Built a couple of DirectX/OpenGL c++ demos and showed them to Ubisoft. First thing I know, I was working on the Myst IV production, and then Assassin's creed at Ubisoft Montreal. The game industry is a lot of fun when you are 21. Of course

Google acquired Trendalyzer (the flash-based dynamic graph visualization tool) from the Gapminder Foundation back in 2007. It will be interesting to see what Google will do with this technology. Perhaps a time-based animated Google Analytic
