ROUND TWELVE: a dozen people died for this!

Finally, a winner! After five months, Liz Taylor has won her last dick (congratulations, harbqll). I never liked Liz, but I read Camille Paglia‘s take and changed my mind a little (Paglia is a lefty nutcase, but I have a sneaking fondness for her exuberance).

Right! The roolz:

1. Pick a celebrity. Any celebrity — though I reserve the right to nix picks I never heard of.

2. We start from scratch every time. No matter who you had last time, or who you may have called between rounds, you have to turn up on this very thread and stake your claim.

3. Poaching and other dirty tricks positively encouraged.

4. Your first choice sticks. Don’t just blurt something out, m’kay?

5. It’s up to you to search the thread and make sure your choice is unique. I’m waayyyy too lazy. Popular picks go fast.

6. The pool stays open until somebody on the list dies. Feel free to jump in any time. Noobs, strangers, drive-bys and one-comment-wonders — all are welcome.

7. If you want your fabulous prize, you have to entrust me with a mailing address. If you don’t want the fabulous prize, you’re too smart to be a regular. It takes me forever to put them in the mail, packages go by slow boat, typically take minimum eight to ten weeks and lose the will to live along the way.

8. The new DeadPool will begin 6pm WBT (Weasel’s Blog Time) the Friday after the last round is concluded.

The fabulous prize? Sweasel dot com’s unofficial sponsor, Aunty’s Spotted Dick! Mmmmm…it’s dickalicious!

But as time went on, the over-wrought liberal thing got to you, and he’s worse and worse as time went on. So you kept him in the junk drawer of your mind, next to the melon baller, your collection of old thumbtacks, and the wooden ladles. I have a collection of these, I can’t stand to get rid of them.

I remember them, Uncle Monkey! I didn’t actually work the show. I was in a promotional film for Autographix that ran on a loop at the AGX booth. We were early customers. When my boss and I turned up at the show, an AGX guy recognized us, ran up all excited, took my hand and led me to the booth to see the film.

My boss called me Queen of the Geeks ever after.


Comment from Uncle Monkey
Time: March 25, 2011, 11:50 pm

S.Weasel – Oh, lucky you. I worked the shows because I could fool people into thinking the crap worked! I HATED talking to the public. But, I helped develop the software and did illustrations and could work my way around bugs.

One year I started a buzz because I did an illustration that people thought was ray-tracing (siggraph ’85 I think) and pixar was just doing phong shading. I did get into 3D after that for some time.

After the late ’80’s I was going to shows to get the latest-greatest for my company and steal people.


Comment from S. Weasel

Cool stuff, cool stuff.

I did quite a lot of demos at work for clients. I actually liked doing them. The point was to show clients what a gosh darned advanced company we were.

The BEST was the digital image editing stuff. This was years before Photoshop, back in the days when people had touching faith in photography. So we’d stand people up, take a snapshot of them and then just start doing stuff to their faces. People just Could Not Believe what they were seeing. That was great fun.

We were given a presentation on an early image transmission thingie once. They sent one of their techs to give it. He was so transparently terrified of being there and talking to us, at one point he informed us that their system operated in 32 “grades of shay.”

Comment from Uncle Monkey

Ha!

Now – I was trying to remember some of the paint systems, and wasn’t autographix a direct competitor to genigraphics? I thought it was a simplified presentation system that recorded to a dicomed camera or something. Damn, those years are fuzzy.

Yes – pre-photoshop. We did work for Letraset on their “color studio” software, which was really cool when we first started our Mac studio in the ’80’s. But, they were insane with the price – it was like $1500 back then. Adobe started a crappier version but it was much cheaper. Rest is history. I live in Silicon Valley, so that’s why I got these capers.

Put it this way, the company I wound up buying back then still used special effect cameras (forox) that had motor drives and crap. We’d do optical masking and overlays with computer graphics. Charged a bundle and took days to do it.

So, you were one of those folks who’d give somebody a “third eye” with a lasso and a video capture. Way cool. Actually, it was probably pre-lasso and you were just painting away when I think about it.

