You don't care, but I got to shake hands with Bill Lorensen (marching cubes), Alvy Ray Smith (cofound Pixar, co-invented the alpha channel), Jim Blinn (need I say more?), Tony DeRose (really improved Subdivision Surfaces), Anthony Apodaca (Director of Graphics Research and Development at Pixar Animation Studios, co-created RISpec)...

I'm like a Computer Graphics groupie.
