A Trip To Ancient Egypt |
| Posted By Karen Moltenbrey| May 09, 2012 |
 |
| One of the items on my "bucket list" is to visit the pyramids in Egypt. Ever since I was in junior high school, I have been fascinated by these great tombs and the associated rituals, antiquities, and mysteries associated with them. How did these ancient people build these enormous structures? How, without modern tools, were they able to design, carve, and construct them with such accuracy? Dassau ... |

| Posted By | March 07, 2012 |
|
| PITTSBURGH - Many of the communication tools of today rely on the function of light or, more specifically, on applying information to a light wave. Up until now, studies on electronic and optical devices with materials that are the foundations of modern electronics-such as radio, TV, and computers-have generally relied on nonlinear optical effects, producing devices whose bandwidth has been limite ... |

| Posted By Karla Monterrosa| August 16, 2011 |
|
| I'm a junior at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where I'm an animation major with a minor in illustration. I love animation and appreciate all its forms; my biggest passion is pre-production work, especially storyboards. Meeting people who share the same passion for their work and knowing that everyone puts so much of themselves into the final product only made my love for all things animat ... |

Comic-Con 2010 |
| Posted By Karen Moltenbrey| August 09, 2010 |
|
| Did Halloween come early this year? No, I had to remind myself. Instead, I was enjoying (read: tolerating) the crowd at my first visit to Comic-Con, the trade show/convention that straddles the line between consumer indulgence and pop culture as it relates to all forms of entertainment. Once upon a time, Comic-Con was an outlet for comic book, sci-fi/fantasy, and film/TV topics. Over the more rece ... |

| Somehow I got the opportunity to volunteer in the Posters section near the beginning of the conference, when the submitters were first checking in their work. This was a great experience for me just for the fact that so many brilliant minds from around the world checked in during my shift. It gave me an opportunity to talk to them and welcome them to the convention. The great part was that everyon ... |

Siggraph 2010 - Blog #1 |
| Posted By Elizabeth Owens| August 02, 2010 |
|
| Even though it was still a bit early, it made more sense to wake up near that time since I had a SV shift at 8:30AM, (unlike the day before when I didn't have to work until 12PM.) My roommate Melissa asked me if I wanted to walk to the Los Angeles convention center early and catch some breakfast at a nearby bakery on the way. I jumped at the opportunity. Soon we left the hotel, and fifteen minutes ... |

| Posted By Karen Moltenbrey| April 07, 2010 |
|
| 18,250. That is the number of attendees at this year’s Game Developers Conference (GDC). A record. Not bad considering the drop in numbers at the other related trade shows during the past 12 months, including SIGGRAPH. Like always, GDC featured many software and hardware vendors showing off their products. I won’t list them here, but you can find the releases in the special News area dedicated to ... |
