Here, I attempt the throw from a lower hand. The flake is just out of frame at the top right. - IMG 3042
The theme for the day: falling at the lip throw. Here in the upper right you can clearly see my goal. It's tricky to hit it just at deadpoint and control it. Next time I will come better prepared, and Mushroom roof will fall. - IMG 3043
My civic becomes a surrogate tent. - P7230001
Here we are at Saguaro NP. In the distance you can see stick-like things that are the actual big-ass cactus from which the park gets its name. - P7230002
yet another shot of the side of bryan's head, which seem to show up in a lot of the album. here, though, the background contains saguaro cacti. - P7230003

A herd of graphics geeks. This picture was taken on Monday, before the exhibition opened, when there were only academic papers and courses going on. So the more "colorful" part of the crowd was not out in force yet. - IMG 3053
Behold! Companies, schwag seekers, job hunters, head hunters, and bored grad students gather at the exhibition, an orgy of big, colorful animated things; mostly cars and planes and breasts (know your audience). - IMG 3054
Nvidia was hawking there quadro cards. - IMG 3055
But they were upstaged by ATI, who has just integrated their fancy new Radeons into the pro-graphics card line "FireGL" - IMG 3056
The motion capture slave. There were several companies showing off their systems for capturing computer animation data from live-action. Each one of these booths had very tired looking dancers demonstrating the systems' efficacy. - IMG 3058
Jet Ski surfboard? This 300cc gasoline motor has been squashed into a board for riding. Why at SIGGRAPH? Your guess is as good as mine. - IMG 3059
So many Macs... say what you will about market share, graphics folk are stuck like glue to Apple. - IMG 3060
Mmm... G5. This is as close as I'll get to one for a long while. - IMG 3061
