This is the blog of John Curtis (aka vrtual).  A software developer at Weta Digital, father of 3, husband of 1.

I finally decided to start a blog to fill certain vaguely interesting desires:

1.  A collection of ultra-basic tutorials

Short (< 2 mins) video tutorials designed to show my parents how to do basic tasks on a computer.

2.   Downloadable software for young kids.

In my “spare time” I love to write software for my toddlers (and older as they grow up).  I’ll also stick some more commercial stuff I’ve written here too.

3.  A place to put all my geeky links.

Things I discovered, thought were phenomenally useful, and then forgot how I did them or where I found them.

4.  A place to rant

Either about computers, people, music or food.
