    SIGGRAPH’s early registration deadline is June 4th, after that the price goes up $175 or so, depending. News of which made me look around for graphics conference calendars. I didn’t find much – if anyone knows of others, please do let me know. The Upcoming Graphics Conferences page on wikidot lists most of the graphics conferences [...]

  • SIGGRAPH 2010 Course Scheduling

    Updated: 2010-05-20 16:07:17
    One of the challenges of SIGGRAPH is doing it all. My own method is to take a sheet of lined paper (remember that stuff?) and make columns for the days, each line being a half hour. One whole sheet holds it all, vs. me dorking around with my Palm/phone/Touch/whatever, scrolling around to see what’s what. [...]

    Updated: 2010-05-09 17:59:33
    Long-time readers of this blog will be well aware of my position on ACM and Open Access. Although ACM is a non-profit organization which ostensibly has as its only mandate “the advancement of computing as a science and a profession”, the ACM Publications Board has been behaving like a rent-seeking publisher; bullying students working to [...]

  • Questionable Answers

    Updated: 2010-05-08 15:03:09
    So how did you answer the quiz yesterday? To all that commented, thanks, I enjoyed reading your replies. I see these questions as possible differentiators; you might be able to tell something about someone depending on their answers. Just a theory, though, and I’m sure there will be any number of people who will disagree – I’d [...]
