draft
It
is a tradition of Global Wahrman to write a post as I am running and
late for Siggraph.
The
disadvantage of course is that it is going to be pretty rough until I
can get back and edit it. The advantage is that it usually expresses
something that is important to me that I only realize (or feel like
talking about) when under stress.
So
here is (are) some of the problems in a nutshell.
On
the one hand I want to show new work. It is important for that new
work to be of sufficient interest and currency to catch people's
attention, and yet also fit. When I am able to show new work of
sufficient quality or promise then I will feel much better and it is
likely that things will be better in a number of ways.
So
what is the problem? The problem is not coming up with an idea. I
have plenty of good ideas, I think many people do. The problem is
picking one idea, picking the right idea, and somehow come up with an
idea that fits the time and resources available.
Every
year I go to Siggraph and find confirmation that some of my ideas are
good enough to be published. But would I have had the resources to
execute that idea? Would I have the ability to focus given the
incredibly unstructured environment I find myself in?
The
answer so far has been no, unfortunately.
