Berlin Wall Freedom Monument (3.8 megs)

Walk around a piece of the Berlin Wall! Now you won't have to shoot a shaky video of the monument while trying to hold your camcorder. It's been done for you! If you want to know more about the monument, select this.

Harbor Skyline (2.5 megs)

The camera slowly pans from the fifth floor of Building 2, showing the downtown waterfront skyline, starting with the Dole pineapple cannery in the distance, moving to Building 5, and showing the campus sculpture Stage Set - Mise en Scéne down below. In the first few frames, you can just make out the large Dole pineapple water tank, now gone.

Dinos Under Glass (1.6 megs)

This is a small part of HCC's Dinosaur Exhibit - the shelved sculptures and artifacts. In the first two cabinets you can see sculptures of Deinonychus, which portrayed the bad guys in the movie Jurassic Park. Taken without a filter or proper white balance, everything takes on a yellow-greenish hue which makes it all look more menacing anyway.

The Learning Center (2.6 megs)

The Learning Center helps provide tutors and learning resources to students. Smiling is Charles Miller, one of the Educational Specialists there, and the man at the table is Pat Doyen, who was the HCC Senate's Vice-President in 1992 and is now doing a little tutoring.

Student Government (950 kb)

In the HCC's student government's humble office, here is past President Evan Tector (in the striped shirt) and 1993 President Jerry DeGuzman, sitting at the Senate's brand-spanking-new Quadra 950 (and Gopher server).

Student Life and Development (990 kb)

Here's a scene in the Student Life and Development offices. Waving is Evan Tector, and to the left is Denise Pierson, a former Senator, now Student Life worker, and reputedly the fastest requisitioner in the Pacific.

HCC's Main Computer Lab (1.3 megs)

Here's a pan of HCC's largest computer lab. Busy all the time, it offers full Internet access and many network services from every terminal to every enrolled student. Coming soon - World-Wide Web browsers for everybody!

Slacker (391 kb)

Showing off NCSA Mosaic, the home of pulua (HCC's main Sun), and the messy side of the Sun Microsystems training site, here is fellow hacker and slacker (and Fujio Matsuda Technology Training Center worker) Gerald Johnson saying hello.

The Mess (1.5 megs)

Wondering just what the cameraman is doing, here is Ken Hensarling, HCC's Director of Academic Computing Services. And his office, the mess of which is stuff of legends.

The HCC Atom (402 kb)

Here's a computer animation of HCC's atomic logo, complete with a flyby and spinning electrons, done on the Educational Media Center's Video Toaster 4000. If they get an MPEG board for it, there'll be even more (and longer) movies to come...
