Bhikku, part red wolf
Saturday was another day for DogShotzz. I really need a trailer with a cyclorama on it. Maybe there's a market for one if I build it. The dogs were great, operator error is a different matter. If it were that simple ... [fill in the blank]. Just call it another learning experience, and thanks to everyone who brought the dogs (and Kennedy the baby) over for me to practice on.
My SIGGRAPH Teapot Exhibition entry, Tempest (inquiry)
I've explained in a far away place and time "Why the teapot?" but the call to enter my own version to the 30th anniversary celebration of the Teapot in SIGGRAPH's annual meeting this year appealed for many reasons. Not the least of which is ego, the chance to put my work in the highly competitive science meeting that is gold standard for the people I've been working for the last five years.
We should be in Turin for the party
R and I promised ourselves we'd be in Torino for the 2006 Olympics, but, as with so many good ideas, it didn't pan out. The flame is lit in SLC until 11 pm tonight, at a cost of $12K, they say. Plaza was thick with photogs, and the full moon rising. The full moon, BTW, caps off the Chinese new year celebrations to usher in the year of the dog.
Memories of 2002: it was fun to see speedskating for the first time, and the women's hockey match, to have my Mom come for a visit, and to see the Chihuly exhibit. The torch passed within a 1/2 block of our house, working at the U was a daily comedy as to which roads would be blocked off. And by far, the best fireworks ever surrounded the city on closing night. A real ring of fire. Not even being in Torino could top that.
