  I was just flipping through our cable channels trying to tell what from
what (our cable company made the wise and boisterous decision of reshuffling
80 % of the channels around overnight) when I caught the last few minutes of
one of the best computer graphics animations I have ever seen.  The anim was
called 'Evil Grinning Death' or something similiar and from what I surmised
in the credits it was created at MIT.  Turns out it was the last segment on
a show on MTV called 'Liquid TV.'  From what I can tell from the credits, it
looks like the whole show is nothing but rock videos usings computer graphics.
Anybody know anything else about the show ?  When is it on regularly (my
cable guide had something else listed on MTV at the time) ?  How long has
it been on ?  Anybody have any on tape ?  Also, if the guys who created
that animation are out there, how about filling us in on what was used
(in terms of computing power) to accomplish the feat ?

   Sign me stunned...
