Do you remember your first experience using the Internet?
As a university student I worked part-time in a cranio-facial research lab programming for a little extracurricular cash. Visiting researchers from around the globe would come and go but over the six months he was measuring and experimenting with force vectors on the jaw, I struck up a friendship with an unusually tall visiting Associate Professor from a small prefecture outside of Osaka, Japan. Kenji Takemoto and I shared a sense of humor and an interest in using 3D animation to visualize data.
