardless of her gender. The twisting tentacles surrounding the office imply the constantly changing nature of the fashion industry - where Versace holds her power
