Facebook Video .... Not bad

During my recent cruise, I shot a large amount of video. Although sometimes I am conflicting on what to post to youtube that the people who subscribe to me might actually enjoy instead of showing them my vacation footage. Well I was rather excited to learn that a few months back, Facebook started allowing HD videos.

So I posted my first HD video from the cruise on this site as I find that more of my friends would actually see it there than on youtube, and I got to say it looks pretty damn good.

Ironically enough though, I have yet to create a HD video for youtube since they launched their HD ability.

A Spock Sackboy!

Ok, I'll admit it, after all the fun I've had in Little Big Planet, I would mind owning my own cute little Sackboy doll. Especially one with one of the many fun outfits, but one designed as Spock?? Oh hell yea, I'm in!




















I don't suppose anyone could make a Picard one? Or even a Geordi?? Ooh, Worf, or a Seven of Nine! Ah forget it, they should should just make 'em all.

Addicted to (Caribbean) Photosynths

I'd have to say that I really enjoy Microsoft Lab's new Photosynth site. If you are not familiar with it, it is a site\program that will stitch together a series of photographs to give you a panoramic, a view around a specific point, or the ability to drill down by zoomin in or out to closer or farther away perspectives.

I just took a cruise through the Eastern Caribbean. This gave me a great opportunity to build a few of these photosynths of the beautiful locations I visited. I am not a photographer and these were done just through the point and shoot camera inside of my CanonHV20 Camcorder, but they look decent and it is still a very fun way to get a good complete view of the scenery.

These are the synths I built:
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
St. Thomas, USVI
St. Thomas 2
Megan's Bay
Dickenson Bay, Antigua
