Songbird ReMix Update is here!

After a year of hot air from me, SBRM3 is finally here.  Reset your Songbird ReMix or Songbird ReMix Upgrade download at DAZ3D. 

Songbird ReMix3 includes a new character, the Bewick's Wren.  It will work with existing libraries, although it will need some tweeking to unlock the new features on those libraries. Most of the changes are simply apply the existing bird textures to the new materials.

 To find out how to do that consult the SBRM3 Manual.  Ken will be updating all the libraries for SBRM3 throughout the rest of the year (for those uncomfortable with doing it themselves).  The Gamebirds volume will be the first one to be updated.

Ken inducted into the TI-99 Hall of Fame

Long before DAZ, poser and bird models Ken was a pioneer of the home computer world starting on a TI-99/4a computer just out of high school. A decade later he was owner of one of the top TI-99/4a  software companies, Notung Software.  In February, the TI-99 HOF committee decided Ken's achievements were worthy of the Hall of Fame.

Real Birds: Cornell releases "2010 State of the Birds"

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today released the 2010 State of the Birds report, the first assessment of the vulnerability of our nation’s birds to climate change. The analysis of nearly 800 bird species shows that climate change is predicted to disrupt birds in every habitat, with seabirds and Hawaiian birds among the most vulnerable.

“Birds are excellent indicators of the health of our environment, and right now they are telling us an important story about climate change,” said Dr. Kenneth Rosenberg, director of Conservation Science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “Many species of conservation concern will face heightened threats, giving us an increased sense of urgency to protect and conserve vital bird habitat.”

 The report highlights conservation initiatives and partnerships needed to advance conservation efforts, and discusses how climate change affects birds in every habitat, based on an analysis by a team of scientists from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Audubon, The Nature Conservancy, American Bird Conservancy, and others.
