Siggraph is cool. I could spot around Jim Blinn and Michael Cohen. Ravi Ramamoorthi got an award this year.. definitely deserved !
After that there was the papers' presentation.. where presenters got wild and tried to push the envelope of bullshit pseudo-funny comedy.. just be serious and present your paper.. if I want to laugh I will watch a movie or something.
But in the American culture, you have to throw in half-assed jokes for those that like them. Sure enough, there usually is some 40 years old guy in the back that goes "ho ho ho".. bha !

Anyhow.. it's all going well. I met a cool Italian programmer yesterday that told me that he spent most of the day checking out the Japanese girls at the event. eheheh not so many really, but I suspect he meant Asian girls as a whole 8)
That reminded me that I can't wait to go back to Tokyo !!

wooooo
