The Last Post?

This is the link to the camera that Danny, Kelly, and I used for our presentation.  We borrowed it from my buddy, who told me that it is so portable and does such a great job, that reporters are carrying them around so they can be their own cameraman if they happen upon a breaking news story.  I really was easy to use - point and shoot.

The real magic happened during editing.  iMovie was really easy to use, and Danny, who had never done it  before, was able to master it enough to do some really creative things with it.  Probably spent around 10 hours editing it, but it did not seem that long.

I heard a rumour that we are done posting after today.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.  The topic of technology has so many interesting facets, though I will be the first one to say that I usually took the rabbit trails as opposed to the main track of class themes.  I will say, that once I'm done on here, I probably will not blog anywhere.  I can't bring myself to presume that my thoughts are exceptionally worthy of attention, plus if I'm entertaining, I'd rather do that in more personable ways (to enjoy the moment.)

Good luck and God bless you A13.

PS: check out the "Colby Font" I used on January 19.

Various youtube things

This impressed me - think twice the next time you are suntanning in your back yard.
It's about 2:30 but you get the idea pretty quickly

And there are plenty of photos that are over 20 gigapixels.

Some of you may have also come across this video lately

   

I saw it from a link on facebook, probably the day after it was posted on youtube on February 2.  By Saturday, the 5th, the video had been seen over 10 million times.  Today as I write this, it has been seen over 16 million times.  Is there any way to communicate information to 10 million people in less than three days apart from the internet?  Do 10 million people anywhere even watch the same news program?  

Sometime later in the week I'll be talking about the T&T presentation project I did with Kelly and Danny, but I don't want to spoil anything right now.
