Star trek II is the definitive st movie, and I'd strongly recommend the director's dvd for its excellent and entertaining commentary. STTTWOK had a role in my life because my first unix book, by kaare christian in 1983, featured the genesis effect graphics on the cover. The g.e. was created by ILM (with the future pixar crew) using a jillion cpu hours of a vax 780 running berkeley unix. That was kind of my computer damascus. It lasted 15 years. -rei On Wed, 5 Dec 2007 1:28 pm, Kyle Cassidy wrote: > so, this is sort of what my life is like .... > > last night i'm watching star trek ii, and thinking "dang, 15 years pass > in the star trek universe, and their technology gets BIGGER and MORE > CLUNKY, and then i started thinking about sophisticated technology, and > remembered that i heard you could build a snoot out of a cerial box. i > had to put the movie on pause to figure it out. and dang if you can't! > the strobist blog rocks my world right now. > > now, if i hadn't left the rest of my lighting kit in someone's car, > this > one would have just a touch of rim light. > > http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2007/khaaaaan.jpg > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information -rei
