Today's Washington Post reports that James F. Flinn, the
computer graphics animator (and all-around great guy)
at the California Institute of Technology has been awarded
a MacArthur  grant of $265,000.   

If you are not familiar with the MacArthur grants, they are
awarded "out of the blue."  There is no application process;
instead, the organization has a staff which quietly "finds" 
people they believe are deserving.  There are no restrictions
on what awardees may do with the money.
