At the BlockParty 2008 held on April 4-6
in Cleveland, Ohio, the CommodoreOne demo,
"Flame" a.k.a. "Lame", won first place in the
Wild Compo. The demo programmed by Jeri
Ellsworth, Ken Summeral (sp?), and George
"Fatman" Sanger, was first shown at Jeri's
talk on Friday evening. Actual competition
voting was on Saturday midnight with "Flame"
going up against various competitors,
including a Linux demo showing ASCII
characters on a revolving 3-D polygon and a
demo utilizing the first music tracker for
an 8086 computer.
The C1 board itself was modded to run
MIDI files straight from the FPGA, no CPU
required. Winners were announced at noon on
Sunday. Jeri and George accepted the first
place prize of various items, including a
trophy that lights up.
More exact details on the Wild Compo to
be reported here and more details on all of
the compos to be reported at the BlockParty
website -- http://www.demoparty.us
More photos and video to come.

At the Cleveland airport
for the return to California,

download to see it?

Notacon/BlockParty video-recorded and
burned to DVD-R each presentation
(they had semi-professional set-up with
3 high-end cameras and live editing
set-up). Each presentation was sold at
$15 each. I myself bought 3 of those
DVDs (there were dozens of different
ones).

Jason Scott, organizer of BlockParty,
assured everyone that the videos
(of BlockParty, at least) would be up
on the Web, but he gave no time
frame.

The videotape I shot of the BlockParty
Commodore-related activities have
been edited and burned to DVD-R
already. Now I await kind souls to
upload them for me.
