Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Some employers misunderstand job interviews. The interview should be both ways! If you're going to work for a company you need to feel assured, safe and valued. In turn they need to know you're competent, not awkward or a liability. Employers often forget they NEED the employee, it's not a favour.

The recent confirmation by the United States that it has placed offensive weapons in orbit is cause for grave concern about the long-term integrity of the near-Earth space environment. It is a turning point for both the security and sustainability of the Earth-space environmental continuum that
