I'm listening to Sean Carroll's year-end hoiday episode of the #MindscapePodcast . I really appreciate and agree with his message about #academia and its purpose in this episode.

I enjoyed this episode of my favorite podcast, Mindscape, where Sean Carroll talks with Alvy Ray Smith, Pixarβs co-founder. ποΈ It traces the history of computer graphics from the mid-1960s through Pixar and beyond β much of it happening in the San Francisco Bay Area. A major milestone along the way was Toy Story, the first feature film created entirely with computer animation. There are also interesting stories about Xerox PARC, George Lucas and ILM, Pixar, and Steve Jobs.
