I just found out about this event & wish I could attend (darn “actual job” getting in the way again), but if you’re free at 4pm in San Francisco, you should definitely cruise over to 601 Townsend St. to see one of the true OG’s of computer imaging speak. Ed Catmull is president of Pixar & Disney Animation Studios, and if you do anything with graphics today, you’ll likely use techniques he invented. The talk won’t be broadcast, so get there a bit early so that you can check in with security & meet other interesting peeps.
