Thanks for the blow-by-blow. God, its good to see ya keeping so dang busy. I've always envied the way you seemed to have your hands in everything ( and on more powerful toys than I could access.) < I marked my ten year anniversary at KLCS-TV. > Congratulations Bruce. A noteworthy milestone. There's a lot to be said about longevity. And most of its positive. <g> My question about a SIGGRAPH wrap was really a dig. Cohn and I knew you were MIA at SIGGRAPH. I posted a message on the boards to you anyway, so you were there in spirit. <g> < TVT wouldn't pick up my tab, so I sat it out. > Next time pick up your own tab, tightwad. hehehe Oh, that's right the name of your company is Cheap Computer Graphics. Yes, indeed. The original. "an oxymoron evoking sly grins from producers" Man, they would have bought your report. You ought to be giving guided tours of SIGGRAPH. Charging them new kids on the block for an inside look at where the real show is. Well, I guess you won't miss it next year seeing how it's in your backyard. Speaking of which… I get to play host in '96. I'm already pumped. Or can't you tell. < Cable Music Channel for Ted Turner …. > Well, they can't all smell like roses. < I'm looking to get out, and have had several interviews around town. > Keep pluggin' Bruce. Ya got to keep them creative juices flowing. You ought to start your own thread / column right here in the forum. You'd probably be turning down work left and right. Looking forward to your review on TMORPH3. < I think Brent Malnack looks at that program in this months AV/Video > Ain't he come a long way. <g> His photo alongside his column is a lot more corporate than the punk rocker image he used to portray. But speaking of young and fresh, I'd have to say Brent delivers there. I sent him a "hello" the other day. Re: 3D Studio Rel. 4 < I'll eventually do a review, but not necessarily for TVT. > Well, I caught your Release 3 review. "Where were YOU when the computer/video paradigm shift rocked Hollywood?" I wasn't sleeping, that's for sure. I was checking out your "one month diversion" in the March '94 issue of TV Technology. Decent lead. Not great. Just decent. hehehehehe ;^) Two full pages, and a colorful photo illustration to boot, dedicated to your ususal comprehensive roundup; analytical, mostly objective ( you only mentioned Topas four times! 🙂 ), with succinct recommendations: "Price? Not much. Just buy it and get busy." I'd say you put a smile on more than a few faces and moved a bunch of boxes off the shelf. < I'd like to just do my SGI stuff for TVT > I'd just like to play with your SGI for a while, can I Bruce, huh, can I? < and start a new column on 3DS and IPAS plug-ins elsewhere if possible.> How much you want for that column, Mr. Goren? David Camp, a fellow formite, is starting a newsletter on IPAS, maybe you can get him up and running in grand style. On second thought, he's been talking to Pyros lately and Greg might have messed up his brain. <BG> Just kiddin' Greg. ;^) BG > Your description of my CIS activity is exactly correct, BG > I usually do two sweeps a day for E-mail, and one a week for selective BG > forum traffic. BG > a few weeks before and after a major release like r-4 BG > I sweep ASOFT twice a day on my mail run. BG > This gives me good insight on customer response plus another BG > perspective on spin control outside the corporate tower of P.R. Well, I clocked you on radar. You were going way too fast to catch all of the good stuff. I had to flag you down somehow. I figured a couple of snappy subject headings just might do the trick. And that's why I invite you over for tea in the Take 5 area. Speaking of spin control, have you ever used the ULOG command to see who's been lurking during the past 48 hours. Very interesting types passing through here. I know all about this lurking stuff. Been doing it a while. A lot of fascinating names pass through too! That's how I clocked you. Check it out. Byte by Byte Corporation <—– who's this???? 25-Oct-94 20:04:40 PC Zone <—- In the ASOFT Zone 29-Oct-94 12:44:09 bruce goren <—- traveling near the speed of light 25-Oct-94 20:02:45 Kosar 31-Oct-94 23:59:00 <—– Just kidding, Just kidding. Ed Rochelle <— was doing interesting things with bubbles and 25-Oct-94 19:16:59 Animator Pro up in NY before 3D Studio hit the scene EDGE <—- Neat name The musician? Probably not. 25-Oct-94 16:49:18 Sergio Vanelli <—– Could be a musician/ producer. 25-Oct-94 19:17:18 Brothers Gino and Joe. Jamie Clay [Xdesk] <—- An original! One of the masters. 25-Oct-94 13:08:28 There are a plenty of visitors who frequent the forum on a regular basis, but this one has made me a little curious: Byte by Byte Corporation 29-Oct-94 12:38:57 Byte by Byte Corporation 31-Oct-94 08:04:25 I tell you Bruce, you can spend a fortune having fun like this. But it's a real learning experience. Anyway, I'm going to post a message to Byte and find out what they're doing in this neck of the woods. Look for a thread titled "Hey Mr. Lurker." Let's see if I can draw ol' Scott Peterson out for a chat. < And likewise for the record I agree, the Sysops and everyone else > < do a great job, > All opposed. ( deafening silence ) Then it's unanimous. They deserve a pat on the back for managing so well the mess we make. < What fun are you up to? > Funny you should ask, BG. <—– You know people use your initials alot around here. Or is that Mr. Microsoft they're talking about? Anyway, if it's not painfully obvious, I'm doing exactly that. I'm having fun. And I'm looking for answers in my quest for the riddles of life. And I'm living up to the meaning of the word "animate." On Sundays, I pull a bag over my head and pull for our NFL New Orleans Aints. Sure wish I was in L.A. Better yet. I wish you were here. We'd raise some hell and show them what us old farts can do. Hey wait a minute. I'm starting to sound like you. Quick, which one of us has more hair up top? Aw crud, you win. (:-0 Stay tuned for the rest of the story. Pictures at eleven.
