Today I'm going to go see a new 3D stereo imaging technique by Kodak -- high resolution stereo images without special glasses or filters, but with, ahem, floating balls of light which yield a wide field of view. Hmm.

I'll also see a demo from @Last Software of SketchUp 4 Film & Stage. Here's a nice quicktime video of what SketchUp is all about..

It's really hard not to be overwhelmed by the sheer mass of things going on here. I'm finding that I could shop presentations forever, but what really works is for me to commit to being in a particular presentation for a natural chunk of time, like I'll satay up until a break. This keeps me from trying to choose where to be when I'm already somewhere. As Ken Kesey used to say, you're either off the bus or on the bus.

That said... I wonder if there will be good shwag at the trade show that disappears early.

I'm currently in An Interactive Introduction to OpenGL Programming, getting comfortable with what OpenGL code looks like. This is probably the most actually educational and useful course I've ever attended.
