Photosynth is Browser Compliant

After a long and painful (for me at least) wait, photosynth finally works simply in the browser with no fuss.  When they announced it earlier in the year (around January I think) i couldn’t even get it working in IE.  I got all kinds of fun issues about my browser being unsupported.  Nothing like a Microsoft site not working in a Microsoft browser eh?  Anyhow, I’m looking forward to wasting a few hours on this later today and hopefully starting up a few of them.  Link’age to follow.

In other news: Flickr add face recognition
That reminds me that I need to pickup the new iLife package soon. Finally a good reason to use iPhoto with the geolocaiton & facial recog. features.  Seeing as google added it into their image search and now this, the i can see the trend beginning already.

Saturday Walk in the Park

Saturday Walk in the Park

Val and I took Trixie for a walk today at Mother’s Beach and broke out a shiny new ball. I think you can tell the result

Struck By Lightning

 

Talk about amazing luck.  Not to mention the fact she was holding a metal railing. Im more surprised it didn’t fry the camera actually. 

 

Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, just a really good zap!

Paris Rain

Rain on the Paris WebcamI’ve had the eiffel tower webcam on my desktop for quite a while.  It’s good memories, and gives me something to think about when I need a little pickup or have downtime (don’t worry mom, I’m fine).  Anhow they’re having a crazy rain storm right now and the image looks sraight out of a horror flick.

 

Nothing else to report really, just kind of an awesomely eire photo.  I can’t wait to get back there. This next time tho, I really want to get into the countryside, meet locals, explore.  Paris is great, but I know it’s only a taste of what the rest of the country has to offer.

Flickr Has Video

I realized I missed quite a bit over the last week, however the addition of video to flickr is fantastic, and I’m really looking forward to playing with it soon.  This video is best viewed in fullscreen mode.

 

 

We’re home now, the vacation was fantastic. Tomorrow is play catch-up day so I’ll be posting as I find things, late of course, but you know how that goes.

Office 2.0

Office 2.0

I set this up a few ago but I’ve been meaning to blog it, and im testing doing a moblog from my phone via Flickr in prep for next week’s shenanigans in Mexico!

MBP 2.3ghz 4gb, 23 inch cinema with MStand by Rain Design. Life is good, I just need some shrubberies in here to add a little fresh air to the coffee aroma that resonates at crunch time.
