Stop PIPA/SOPA.

EFF Effort to email your congressman. PLEASE Stop the Madness. If these bills are passed it will be very likely you may be prosecuted, fined, or possibly serve jail-time or Prison sentence if you were to do a cover song, practice Karaoke, or any other "subversive" act deemed by the copyright holder. This is a very very very bad bill.

Looks like things are starting to be dropped like the following.

Futuristic housing yesterdays view and todays re-envisioning

It seems every decade marketing departments around the world get this bright idea to build a showcase house to show technologies alleged to be "just" around the corner but end up never really materializing like demonstrated. Without a due i have arranged a few youtube videos "yesterday" and "current" incantations of the fabled "House of Tomorrow"

Monsanto pre-manufactured house circa 1957. I remember my grandparents grumbling about this... never really having a opportunity to experience realization of this concept house.



Kitchen of 1999.



Re-visualization concept house of tomorrow.

Computer graphics have come a very very long way since the initial beginnings.

I would like to thank the thousands of people involved with the field since the humble beginnings.

As a tribute i have attached some youtube demo-reels from the early days of computer animation.
