Re: Battleground High Art/ nice, nice, very nice

Nice, nice, very very nice. Can you tell me the names of the people
designing on
the SGI's at Columbia? They are the ones living in the real world.

I do have my Nikes and my five dollar bill ready for the spaceship
terrestials behind the hale-bop comet. I hope you are aware that the San
Diego Cult had a, oh my GOD, V R M L site!

In any event. I am looking for people learning/teaching VRMl in
Architecture schools. I am interested in helping them have access to any
tools they might need. I am particulary interested in any VRML 2.0 sites.

By the way, I learned CAD while working at Skidmore Ownings and Merrill. I
worked both in the San Francisco office and the Los Angeles office. Shows
you the kind of drug addicts I hang with.

VRML is currently being applied in bio-chemistry, commerce, medicine,
anatomy, 3D data bases like ocean floors, oil fields, and aerospace.

I am educated as an architect, but I am dreaming of 2nd Web, one were
useful information is exchanged on the Internet.

Best,
Sandra Cannon
