Back at the show, and
today the floor opened. |

| Do you think this is supposed to be here? |  |
| Lenticular 3D monitors, they are kewl and they are real. But they are expensive. |  |
| Spinning 3d displays have moved from prototype to reality, still need some work but in a few years they will be a functional reality. |   |
| Nice company, good compression, nice 3d objects, I hope they can deliver. |  |
| Henson's crew was there animating virtual puppets. It was a real WOW! |   |
| This is the voice (and hands) of Gonzo in action! |   |
| This lady scared the CRAP out of me when I was accidentally impolite. She was working a booth and say "Hi, how ya doing?" I said "So what do you have here?" and she snapped "FINE AND HOW ARE YOU." Anyways after I apologized I took her picture and she wanted me in one too. I of course subscribed to the magazine (yeah right). |   |
| Robotics seems to be really something to try, the equipment is cheap and the programming easier. |  |
| Activeworlds being demo's on a very nice display. |  |
| Booth babes, no joke they exist just to get your attention, and they do. |  |
| The 3d printers grow up, in color now and using plaster so they come out even harder. |  |
| The infamous Richard Edwards, got him in 97,98,99, and now 2001! |  |
| Thank goodness for the massage people! $1/minute but worth it! |  |
| The ducks of the Venice canals. They quacked, it was kewl. |    |
| Sunset on Venice beach. |  |
| Me on my roller shoes on the Venice beach bike path. Notice I am not moving which is why I am still standing! |  |
| We went to a BIG Newtek/Foundation/AMD/Dave School party and the Dave school had a big orange school bus. |  |
| And speaking of the Dave school, some Dave school instructors. |  |
| Amazingly enough the band at the party was the one and only DREAD ZEPPELIN. They only do Elvis or Led Zeppelin songs but in the other ones style. They rocked!!! |      |

| One of those big Batman type lights telling us where the party was! |  |
