If you ever attended C4, I have a favor to ask: the videos from the conference aren’t available online and if you have any of them stashed away, I’d like to get a copy to organize and upload (I have Wolf’s permission to do this).

2006-2009 was such a formative time for both macOS and iOS: these talks are a great record of what was happening.

For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about:

An archaeologist emailed me last week with a USDZ of an arrowhead. He asked if he could share 3D models on his zoom calls. I said that is an amazing idea.

Now everyone can share 3D models on their zoom calls.

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

Graphs you kinda can’t fix.

Stephan Fleet—VFX supervisor of "The Boys"—made a great video about logistics and safety, politely debunking an internet bozo who asked "why didn't they JUST film it practically?"

GDC 2017: "Insomniac's Web Tools: A Postmortem" by Andreas Fredriksson (@deplinenoise) of Insomniac Games https://gdcvault.com/play/1023961/Insomniac-s-Web-Tools-A

I found this completely fascinating. From 2010 to 2017, Insomniac made their game development tools (level editors, sequencers, animation editors, node-based visual script editors, etc.) with web technology, so they ran in Chrome. This presentation is about what they discovered by doing so, both technologically and culturally.
