Twitter

So for updates on what I'm up to I am working on twitter. My twitter can be viewed here. It should allow me to keep things more up to date then on just the blog. The blogs will remain up for random ideas and thoughts like the last couple posts that are up, but the twitter will be more a running log of what is going on.

This blog will stay as it is, the photo blog will still feature photos. But we will see how this new set up goes.

Excel Music Video

Ok...
So this week has been wild. First I learn that scotch tape can produce x-rays. Yes, you read that right, but just once more so it sinks in SCIENTISTS FOUND A WAY TO PRODUCE X-RAYS FROM SCOTCH TAPE!!! Oh, yes, I mean you have to have a vacuum and all, but really. Who goes about peeling scotch tape in a vacuum, who is that bored and how much of a government grant were they playing with to get this to this point? You can read more about it here.

Now, while we are speaking of bored, why not a way to spend some time. Bored at the office? Well thats ok too! Apparently AC/DC decided to release a music video via Excel. So now you can download it and watch at work. Of course you can watch the youtube video, but then where would the fun in that be. So go here, download, watch it in Excel. Its kinda cool to think that its possible to make a music video in such a format.

Well, I think that will wrap it up for now.

Stella's Laptop

Well, it would seem that Stella's Laptop is struggling to continue living, the thing seems to be stuffed with viruses or spyware or such. I am currently battling with it. Wish me luck.

PhotoSynth

So then... I have come across an interesting application on the web. It is called Photosynth. Basically what it does is analyzes a bunch of photos, determines where they overlap and then kinda sticks them together to make a virtual tour-esque set up. Now then, for starters you need to go to their website and sign up and download a program to see them. You can find it here.

Now, I'm currently playing with one. I'm trying out a set up of Stonehenge (building a henge are we?). So first off you can gaze upon some photos here. Then once you have enjoyed them in single photo form you can look at my synth.

It is found here. (You may have to be signed in to the site to see it, it also seems ya have to download the viewer.)

Also, you can check out our living room. That one is found here. If you look you will notice that the tv show keeps changing and Bernoulli pops in and out at different places.

I had to post of this one, cause, well, it would seem that no one else posts anymore.
