My iPhone excitement is nothing new here, given how long it took me to get one, but there is wave after wave of discovery of new things, I am forgetting I have only had it for 2 months. But last night… I found an app that is, to me, explosive, in terms of opening potential […]
Telegraph Hill Tilt Shift by cogdogblog posted 19 Oct ’08, 12.10am MDT PST on flickr Inspired by a link from kotke to the Fenway Park "Model", I experimented with the Fake Model method. Essentially it is a PhotoShop play of careful gradient selection and lens blur to create effects that convert real photos to images […]
Twitter: the music video– A great compendium of visual message about twitter by Martin Weller, its uses, not, and groovy music by Death Cab Cutie I Will Posses your Heart For more fun catch Martin’s EduPunk video Hee fun to see my Twitter Life Cycle in the mix.

Needed more angles and connectors. This one took 2.5 hours. See Strawberry […]

But as I intuit from the Stephen and George show, that really does not matter, and we need to get over that. photo credit: Pulpolux !!! Week 6 is Complexity, Chaos […]
Photosynth was one of those “cool demos I saw and bookmarked for later” that I was recently nudged to go back and look at– this week I saw a very cool scene created by the folks at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In a nutshell, PhotoSynth magically creates a navigable scene that lets you move […]
Show me the money by Kees (km-fotografie.nl) posted 20 Mar ’08, 10.37am MDT PST on flickr This exhibition shows the full contract from – if I remember it wel – a Swiss Bank for lending out money to the museum. Behind every page is a light source. In the middle (where my friend is standing) […]
