CmdrTaco Visits Pixar 128

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday May 27, 2011 @04:00PM from the sometimes-my-job-rocks dept.

A couple of weeks ago I scored a visit to Lucasfilm and half jokingly challenged the Slashdot audience to invite me to other cool places. Two brave Pixar employees took me up on my offer and showed me around for Slashdot T-Shirts. It's an amazing campus. Thanks to Mark Harrison and Ralph Gootee for showing me "0% of the render-farm" and making me wish that I was talented enough to have a place in such an amazing world. Soon I'll have a cool story to post about the crazy work Mark is doing with mind boggling volumes of data, but for now I have a picture of me next to a giant Luxo Lamp. Also thanks to Heidi Parmelee who gave me a Woody doll to give to my son and made me a hero. So now the gauntlet has been doubly thrown: Who out there in Slashdot-land works somewhere super cool and can give me a tour in exchange for a T-Shirt?

I'm glad to see that the "Invite CmdrTaco to your cool place" campaign has went a lot better so far than its predecessor, the "Come kick kdawson in the balls" campaign.

I work in my bedroom. Besides code, the only thing I would be rendering is children and my wife has informed me you can see 0% of our render farm as well. Could I still get a t-shirt?

You can imagine the disappointment, when they realized he had none... ;)

There was, that was the problem. When that many people were confronted with the reality of the situation, kdawsons balls are unable to be found, a riot broke out. I think a girl died.

The light is obviously pointing in the wrong direction. It's a fake!

I can give you a tour of the ghetto.
Don't worry. They love white, nerdy people there. Be sure to bring your expensive gadgets so everyone can see how cool you are.
