I attended a user group meeting today called Michigan Interactive Designers Meeting. It was a blast. I have been working with Blend to use in a game I am making and ran into some problems, so I was hoping for some help. Don Burnett was able to clarify where I was having an issue, so I expect to be able to get this resolved soon. He also offered to look into a simp

I have embarrased my family and for that I am truly sorry. It was not intentional for that to happen. I have deleted this article out of respect for them.

Yes they are a tad bit more expensive than other shoes out there, but Red Wing manufactured work boots are the best IMO!
