News: Project Destiny Studios is on the Waiting List for the Further Confusion 2008 Art Show

Project Destiny Studios™ is currently on the waiting list for the Further Confusion 2008 furry convention art show. This means that as of this moment Daniel Keller is unable to send in any artwork to the art show because there is no longer any display space available. While things are looking pretty grim that Project Destiny Studios will be able to get into the show, there is always a small chance that enough other artists will cancel their reserved space, which would allow Daniel Keller to get his own artwork in. New announcements will be made here on this news feed if things change, so please keep checking back here for new updates. Daniel Keller was extremely excited about being able to participate in this art show, especially because of its very cool "Far East" theme, so hopefully he will still get a chance to be able to send his artwork in so that the convention attendees can see all of the great new artwork that he created since the convention last year.

News: Daniel Keller of Project Destiny Studios has Become an Advanced-Level SKYWARN Severe Weather Spotter!

Last weekend Daniel Keller, the founder of Project Destiny Studios™, was certified by the National Weather Service as an Advanced-Level SKYWARN severe weather spotter. SKYWARN is a program that was started by the National Weather Service in the 1970's to train local volunteers to be able to make accurate observations of certain weather phenomenons such as wind gusts, hail size, rainfall amounts, and cloud formations that could indicate developing dangerous weather or tornados. These storm spotter volunteers then report their observations to the National Weather Service via telephone, the Internet, or Amateur Radio. This service is important because it allows meteorologists to have trained spotters in the field that can report back visual observations of cloud formations that look suspicious on Doppler RADAR. Today's Doppler RADAR technology is not fullproof at detecting when tornados are occuring or about to occur, so it is often up to SKYWARN spotters to report these conditions to the National Weather Service so that they can sound the warning sirens and inform people to take cover. To find out more about SKYWARN you can visit the official SKYWARN website at www.skywarn.org.

News: The Secret Message on Daniel Keller's Further Confusion 2007 Convention Badges is Revealed

Artwork by Daniel Keller of Project Destiny Studios™ was featured as one of the official designs of the Further Confusion convention's attendee badges this year! Since the convention had a James Bond spy theme this year, Daniel Keller hid a secret message on the badge that was enciphered with the German Kriegsmarine M3 Enigma code machine. He then gave the instructions on how to decipher the secret message in one of the convention's "Furly" newsletters. To all of those who attempted to decipher the secret message based on the instructions given in the newsletter, here is what should have been revealed:

The Secret Message Decoded:

1. Using a M3 Enigma machine simulator with the correct settings, the enciphered text "UAYJ WWCT AMAK HQZA KAET NJXP FNYC NHAF GGM" should have been deciphered by the machine as "FURT HERC ONFU SION WPPU FURY OURE YESO NLY"
2. Next you need to correct the spacing of the 4-letter groups so that they create words. With the spacing corrected, the text becomes "FURTHER CONFUSION WPPU FOR YOUR EYES ONLY"
3. The 4-letter group "WPPU" is actually a 4-digit number, which is why it still looks like garbled text after being deciphered on the Enigma machine. On a German M3 Enigma machine numbers are converted into letters as follows: 0=P, 1=Q, 2=W, 3=E, 4=R, 5=T, 6=Z, 7=U, 8=I, and 9=O. Therefore, the 4-letter group "WPPU" actually means the number "2007"
4. The completely deciphered message should now read: "FURTHER CONFUSION 2007 FOR YOUR EYES ONLY"
5. Congratulations if you were able to decipher the message correctly! You would make the World War II codebreakers at Bletchley Park proud!

Hopefully no one is disappointed that all that the secret message on the convention badge contained was the Further Confusion convention's name, year, and slogan. When I originally decided to place an enchiphered message into the background of the badge I was doing it for appearance only, and never actually intended to have people try to decipher it. As corny as using the convention's title and slogan may be, at least the secret message didn't turn out to read, "Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine!" Besides, I like to think that half of the fun of any endeavor is the process of finding the solution, so hopefully you enjoyed learning how the Enigma machine worked and how to use it! Thanks for participating!

News: Artwork by Daniel Keller is Going to be Published in the 2007 Further Confusion Convention Book!

An illustration made by Daniel Keller of Project Destiny Studios™ will be appearing in this year's Further Confusion furry convention program book! The convention has a "James Bond" spy theme this year, so to go along with the spirit of the theme Daniel Keller drew a furry parody drawing one of American popular culture's very first spys and superheros, the mystrious "Shadow!" While not exactly James Bond related, The Shadow was quite the spy being able to cloud mens' minds with the power of mass-hypnosis so that they couldn't see him. He used this amazing power of invisibility to bring down organized crime, save kidnap victims, stop terrorist attacks, and protect the innocent, and often sent criminals to the "death house," where they would "get what was coming to them, every single volt!"

