    I came across Keith Loutit‘s work via an email Brad Fortner sent me a couple of days ago. I have to admit, I’ve never seen anything quite as good as Keith’s work with the Tilt-Shift lens . Hop over to his Vimeo page  and/or his Photoblog to check out more of his work. Bathtub IV from…

  • JetBytes: On-the-fly file transfer……

    Neat idea…..You all know about sites where you can upload a large file, for your friends to download. It’s simple, but what if you don’t want to store the file somewhere.

  • Teradici PCoIP makes me happy: Initial Review….

    So after covering the initial annoucement of Teradici’s PC over IP product, I received an email asking to see if I wanted to review the product. I said yes, since we have been looking for a remoting technology to consolidate all our lab PC’s and Mac’s at the university and we could potentially end up…

  • Topps 3D Live does Augmented Reality Baseball Cards…..

    Yep, this must be the newest trick advertisers are devising to get our attention. Michael Eisner’s company is trying really hard to make baseball card collecting cool again, by releasing Augmented Reality enhanced cards. You pick these things up for a buck or two, come home and hold the card in front of your webcam…

  • Sixth Sense: You really need to see this.

    Well, I watched it and came across a couple of comments. First was “Holodeck is now one step closer” and right below it “Skynet is nearly Self-aware”. I guess I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you want to go on a “Star” trek or Terminate now :-). Just watch it, it’s 8…
