Inside Look at Pixar HQ

LittleGuernica writes "Aintitcool's moriarty has taken a tour of Pixar's Headquarters in Emeryville, California and it just looks astounding. It instantly makes you wanna work there, or at least pimp up your cubicle... Which they don't have at Pixar, no they have cottages! Looks like Pixar created the optimal work condition for such a creative company, which leaves you no choice but to enjoy your job at Pixar every damn minute you work there."

Ain't It Cool News hasn't been cool in years .....

I remember a time, 4 or 5 years ago, when they used to get all of the scoops. It was really the only site you had to go to get the latest news and spoilers about all kinds of cool movies. Today they are a joke. They are the last to report on most stories, if they report on them at all, and I can't remeber the last time they had a really interesting exclusive about any of the movies I really care about. You haven't been able to register for the talkback for almost a year. McWeeny's latest X-Men 3 "scoop" was something to the effect of "I know who will direct X-Men 3 but I can't tell you". It's nothing like it used to be, which is a shame, because I used to love that site.

Well, let's see...I looked up Ed Catmull on Google and the very very very first link that pops up is from Pixar that describes Ed as:

Dr. Ed Catmull is president and co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios. In 1979, Ed brought his high-technology expertise to the film industry as vice president of the computer division of Lucasfilm, Ltd. During that time, Ed managed four development efforts in the areas of computer graphics, video editing, video games and digital audio. Ed has been honored with three Scientific and Technical Engineering Awards from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for his work, including an Oscar®. He also won the Coons Award, which is the highest achievement in computer graphics, for his lifetime contributions. Ed is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and National Academy of Engineering. He earned a bachelor of science degree in both physics and computer science and a Ph.D. in computer science from University of Utah.

Which may stimulate a person that's really interested in looking up more about him instead of the person that just wants to try, and fail, at being a smart-ass.
