OK, so my mom's taking care of the nephews the next couple of weeks since everyone had to be back at work and the daycare won't take the younger yet. She put T down for a nap and then discovered D had locked himself in his parents' bedroom. Imagining all the trouble he could get into that would prompt him to lock the door, she wheedled, yelled, banged on the door,
calls my brother in a panic!
and then finally manages to pop the lock on the door.
She found him inside, sound asleep.
I find it HILARIOUS. Especially the panic thing. Lord, we did much worse.
She's having fun.
Help! Quick! I have no audio. Is this as cool as they say?
High Res pictures of the FNL dvd box - with lists of the deleted scenes.
OK, they just typed "Notre Dame Cathedral" into an image search (Flicker) and it automatically created a 3-D image of the cathedral that you can move around in, zoom in, etc. And if there's metadata available, you could zoom into a saint and it would tell you who the saint is.
To see it is much more amazing than it can be described....
Very cool. Astonishingly cool.
("mind-bogglingly" - is that a word? that one can say out loud?)
Yeah, but not 10 times fast.
Yeah, my mind is more or less blown.
Imagine something like Google Street View, but it can be manipulated and hyperlinked to something else, using all the public Flickr photos on that database.
It's just... it's like the world of Second Life, but it's our world.
Seriously, that was the coolest demo thing I've seen in years. The phrase "This changes everything" might be a slight exaggeration; then again, it might not be.
It crashed my browser.
Oh well. In the great march towards the World of Tomorrow, Tom gets left behind....
