Ray Tracing

A computer graphics rendering technique that simulates real-world lighting by simulating light rays being emitted. The rendering starts from the camera and then outward. The result is an image with real-world lighting. This method takes a lot of processing power. It can take a long time to render a single frame on low to mid-end computers.

Ever since NVIDIA released their RTX GPUs, real-time ray tracing is possible now. This caused ray tracing to increase in popularity and is now used in some video games such as Minecraft and Quake II RTX. Due to ray tracing requiring a lot of power, this is only available for high-end GPUs (high-end GeForce or 20 series).

Ray tracing has all of the features in modern game graphics but has much more accurate and real-world like lighting:
Ambient occlusion
Godrays
High quality reflections (phong falls under this too)
High quality shadows
Soft shadows

This game looks really good with ray tracing.
I used ray tracing to render my film.

Sound-Tracking

Sound-tracking is the effect that happens when your doing something fun or worth remembering, and you have great music in the background. When you hear that music again it takes you back to where you were having fun. When you do this on purpose your creating a sound track, or the act of Sound-tracking.

On a road trip with a good friend, you pop in a CD with music you both like, and both of you are grooving to the music. Later you hear that CD again and it takes you back to that cool moment in time where you were.

Trashing

The environmentally-friendly enterpreneurial endeavor of picking up household crap others have hauled to the curb such as old TV's, sofas, tables, chairs, appliances, dressers, bookcases, floor lamps and mattresses and selling them in the trasher's front yard, thereby recycling for profit.

Q: "I heard you got laid off last year. That really sucks. What are you going to do?"
A: "My unemployment ran out and nobody's hiring. I'm trashing now. I'm my own boss, and as long as I call it a yard sale the zoning board doesn't bother me."

Teaching a pig to sing

A quote from Robert Heinlein: Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Usually applied to someone that has a character flaw or annoying habit they will never change because they simply aren't able to.

A person with bad hygiene - you tell them they stink but they don't really care.
"Getting you to clean your room is like teaching a pig to sing; it's a waste of my time and all it does is annoy you."
