Man-Gifts at ‘What to get Guys.com’

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

A shout to Rob Stretch and his man gift site What to Get Guys.  Rob cherry-picks products for you, so when buying for males, go there first -- it saves time and prevents frustration while delighting all involved in the resulting consumption.

Fire up your Webcam to help finish crowdsourced music video

Monday, January 11th, 2010

So some musical "outfit" -- C-Mon & Kypski perhaps? -- are soliciting the help of anyone with a webcam to help "finish" their new music video. It seems fairly straightforward: visit oneframeoffame.com; a frame from the video is provided; YOU copy it -- mimic what you see, and, ahem, strike a pose -- ...

The Third & The Seventh

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

The Third & The Seventh from Alex Roman on Vimeo. Slow moving but breathtakingly gorgeous.  HD, fullscreen it.

Building Rome in a Day: Animated 3D model city built from Flickr

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

The University of Washington's Department of Computer Science and Engineering has reconstructed Rome in a day. By harvesting thousands of images from the web and then matching common points in the photos, they were able to compute 3-D visualizations.  All in the span of 24 hours.  I am vastly oversimplifying, so ...
