Kathy: Last year was my first trip to SIGGRAPH and I would like to offer an idea for the Autodesk sponsored party coming up this year. Although I had spent the year communicating with many of the eventual partygoers here on ASOFT/AMMEDIA I did not have a clue as to what anyone looked like. At the party last year there were no "Hello, My Name Is" badges or other name tags offered at the party's entrance. I would suggest either handing out tags or just encouraging people to wear their SIGGRAPH badges. This will make it easier for me and others to put a face to a name/CIS address. Thanks in advance for what will undoubtedly be a great time. – Bob Ritger

Bill, I can't be there, but could you send me a piece of cake? Hey, wait a minute! Blow up my picture, sit it in a chair in the corner, and folk can interact with it by putting post it notes or something, and send it back to me at the end! A winner! Laurie

>> Hello, My Name Is << Better yet, how about badges with our pictures! -Ted Boardman !^NavFont01F000DMGJHGXMGZHG3B04A9

<< Better yet, how about badges with our pictures! >> Ted, Why would we need to a photo on our badges since we will be wearing them and our real, analog faces will be in close proximity to the badge? Alec Jason

I think we should take it one step further and everyone strap on a video camera aimed at their faces, then route the signal to a palmtop TV that we wear on our chest with our name written below it. That would be much better, since stills generally don't do a person justice <BG>. -Tyler Colwell

<< . . . everyone strap a video camera aimed at their faces the route the signal . . . >> Great idea, Tyler! Sounds like an example of one of the noble attempts I regularly make to "improve life through technology" by spending an hour and a half on the computer to accomplish a simple, five-minute task my daughter (who has lost all interest after the first 25 minutes) initially wanted to do with a few crayons and a piece of paper. See ya, Alec Jason

Dear Tyler: You know, that is a great idea! I've never liked those sticky pieces of paper posted onto my suit jacket.

Because Ted probably wants a different picture on his badge. This way he can attend as an imposter. GR&D.

<< This way he can attend as an imposter >> Ahhhh . . . I understand. Knowing Ted, an imposter (any imposter) would be an improvement! Alec Jason
