DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 


I typed out a bunch of scene code, rendered the frames, and slapped them
together with an MPEG compiler, just like I always do.

All of the models used in this entry are my own work.  The Tux picture is by
Larry Ewing
(lewing@isc.tamu.edu).  He has granted permission to incorporate the image into
other works.

This was the first round using my new Athlon machine.  Test rendering went much
more quickly,
and I was able to apply motion blur to many of the scenes.
