SIGGRAPH starts tomorrow

Tomorrow the PLW will begin full-blown, fast-paced coverage of the 2006 SIGGRAPH conference. Takashi has put together an excellent new site, PLWire, to showcase the footage, images and contacts we make there. John’s urging us to avoid text and just go with images, video and links. Luis seems all set to get some awesome footage, though as of yesterday he was working through some MPEG-2 codec issues with the group’s new camera. PLWire will go live tomorrow.

It so happens that my parents are also coming in tomorrow, so it’s going to be a busy week for me balancing the conference and the family time. Then later next week Jenn and I are heading down to meet them and the rest of my mom’s side of the family in Ocean City, New Jersey for a little beach vacation. Armed with her board and stoked from a decent session last weekend with Danny, Jenn is hoping Jersey will actually have some waves. I guess like the rest of the east coast surfing population we’re going to have to hope for a storm swell.
