Alex Lindsay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex Ben Lindsay, founder of the Pixel Corps, has been involved in computer graphics and computer animation for nearly 20 years. Alex has extensive experience in digital production including print, real-time graphics, multimedia titles, forensic animation, television, and film. He spent several years on the production of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (at JAK Films and then at Industrial Light and Magic). Alex has taught at the Academy of Art and at the San Francisco State Multimedia Studies Programs. He writes for 3D Magazine, 3D World, and Post. Alex was a regular guest on the US cable channel TechTV and recently has appeared as a guest on G4techTV Canada's television show The Lab with Leo Laporte.
Lindsay also hosts and produces This Week in Media, a weekly podcast on the Pixel Corps network and is a regular guest on the This Week in Tech podcast. Lindsay also produces MacBreak, a video podcast shot in 1080p using a Sony CineAlta. Among the many other things Alex does, he participates in Macbreak Weekly, a weekly, talk show/podcast. A running joke in the show is that Alex tends to recommend to listeners products with exorbitant price tags, on average $700 USD. Thus, the panel has created a unit of currency, the “Alex”. Other guests on the show will refer to the cost of their picks in relation to an "Alex" or fractions thereof. If the pick is a free tool or download it will cost "zero Alexes”. If it cost $1400, it is "2 Alexes".
