An Open Letter to NYC

Here is another bi-monthly post. :) Everything has still been going well here. I got to go to the Siggraph conference this year, which I always find interesting. I feel like I've learned a lot about computer animation over the past few years, but the classes that are taught at Siggraph are always a humbling experience for me. I feel like I understand more about the things that are taught at the classes, but they always do show me that I still have a ways to go in some areas. I always learn more by going, which is good. Overall, it was a great time.

Everything else is going well. This summer has been a lot of fun. I got to go to Disneyland last week with my girlfriend, which was a great time. The California Screaming ride is one of the most fun rollercoasters that I've riden in a long time also.

I saw World Trade Center last week too, which I thought was well done. I was a little bit afraid that Oliver Stone would make it into a conspiracy movie, but it was more about the lives of two of the police officers that were working at the tower when it collapsed. It was an intense movie, but it ended up being mostly about the heroic effort of the people doing search and rescue than anything else.

That's been the major news here.
