Well, I got back from SIGGRAPH on Sunday.  I could spend a lot of time re-iterating what I've said elsewhere about the conference, but I won't!  I was one of four people who were selected to report on new technologies, innovations, and other exciting news from a SIGGRAPH Student Volunteer's perspective for FireUser.com.  I posted daily blogs of the events as I saw them.  These posts are being featured on FireUser.com, OpenGL.org, and are supposed to go up on CGW.com soon.  I'm very excited to get this opportunity.  Here's a direct link to all of the SIGGRAPH blogs.

In sad news, I think my Call of Duty 4 disk is dead.

I bought my 360 off of a friend, but didn't see this problem until after he had already left for the summer.  The multiplayer runs with no problem, but the single player campaign only gets to the loading screen for Part 2 of the Prologue, and then displays the infamous "Unreadable Disk" error.  I'm going to make sure it isn't the memory or hard drive before I give up on it, but it's upsetting because I really want to continue the game.  Guess I'll either play multiplayer or Halo 3 if that doesn't work.
