I’ve just returned from CGOverdrive 2006 in Singapore, and it was a blast! Although the jetlag and the south east Asian weather took its toll on my body, I managed to survive the whole affair with only a sore throat and recurring dizzy spells (no idea what that’s all about).
The conference itself was a huge success–I think it surprised all of us. Not that we expected it to suck, just that the vibe of the whole thing was so wonderful–all the attendees were very enthusiastic, and all the speakers (well, almost all) rocked the audience during their workshops. The kind folks behind the whole thing were very generous and professional, and have a genuine love for everything related to CG. The real shocker for me was the fact I got mobbed for autographs and photos everywhere I went for all three days of the conference. I had no idea people actually knew who I was, or even cared, but apparently despite the national diversity of the attendees (Philippines, India, Thailand, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, UK, Sweden, USA..etc), they know about me from online CG forums and websites. If any of you are reading this–hi! it was very nice to meet you all!
No trip is complete without photos, right? That’s why I took plenty–complete with commentary! Read up on my little trip to Singapore and look at the boring photos. I put all the photos and commentary on a seperate page because I don’t want to kill all the 56k modem guys who read the blog but aren’t interested in the CGOverdrive 2006 conference.
