OK folks, here is Wednesday (ie Day 6). Not a lot of pictures today because I was speaking and had to take care of those duties. I keep seeing Marco and Oliver but we really haven't done the parties this year like we have in previous years. Bad timing I guess. -
Hiram Ash from the Southeast Review -
John Markoff from The New York Times, we have a nice conversation about the nature of the conference. Its amazing how it has changed over the years. -
Jurgen Pfister from Digital Production asked if we could cross link!
Of course.
-
I asked why. He said that in the office they did this to his photo and he wanted to not cause anyone any confusion.
Also note the lack of Emma's finger.
-
His ribbons said paper reviewer and paper presenter.
I asked if this was a conflict of interest.
-
This is Dr. Ramesh Raskar from MERL and he is a ribbon whore. But he wanted me to make sure I knew he wasn't THE ribbon whore just A ribbon whore. He even covered them up (there were a lot and they were all real AND important). -
Lucasfilm playing cards. -
Why do I have no caption? -
I went to speaker prep and used a PC cause you can't trust PowerPoint on a Mac. -
Also stopped by the Student SpaceTime Gallery. - -
Its Joe Roache from Florida A&M who I know from the NMC. -
My name in lights (well my talk's name) -
