My Adventure Through Your Eyes

Anyone who follows me on Twitter or has befriended me on Facebook knows that this past week was quite an exciting one for me.  I attended the 2009 SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference in New Orleans.  This marks my third visit to SIGGRAPH, and, once again, I was not disappointed.  The conference itself was chocked full of sights and sounds that dazzled the eyeballs of every geek, and the city of New Orleans showed that it remains a great host for anyone who wishes to visit.

But the one thing I really enjoyed was being able to share my entire experience with all you wonderful people on an almost real-time basis, and then have almost instant feedback and comments on those experiences.  I've been on trips before where I might post an update once a day, or beyond that, not post a single thing until I returned.  This is all well and good, that is, if you can remember every detail of your trip once you did get back.

Seeing as I have a not-so-good memory when it comes to the details, I made the decision early in the planning for this trip that I was going to go completely nuts with my as-it-happens updates.  This gave you all a chance to find out everything I was doing, but even more so, it gave me the chance to take a mental snapshot of what I was experiencing and thinking at that particular moment.

The equipment for this little endeavor was really quite simple, but as a whole, quite extraordinary:  cell phone, point-and-shoot camera, camcorder, laptop, and access to the internet.  I mean, think about it, when most of us were kids on vacation, I highly doubt we had a full TV studio coming along with us.  I just love how far technology has progressed over the last couple decades just to allow someone like to me to be able to photograph, film, edit, update, and broadcast all of this either as it happens or a few hours later from a hotel room!  Incredible.

Here's a few tidbits of the week:

And so I hope you all enjoyed following along with me.  It was quite a trip.  Here's to the next great adventure!