Of course this is starting to sound like “I used to have to walk 5 miles in the snow to check my watfiv cards…”

Yep, Genigraphics was one of the systems we looked at before we bought into Autographix. It was a presentation system primarily; slides and transparencies. I think it was a Dicomed camera (sometimes we’d take the film back off and watch the laser draw pretty pictures on the ceiling). Our first one had a 35mm film back, so I’d have to go into work at 2am to change film.

I *loved* that. We had all the computer graphics equipment crammed into one little room (it was expensive stuff!) on a single power switch. I’d hit the switch — dwzhhhhh — and the whole room would come alive. Red and green lights blinking, disks spinning up, fans whirring.

I’d sit in there in the blinking semi-dark watching TV and drawing pictures on the computer. Buck Freaking Rogers, me. LOVED it.


Comment from Uncle Monkey
Time: March 26, 2011, 12:50 am

Yeah, genigraphics & slidetek were primarily draw/type systems for presentations. Slidetek still had one of the best draw systems I’ve ever used. Better than bezier. XT/AT based and tablets/pens. 5.25″ floppies. Huge film recorders over a grayscale CRT with a rotating gel filter.

I was trying to remember even the film recorder we had for the macs. Lost in the haze. We did bulk film though, had our own E-6 processor. Satisfied the photo-bug in me too. Everything was so freaking expensive then, $20k for this, that and the other thing. Heck, a crappy color dye-sub printer was that much – and now a $60 epson does that.

I think our first room wasn’t much larger than 15×15, with 4 systems and 2 cameras in it. The radiation coming off of those things. The crap was so expensive we worked 2 shifts always. I was the morning guy though, so I didn’t sit and trip like the night folks. Had to make sure the product got out!

So, do you still do it without glasses?

Is Abe Vigoda still alive? Crap.

You mean, am I blind after all that? Pretty much. I have very poor eyesight, but the monitor is about the only thing I can see without glasses.

AGX ran on XTs and ATs, which is why I bought an IBM compatible when I bought a home computer. Little did I realize those machines had separate passive backplanes STUFFED with extra hardware. (I once saw the place where they made those custom boards. A warehouse full of little Asian women wielding soldering irons. It was like Sara Lee, only different). Oh, and they had a custom operating system, too.

I still pine for the painting tool that came with the Image Capture System. Not just because it was my first; there was something really intuitive about it. The first business graphics/drawing program we had didn’t have an undo button (I use that to scare the kids).

I got the job through my friend who was the head photographer. Her ran the E6 line. We did 100,000 slides a year, of which about 40,000 were digital.

Heh. Our Bernoulli boxes were $10K each (and I think the cartridges were 10 meg and $40 each). When we moved, we tipped the lot into a dumpster.

Some other venerable candidates:

Elliot Carter, composer (102)
Licia Albanese, soprano (97)
David Rockefeller, zillionaire (95)

Uncle Monkey: Apple stock back in the late ’90′s at $14-16 a share

Does that price factor in the 2-for-1 splits in 2001 and 2005? It was at 14-16 around mid-1997, but the split-adjusted price was $3.50. Which is to say, if you sold this year, you got about a 100-to-1 gain.

We sold just recently, before anybody knew (except our guy) about Steve’s cancer therapy.

You’re overthinking, Oceania. It’s a *dead pool*. The very concept offends some sensibilities.

Is The Dread Pirate Shaved Beard any relation to the Dread Pirate Neck Beard? And if so. . .do we felicitate or condole on the loss of facial (and neck?) hair?

Indeed, Spring hath sprung. But soon I’ll be back to me itchy ways (it sucks sore heartily to have hair that grows almost twice as fast as a normal person’s).

I’d go with my favorite, Mr. Nader, but he’s been pretty entertaining lately—much too good to lose before 2012!—so I’ll toss in the despicable Julian Assange.

That said, I hope Davem123 wins. Assuming Soros is mortal. **shudder**

While you guys are waiting for people to die of old age or horrible diseases I had the help of the US Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. WOW. I never thought I’d win this. But I’ll take the four dicks. One for my wife on mothers day, one for George W., one for the SEALS and all you guys will have to share the fourth because, come on, we all wanted that mofo dead!!!
