Updates

Outside No Comments

Oh man, NJ is getting so boring…no updates! But that’s ok, cause when the updates start again, they will be GOOD! (I promised…last time i promised was when i changed the site designed and released like…10 tutorials or so..in the same week). In a side note, I have been working for a while with Matthew Bettiol, and now he created a very cool Call Of Duty HD Gameplay channel, so if you guys are into FPS or shooting games like that, you should totally check it out.

Rafael’s Crazy Ideas

Outside 1 Comment

Hi everyone,

As you know, this summer is being crazy for me and the site is not getting many updates recently. However, I was reflecting these days about the site and the new direction that I should take. As you know, every couple of months I kind of twist it around a little bit: In April 2009 it was just a small blog with tutorials, in the summer it became an actual site with cinema 4d tutorials and some music beats…in December I changed the design to a more modern way and also started Vlogging for a while…couple of months ago we added the music database and now…now what?

Well, since the conception of the site, the idea was to keep the site very opened to all fields of cool virtual stuff. Every single new direction I take with NJ aims to include a new area, a new field, a new project…but at the same time, I am no master in all the fields. It is very hard to keep the site up by myself, getting no income from it (I hate the concept of donations and there is really nothing to sell) and keep getting ideas for tutorials…But I kept going up to these days. Anyways, the point is that I want not only to re-design, but also to re-engineer and re-conceptualize the site into something that is much larger. And obviously, I will need help.

As of right now, all I want to say is that this summer there won’t be many updates, but I will certainly be making contacts and deeply studying the new horizon that I want to bring to NJ. It will be cool, I guarantee…but it will also be hard, and this is why I will need help. Anyways, I realize not a lot of people check the blog in here, but for those that do, try to get more involved…bring people to NJ and be a leader. Leadership will be a key thing I will be looking forward when the recruiting process begins…(mystery tone).

NEW Wallpaper

Music No Comments

This is one interesting wallpaper I made with the theme “Code Is Poetry”. It captures a very interesting ambiguity between a nostalgic “childhood” style and at the same time a more “matrix traditional coding” design. Hope you guys like it.
