Oh dear!, after seeing the Yearbook I'm really worried about my photo now, The JPG has confirmed my fears about the Yost group, as I thought they really are space aliens, Jack Powell must have huge brian power, perhaps he is like a Talosian from Star Trek, and Mr Yost seems to be shifting dimensions like a rabid Cutholian creation, (or he just had some bad seafood and was moving quick when the photo was taken). Yet again still no pictures of Hudson and Silva, are they earthly beings or kindly passing star travelers that felt sorry that most of us could not afford SGI? As for the rest, to smile or not, this seems a big question in these photo's. So I have decided, to make a CV photo, a: get false beard b: get some glasses c: grin not smile d: Fold my arms (this looks cool) e: under no conditions put a rubber duck in the still f: to look very "Academic" get someone to draw loads of maths on a chalk board behind me, and stand in front of it. Thats it, thats the photo! P.S. what does AIA stand for, Autodesk Ipas Assistance, Always In Ammedia? Greg was 🙂 now 8-)#

>> e: under no conditions put a rubber duck in the still << Awwwww, c'mon. David's duck is cute! Not as cute as the kitty cat, but can you bring the cat into the tub to sing to?

Paul, >> but can you bring the cat into the tub to sing to? << sure! Actually, I bring my cat into the tub and she sings to me <g>. She wasn't available for photography in my year book photo, however, since I was in Barcelona and Beatrix stayed in LA. Glad to see the year book finally come out, but disappointed by the few people who contributed, especially the lack of females. I could easily get a photo of Michele Bousquet (sometime forumite) because I have a few myself of her in her natural state OR I could grab some video from her new video. I don't like her quite as much with her "corporate" makeover, it's just not her. We could also have got Ana Gervas since she uploaded an image some time back.

>> Glad to see the year book finally come out, but disappointed by the few people >> who contributed, especially the lack of females. Yup. People can still send their images to James Coulter (73670,677) to get onto page two. C'mon folks! send 'em in. Part of the idea was so that we could associate a face with the name here on AMMEDIA, the other so we'd recognize each other at SIGGRAPH! Jonas? David G.? Ted B.? Heck, Laurie sent a photo, and she just arrived! Paul S.

<Heck, Laurie sent a photo, and she just arrived!> Well, yeah, but look what happened! Since I sent it, no one wants to talk to me and (more disappointingly) NO MARRIAGE PROPOSALS! Was it that scary a photo? Or shouldn't chicks drink beer? Or what? Or should I have posed with clothes on, not nude? That'll get 'em scurrying to have a look, I'll bet! Laurie

>> That'll get 'em scurrying to have a look, I'll bet! << <G> Hey, 17 people have downloaded it in less than two days! Compare that to the 84 that have downloaded the first ASOFT/AMMEDIA yearbook page in Index and Info in six months! Let's see, at that rate… How come we haven't had 84 people send James their digital likeness? Paul S.

> How come we haven't had 84 people send James their digital likeness? < Paul / All: I think I have about six or seven people for page two (out of fifteen spaces total) and a correction or two on page one. I've had a small influx of images in the last week, so let's keep 'em coming. I'll hold off on the upload for page two for a few more days for anyone who wants in before Siggraph. Also, I'll be on safari with my 35mm camera in an attempt to capture some suspiciously absent mugs. If you happen to catch me loitering around the Adesk booth or at the ASOFT party, I'll be glad to snap a mug of you for inclusion. BTW, if anyone can point out some uploaded mugs in the Libs here, I'll be glad to include them. — James E. Coulter — Choreo Motion —

Could SIGGraph be a Dr Who convention this year, more mutants than humans? At least I 10'000 miles away! Greg W'

> more mutants than humans? < Interesting choice of words! Technically, all living beings are mutants except for a few strains of unchanging virii. With that in mind, knowing that we, here on the forum, consider non-3DSer's to be non-mutants, I'm really glad to be a mutant!! Siggraph cannot be described. It can only be experienced. — James — Choreo Motion —

Hi Laurie, No marriage proposals . . . ? I took a peek at your photo (Okay, it was more of a gawk.) Great profile, great lips, lovely sternocleidomastoid muscle, nice hair, so-so sunglasses. I _did_ immediately consider asking for your hand in matrimony but I declined to do so _only_ for the following reasons: 1. I don't want to live in New Zealand (I'm not a big beer drinker and I don't care for mutton.) 2. I don't know how to operate a sailboat. 3. You're too young for me. 4. I'm too old for you. 5. I didn't want to make a fool of myself. 6. My wife wouldn't let me. To tell the truth, I was surprised to find that a woman who writes so well and so wittily and who is interested in 3ds is also so pretty! Alec Jason P.S. We can't go on meeting like this.

Yo Alec, <I took a peek at your photo …so-so sunglasses.> Hey, don't dis the sunglasses, okay? Cost me 5 bucks. Actually, I'm considering proposing to Ken Goldstein of Computer Aided Technologies in Hawaii. I'm not goldbricking or anything, but the thought of playing with the computer power he has there… well, it'd turn any woman's head. And I'm sure his wife wouldn't mind. And seeing as how you listed your own reasons for not proposing so concisely, I guess yer off the hook. My regards to your wife! <I was surprised to find that a woman who writes so well…> Gosh [blush] thank you! I'm up to two fingered typing now. Lovely to meet you. Laurie

Probably the first non-mutant though, I keep trying to take that photo but I don't seem to come out in Polriod with no lights on 🙂 Greg W'

Greg: >> what does AIA stand for, Autodesk Ipas Assistance, Always In Ammedia? And many others, not always as flattering! Sometimes it even stands for American Institute of Architects! :^) Greg Pyros
