Monday 3:30pm – Tech Tools for Film Artists

19-Mar-07

Almost interesting.  Sorry, but I only attended because there wasn’t much else happening and the 25 minutes sessions were proving to be all fluff. There was a viewing of some videos, flash animations, and samples of rendering tools.  Most of it I’d already seen and some of it was downright old news. The only thing [...]

Monday 2pm – Growth of Microformats

19-Mar-07

An interesting talk about something I didn’t understand because it’s just too simple.  I’ve always wondered: “Isn’t this just a pile of attributes on html elements?” and yes, that’s all it is.  There’s nothing to understand, it’s that easy.

I’ll [...]

Sunday 5pm – Sex and Computational Technology

17-Mar-07

I went to this session solely because it had the word “teledildonics” in the description. Maybe also a little because the rest of the sessions in that time slot sounded very boring by contrast. There really isn’t a lot to say here other that it was interesting. Kyle showed off some interesting toys and Violet [...]
