Here we are back at the show, and today the floor opened.

—

Do you think this is supposed to be here?

—

Lenticular 3D monitors, they are kewl and they are real. But they are expensive.

—

Spinning 3d displays have moved from prototype to reality, still need some work but in a few years they will be a functional reality.

—

Nice company, good compression, nice 3d objects, I hope they can deliver.

—

Henson’s crew was there animating virtual puppets. It was a real WOW!

—

This is the voice (and hands) of Gonzo in action!

—

This lady scared the CRAP out of me when I was accidentally impolite. She was working a booth and say “Hi, how ya doing?” I said “So what do you have here?” and she snapped “FINE AND HOW ARE YOU.” Anyways after I apologized I took her picture and she wanted me in one too. I of course subscribed to the magazine (yeah right).

—

Robotics seems to be really something to try, the equipment is cheap and the programming easier.

—

Activeworlds being demo’s on a very nice display.

—

Booth babes, no joke they exist just to get your attention, and they do.

—

The 3d printers grow up, in color now and using plaster so they come out even harder.

—

The infamous Richard Edwards, got him in 97,98,99, and now 2001!

—

Thank goodness for the massage people! $1/minute but worth it!

—

The ducks of the Venice canals. They quacked, it was kewl.

—

Sunset on Venice beach.

—

Me on my roller shoes on the Venice beach bike path. Notice I am not moving which is why I am still standing!

—

We went to a BIG Newtek/Foundation/AMD/Dave School party and the Dave school had a big orange school bus.

—

And speaking of the Dave school, some Dave school instructors.

—

Amazingly enough the band at the party was the one and only DREAD ZEPPELIN. They only do Elvis or Led Zeppelin songs but in the other ones style. They rocked!!!