The drawing was made to parody the The Shadow pulp novel covers of the late 1930's and 1940's, and the title has been given a very funny furry-related name, "The Scritch of Death!" In the furry fandom "scritching" is what you do when you lightly run your fingers through the fur of someone's fursuit costume, so the title would literally mean "The Scratch of Death" to those outside of the fandom. Be sure to check out this drawing on page 11 of the Furry Confusion convention program book if you are attending, and always remember, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" Further Confusion is a furry convention that is taking place from January 18-22 at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California.

News: Project Destiny Studios™ Artwork to be Featured on Further Confusion 2007's Convention Badges!

Further Confusion, the largest furry convention on the U.S. West Coast, will be featuring artwork by Project Destiny Studios™ artist Daniel Keller on their convention badges this year! Daniel Keller's artwork was chosen as one of the winners of Further Confusion's annual badge design contest this year, and as a result attendees at Further Confusion can choose to have Daniel Keller's artwork placed on their convention badge! The convention was having a James Bond theme this year called "Fur Your Eyes Only," and to go along with that theme Daniel Keller designed a badge with a sexy femme cheetah spy wearing a dark hat and trenchcoat and carrying a secret message from the OSS, the World War II predacessor of the CIA. In the background of the drawing are 4-letter groups of seemingly random letters, however these letters are not random at all-- they are actually a real coded message! The message was encoded with a World War II German Navy (a.k.a. "Kriegsmarine") M3 Enigma code machine, so if you have a German M3 Enigma machine simulator on your computer you can decode this message yourself! Details about how to decode the secret message are provided below. Further Confusion is a furry convention that is taking place from January 18-22 at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California.

To Decode the Badge's Secret Message:

1. Download an M3 Enigma machine simulator for your computer, such as the The M3 Enigma Simulator v.1.0.1 for Windows by Geoff Sullivan.
2. Set the machine to use the "B" reflector
3. Set the machine to use the following code wheels (from left to right): III, II, I
4. Set the code wheels (from left to right) to the letters F, C, and U
5. Set the Steckerverbindungen to have the connections "FC" and "PU."
6. The entire coded message hidden in the background of the badge is "UAYJ WWCT AMAK HQZA KAET NJXP FNYC NHAF GGM" Type those letters in that order on the M3 Enigma Machine's keyboard, and the hidden message should be revealed!
7. If you get any short grouping of letters that decode into what looks to be gibberish, what you are looking at may be the digits of a number that was substituted by letters. On an Enigma Machine 0=P, 1=Q, 2=W, 3=E, 4=R, 5=T, 6=Z, 7=U, 8=I, and 9=O.
8. If any of you successfully decode the message, feel free to e-mail me to let m know what it says, and I will tell you if you got the message correct or not!
9. This exercise is meant to be fun, so be sure to enjoy yourself while you take the time to learn how the German M3 Enigma code machine works!

Foxee.Net - Foxee™ has her own Article on WikiFur!

An article about Foxee™ the arctic blue fox is now available for anyone to read here on WikiFur, a freely editable encyclopedia for the furry community. The article was written by Foxee's creator, Daniel Keller, and contains a detailed history about how Foxee as a character was originally created and how she has changed over the years. In addition, the article discusses all of the comic strips that Foxee has appeared in, and talks about how Foxee has been developed into a Microsoft Agent character and soon will become an animatronic robot. While this is by far the most comprehensive WikiFur article about Foxee ever written, it is by no means the first. Unbeknownst to Foxee's creator, as far back as October 2005 several of Foxee's fans on the Internet had already started a WikiFur entry about Foxee and had been maintaining it on their own. Flattered by the discovery that Foxee had been given her own article on WikiFur, Daniel Keller decided to re-write and greatly expand it so that the readers of WikiFur could have all of the information that they have ever wanted to know and probably then some about his beloved blue fox character. If you ever had any interest in learing a general history about Foxee and where she got her start as a cartoon character be sure to check this article out!

News: Daniel Keller of Project Destiny Studios™ has Become a SKYWARN Weather Spotter!

Daniel Keller, the founder of Project Destiny Studios™, has recently been certified by the National Weather Service as a SKYWARN Storm Spotter. SKYWARN is a program that was started by the National Weather Service in the 1970's to train local volunteers to be able to make accurate observations of certain weather phenomenons such as wind gusts, hail size, rainfall amounts, and cloud formations that could indicate developing dangerous weather or tornados. These storm spotter volunteers then report their observations to the National Weather Service via telephone, the Internet, or Amateur Radio. This service is important because it allows meteorologists to have trained spotters in the field that can report back visual observations of cloud formations that look suspicious on Doppler RADAR. In addition, SKYWARN storm spotters help give the National Weather Service the information that it needs to better be able to issue timely severe storm and tornado warnings to protect people's lives and property. You can find out more about SKYWARN from the National Weather Service or the official SKYWARN website at www.skywarn.org.
