Stolen Valor
I owe Bausch & Lomb an explanation.In high school, I convinced my Chemistry teacher that my time for that class was better spent at the local community college (Go Flood Wall Tech ... Steamers?) learning Calculus, since we didn't offer it at Portsmouth High and I was first in my family to head off to the hallowed halls of Ohio State to learn Architecture.

Pixar Retirement Keyboard
An example of the clash between Caps Lock and 40+ years of emacs motor control.When I 'retired' from Pixar in 1992 to go back to grad school, my friends got me a (digital) gold watch. Neftali "El Magnifico" Alvarez made this custom keyboard and had everyone he could find sign it. The layout is a little odd. Hard to type some words, others, pret

Turdpaint
In my computer graphics youth, everyone wrote two programs - a 2D paint program and a 3D renderer.Such was the curriculum of the time. Ed Tripp taught CIS 781-2-3, a three quarter sequence that took you from the Bresenham line algorithm1 2 all the way to a scanline renderer. I wrote 99% of my code for that class on an original Macintosh 128K, in M

Papa’s Draft Card
Found my Grandfather's draft card in a bunch of my Dad's stuff.About a year before my Grandfather passed away, I visited him and he pulled his draft card out of his wallet. He handed it to me and said "I keep trying to get the shuttle bus driver to drop me off at the post office so I can burn this on the steps. He won't ever stop."

Oh the things you’ll find…
I'm cleaning up a bunch of archived files.While I was in grad school, after Pixar, I did a little bit of consulting to make ends meet. One of the more fun things that I did was write a bunch of audio software for a David Bowie interactive CD. (aka CDi)
I got to hang out with Brian Eno, visited him on Guy Fawkes Night

MacRenderMan
Some historical floppy disk fun from old Pixar days.When Pixar decided to sell RenderMan to the public we had to come up with a good name (It was REYES, Renders Everything You've Ever Saw / Seen).

Chernobyl Personal Geiger Counter
Issued to residents of Chernobyl and surrounding areas after the [Chernobyl Disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster).Last I played with it, it still worked. It takes some pretty weird batteries and I think a coil has cracked inside, so I need to do a little renovation work on it.
