Thursday November 20, 2008 Bjorn to be Wild! Fun at Supercomputing '08
It's been crazy-busy here at the Sun booth at Supercomputing '08 in Austin, but we do get to have some fun as well. This is Bjorn Andersson, Director of HPC for Sun. He is Bjorn to be Wild.
This photo reminded my friend Kai of Fjorg 2008. Worth a look.

This pic reminded me of Fjorg 2008, a SIGGRAPH event in which "competing teams were called on to try to create the best character-driven animation the world has ever seen, within a limited window of 32 straight hours, while overcoming multiple staged distractions in a test of skill, talent, and creativity".
Most fun computer all-nighter ever? 10-minute documentary:
