So, I know that people read my site and actually care what my opinion is
about the movies I see, so I have to apologize for going to see lots of
movies that I didn’t bother writing up entries for. There are a lot of good
ones out there these days, including some I’ve worked on, and you’ll [...]

While at Siggraph, one of the interesting personalities I met was Lewis, the
Robotic Photographer, who drove around in little circles until he had just
the shot he wanted, and then snapped off a pic of me looking super cool.

What’s interesting about this robot is that he’s been given certain rules of
composition that he has to work [...]

I got this quote off the WideScreen Museum page, about the history of lenses:
This one has an unusual and regrettable legacy. It should not have been made for countless reasons, specifically, John Wayne was not talented enough to pass himself off as a Mongol, the story line was dopey, and worst of all it is [...]

I -love- warning messages. I suppose this is what happens when you live in a litigious society. Thank god for Canada.

I’m just imagining someone vigorously shaking a DrPepper bottle, unscrewing the bottle, and a shockwave of flavor tearing outwards, flipping cars and knocking down toolsheds.

terrorists headed to Siggraph.

4) I’d write more, but I’m crazy busy. I promise [...]

Yeeeeehaw!
I’ll try to keep you all updated. I’m already privy to a number of news tidbits that I can’t divulge until they’re publicly released… but expect a 10-page rant about how evil a particular company that makes movies about intelligent toys is.

So I did a search in google for my name, and LunarBovine didn’t show up.
Instead, there was a list of links about a mile long of old usenet posts,
softimage forum quotes about the dancing baby animation, credits on the CAP page (which I didn’t
know I had), Forestry Library Sites (My first page for
someone else!), a [...]

The only thing worse than being sick (with the flu!) is watching daytime
television. I’ve got
the morning off, and I figured I’d just crash on the couch in the sunlight
while I recuperated, but I had to turn the TV off. On the 180 channels I get
on digital cable, the only show vaguely entertaining was one where [...]

The guy who wrote the lyrics to Ode to Joy, Beethoven’s 9th symphony, is
named Friedrich Johann Chistoph Von Schiller. That’s two more middle
names than me. -And- it sounds regal as all heck. Jason Leslie Cobill
doesn’t sound quite as formidable. Maybe I’ll legally get my name changed to
something with a little more bearing!

How’s Jason Magnus Octavius [...]
