Here’s a slideshow from my recent trip to Puerto Rico. It was put together on Flickr and embedded here using FlickrSlidr.
I just thought Flickrslidr was cool and wanted to share it with you all.

Check out this cool video showing NASA’s new six-legged moon rover/walker, called the ATHLETE (short for All Terrain Hex Limbed Extra Terrestrial Explorer).
Kinda looks like James Bond’s moon buggy from Diamonds Are Forever, except without the six wheels and without Sean Connery…

This is for all you Trek fans:
All I can say is that I WANT TO LIVE THERE!! Check out this dude’s place.
I wonder if it’s in the basement of his parent’s house…

Apple Steve Jobs has announced today that, come February 2008, Apple will be releasing an SDK (software development kit) for the iPhone. What this means is the iPhone will soon be able to run sanctioned third-party applications (I wonder how soon we’ll see them after the SDK release in Feb).
Steve said today:
“We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers.”
Read the entire release here.
I, for one, am beginning to feel happy with my decision to purchase an iPhone.

Take a look at the artwork on this page. It’s all trash and shadows… which is almost like smoke and mirrors.
Fantastic stuff. Amazing!

Well, I broke down and got it last Wednesday. It’s past the point of returning and getting a full refund (Apple lets your return it within three days for full refund, including activation fee). So here is my short review as of today:
So far, I like it very much.
Getting it set up was a breeze, although my desktop contact management program is Entourage and it took a little doing to get it to sync to iPhone. It was not that much of a big deal as Entourage can sync with iCal and iCal syncs with iPhone. The syncing is both ways, so if I enter contact or date info on the iPhone, it will eventually show up in Entourage.
I can sync it to two computers; one has my music and podcasts on it and the other has all my contacts and Safari bookmarks. iPhone can easily sync to both machines without an issue.

So you go around boasting to others about your 22 megapixel camera and the stunning images that it can take - unfortunately, that megapixel count pales in comparison to the efforts of big-brained researchers at Carnegie Melon University and NASA Ames’ Research Center, who developed an image that contains more than a billion pixels. They found a method to capture multiple images of a single landscape, combining them into one gigantic panoramic photo that you can view in total or zoom all the way into in perfect clarity. All you need is a standard digital camera and a robotics tripod, and you can begin snapping across the entire landscape while stitching them together later. Neat!
