I can see clearly now...

I briefly browsed back to a photography site I used to frequent a lot - Photo Friday. I've kinda dropped it because I don't really have the time to participate in the weekly photo assignment - but it was fun while I could. But, the reason for this post - today I noticed a cool Monitor Calibration Chart posted on the site. This is a great way to ensure you've got the brightness and contrast of you monitor adjusted to view images in the best possible way. Obviously the chart doesn't help you with colour compensation, but colour management is beyond the scope of this chart.

The Heavy G

Yep, I am one of the blessed unwashed masses. I now have a Yahoo 360 account. This is a Blog-Imagesharing-Social-Network kind of new online community hosted at Yahoo. I'm not sure (yet) if/how it's better than the others, except that it seems to roll all into one handy site. We'll see how it develops. In the meantime, if you want to try it for yourself, check out my page and send me an email (check the blog entry there).

Oops, they did it again!

It seems the folks at Google don't know when to stop! First they up the email capacity on Gmail, now they introduce Satellite images in Google Maps. This is very cool technology. The coverage is a bit spotty right now, but it does work. I tried to grab a shot of Edmonton, but it doesn't have the resolution images yet. Kelowna, on the other hand does. You'll see the map and images in the photos to the left. What was really cool was just scrolling around and seeing the terrain. I found this ancient impact crater in Northern Alberta, just west of Wood Buffalo National Park.

To Infinity, and beyond!!!

Happy birthday Gmail! It looks like we're the ones getting the gift though - according to the Gmail login page. Google will up the 1 Gig of storage to 'infinity' + 1. Though there is an embedded javascript counter on the page that is currently around 1.4 Gig..and climbing. Either way, I hope it's not an April Fools joke, and is more of a birthday present.
