I've just joined Advogato. I have to admit I'd looked at it before, but wasn't compelled enough to do it. After reading the Salon article I figured it was time to try it out.

SIGGRAPH approaches quickly. I'm running a Linux 3D BOF at the show. (More Info) It looks like we're getting some good participants, but it is always hard to judge. I'm also responsible for a technical sketch at the conference. As long as we get the slides together the talk itself should be easy.

Precision Insight was recently acquired by VA. There hasn't been a lot of transition. We're mostly doing what we've been doing all along. I'd like to see us and myself in particular take a bigger role in the graphics development. I'm just not sure how to do that.

That concludes my first diary entry. I like speaking in public, but that's usually about my work not myself. It feels a little strange speaking out like this, but we'll see what happens.
