Who is bernie?

Living life to the fullest in Tokyo and in the far east. I run a company that does R&D and consultancy for Pixar's RenderMan. I do both Art and Technical Direction for American and Japanese feature films. Among hundreds of other responsibilities and projects I am currently in production on a short animation, which I am also the Producer. 日本語もあるよ!

This is my corporate blog including scripts code and daily notes from around the world. Topics include Pixar's Renderman, Maya, XSI, Houdini,C, C++, Python, Perl, Linux, OS X, PHP, Java, system engineering, Solaris, Opensolaris, GPU tricks, Nvidia's CG and Cuda, pretty much anything regarding my work with computer graphics/animation and new visual technologies.

time tripper

Just realized it's the 17th which is normal for all you out there. I just gained a whole day because I thought it was the 18th. I thought I was running out of time for writing reviews for SIGGRAPH Asia due 23:59 UTC. That with late night 2am conferences with California(I have another in an hour), writing a draft for CEDEC, some mind bending research, running a company, and producing a short film. I was looking forward to the 18th deadline just to lighten my load. Anyway I think it's been confusing because everyone has been mailing me timelines in UTC GMT PDT GMT+2(Belarus) etc....

Thanks to good design I am on schedule. I actually designed my office (rename Tardis) on THX 1138 so I would work harder and without distractions like color, design, time, you know things like everyday life. It worked I was not distracted by time at all. It shows what sensory deprivation will do to you when in an all white office.

The good thing is yes it is Wednesday and I can calm down .... for at least an hour while I'm hooked up to California (PDT to you ;).
PS can anyone recommend a watch for a guy like me who works in about 4 timezones a day?
