Trying out Microsoft’s Photosynth application with my office’s jack-o-lantern contest. A lot of the close up shots didn’t merge into the synth, so play with the controls in the upper right hand corner of the window to see all of the pics.
Unfortunately Photosynth is Windows only, and you will need to install a program so that the synth will display in your browser. But, it is worth it.
Found this on the Failblog. Anyone want to take a guess and what confluence of events led to this?
The Technorama crew and spouses took a back stage tour of the Hoover Dam. The audio and video will be posted on the Technorama blog, but I took a couple of pics worth sharing.
This spillway has only been used once (or twice if you count testing). However, that one use spanned several months when flow from the Colorado river had filled Lake Mead and threatened to top the Hoover Dam. The high water mark can still been seen in this picture because the sides of the canyon were covered in calcification while it was under water.
The photo above doesn’t show the full size of the Hoover Dam. I turned my camera into portrait mode to capture more of the Dam’s face. But when I stitched the photos together, the whole picture doesn’t fit nicely into a rectangular frame. Click the image below to see the full-sized, uncropped version.
Reinforcing the fact that these two authors were separated at birth, the podiobook twins are promoting their respective novels together and coordinating their attack on Amazon.com’s Top 100 for the same day, August 8th.
