Hey guys. Although my life is fairly routine these days (which lowers my motivation to make updates here) I have had an interesting event that I feel is worthy of documentation.
There are a few things that I would like to write up before I forget about them:
Well friends, it has been a long time once again. First off, Willow mentioned that there was no news archive anymore. I hadn’t even noticed. I added a cheap news archive search, but only by date. I would add search by title but it’s rare that titles are relevant, and even more rare that anyone would use it. The link to the news archive is on the right side of the front page before and after the latest news.
There has been a bunch of interesting things happen over the past few months. I really wish I had posted about some of this stuff closer to when it happened so I could remember it better. Oh well, take what you can get.
So the exciting thing that went on this month was that I attended Siggraph 2008 in Los Angeles. For those who do not know, Siggraph means Special Interest Group in Graphics (specifically computer graphics). Although there is an organization called Siggraph, the term is generally used to refer to an annual conference where tons of nerds get together and show off all their cool stuff. The conference has gotten pretty big and now covers a wide variety of topics beyond just computer graphics. You can see research presentations for new technology that you might see in cutting edge games and movie graphics five years from now.
I’ve been trying to stick to a once-a-month update schedule for this page in order to balance out long periods of silence and having enough interesting stuff to say. I kept slacking on September’s update until today when I realized I had to get my stuff in order quick. Tragically, my computer restarted part of the way through typing out my update so in addition to me trying to impatiently reproduce it, I may miss the deadline.
Hi people. I know I’m one day late for my intended monthly milestone, but this delay was intentional and for a very good cause.
