Hannah, another bound for the Bay Area, sitting on my bed. Note the familiar sarong on the wall. That thing has 1001 uses. - IMG 3061
Jeff next to more tasty Macness - IMG 3060
Mmm... G5. This is as close as I'll get to one for a long while. - IMG 3059
So many Macs... say what you will about market share, graphics folk are stuck like glue to Apple. - 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 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 3055
But they were upstaged by ATI, who has just integrated their fancy new Radeons into the pro-graphics card line "FireGL" - IMG 3054
Nvidia was hawking there quadro cards. - 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). - P7230005
P7230005 - P7230004
P7230004 - P7230003
Now, some actual cactus pictures. Boring, but compulsory. - 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. - 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. - IMG 3043
My civic becomes a surrogate tent. - STA 2977
Careful viewers will notice that the moon has been meticulously added with Photoshop. You can't trust anyone these days. - IMG 2972
Obligatory sunset shot. Careful viewers will notice that the sun has been meticulously removed with Photoshop. You can't trust anyone these days. - IMG 2971
So we're not the greatest outdoor cooks. Just because our charcoal isn't hot can't stop us! Hyperventilating and passing out to keep the fire oxygenated was well worth it for mediocre steak and slightly-charred carrots. - IMG 2969
Ug with stick tend fire. Woman prepare meet. - IMG 2968
There in the middle you can see a windy trail that we took down to the floor of the canyon, to get a better sense of the size of the place. Oh, wait. No. We didn't go down there because it was really fucking hot. That's right. - IMG 2967
Again. Flashbacks to day 1. - IMG 2966
It's cool because there's a tree. - IMG 2950
Who are these people and why are they in half the pictures? - IMG 2949
It's really these things that remind my that I'm part of a world community, part of a "global village," if you will. - IMG 2948
I mean, you've got two words, and they are from *totally different languages* but they sound similar, and they have similar meanings! WOW! - IMG 2947
Did I mention Grand? In spanish grande means big. Aren't the similarities between the languages fascinating? - IMG 2946
Look! A canyon! It's grand! - IMG 2945
To get from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon, you drive through a very unlikely coniferous forest (Kaibab Natl Forest). - P6110015
Although this picture doesn't do a very good job of capturing it, there was a gasoline distribution strike going on most of the time I was in Ecuador, creating lines for gas over a mile long at every gas station in the city. Whether the lines were actually caused by a shortage or just a fear of a shortage, we were never able to tell. - P6110014
Jeff was delighted by this sign at the Jardin mall. I'll leave the translation as an exercise for the reader.
