Driving down the highway and a 747 lands on your head.

Jay Rigiel tells, and shows, us about doing the visual effects for Lord of the Rings. To me his most interesting points have to do with the change in the movie industry business model that digital film distribution will bring

Then Bruce Mau tells us about the Massive Change that is the future of design. His main point seems to be that design is about predicting outcomes for the benefit of mankind - distributing a potential. Unfortunately, his delivery is lowkey and i stayed up too late watching the bosox win the pennant, so I find myself fading in and out a bit.
