Well, folks, I'm just back from the third annual BADGE Killer Demo Contest.
This contest, under the name BKDC-2 (the first was BKDC-0), went well beyond
anything I expected.  The demos were so incredible I'm planning to make a
videotape for myself to keep for another decade or so.  I am simply stunned,
absolutely amazed, at what people were able to do.

There were 30 entries shown, and the vast majority were simply superb.  They
were also big (all thirty take 36 megabytes of a hard disk.)  But I don't
think anyone will be disappointed when they see them.

I'll leave a description of the various demos to others, but they ran the
gamut from astonishing custom demos showing off the raw power of the machine,
to humorous cartoon-like animations, to incredibly realistic 3-d animations.

Thanks to Lee and Ali Ozer, Gary Starkweather, and Grant [something], who
ran the entire show did a marvelous job.  Special thanks to those who
took the time to enter the contest.
