I have yet to see Where the Wild Things Are yet (I know, I am sooo culturally behind right now!) so Ken's treatment of the subject has further inspired me to get tickets this weekend.
Per usual, Ken does an awesome job on his blog of making hyper-technical language accessible to everyone (although I admit, I was lost a little during the middle). I really enjoyed the history/background of Pixar and how some of the animation techniques used in Toy Story came about through his work with John Lassefer.
Ken mentioned that via a restructuring at Disney, John was cut from the team and moved over to the company that would eventually become Pixar. I feel like often, in areas of technology innovation this kind of thing happens frequently. For me, the dot com failures of the late 90's come to mind, which for some, transformed into amazing opportunities and led to incredible developments in technology.
I feel like within the next few years, with all of the failed businesses and layoffs still occurring from the recession, this may happen again with a new restructuring of positions. If anything positive has come out of this recession it is that it's forcing businesses to think creatively. I digress, I know but I just took a marketing midterm and my mind is stuck in business-land.
