My 3-headed editing setup
The monitor at bottom is my DIY Cintiq, which has yet to be encased and prettified.It's fed VGA (!) from a USB-DVI adapter. This non-hardware-accelerated display works fine as extra space for displaying bins.
Wish I'd discovered the band "That Dog" earlier
I wish I'd discovered the band "That Dog" before they broke up (in 1997), as they would undoubtedly have been great to see and hear perform live. Here are a couple of tracks. Enjoy.

My week in Seattle in panoramas
I've been having way too much fun making panoramic images with the AutoStitch iPhone application. The following is a collection of panoramas I shot and stitched on my phone while visiting Seattle this past week. Some of these panoramas were stitched from more than 20 photos. These images and a few more can also be viewed on my flickr page.

iPhone OS 3.0 copy & paste photo bug?
My last post should have included 3 photos, but one was missing. I'd cut the first photo, of a light fixture, and pasted it to the end of the email I'd sent to posterous (a service that makes it simple to create blog posts via email). I checked the copy of the email in my sent mail folder, and it too was missing the photo.
I'm going to try replicating that action in this post. If the photo of the light fixture, which went missing from the last post, is also missing from this one, I'll report the bug to apple.
If you know Seattle at all, you may be able to guess the locations at which I shot the other two photos.

Art Noveau light fixture and clock at old entrance to Seattle's Harborview hospital
I thought this clock at Seattle's Harborview Hospital was pretty nice.
Once past the clock and some ornate moulding, the halls continue in that clinical and blank squared-off style that screams "hospital". I bet architects have a term for it. "medicoindustrial futurist"?
I suspect the light fixture above the clock is a later addition (I might guess that it's Art Deco and the moulding is Art Noveau, but I'm a bit too ignorant on the subject to really say so with any confidence --should I reference "There's Something About Mary?"). it seemed worthy of a quick pic.

The beauty of SeaTac intl airport
I just shot and stitched a panorama while waiting for a ride. Though the Autostitch iPhone app does a great job, I can't help but wish it would save the resulting panoramas to the photo library at full resolution.
The screenshot of the app displaying a section of the finished panorama is at least twice the resolution inside the app as is the version it saves. If the iPhone APIs limit the resolution at which apps can export to the photo library, perhaps autostitch could save to its own db and offer some other method of export (email, built-in webserver a la 'Brushes', flickr export?).
Regardless this one limitation, 'AutoStitch' is a lot of fun, and is well worth its $1.99 price.
