Today was the last day for CMS-TV. Back on May 11th the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education voted 7-2 to cut all funding to CMS-TV, effectively eliminating the station in a single amendment vote. In addition to operating the school system’s cable PEG channel, CMS-TV also served as the media services department for the entire [...]
I use Google Reader to keep up with dozens of different websites without actually visiting each one. (Click here to learn more about RSS and Google Reader in plain English.) Yesterday I visited my Google Reader while accidentally logged in to a different account that had no subscriptions. The result was the same as if [...]

I got to the field early for the Sunday Night Football game on December 20th, 2008 and had a moment to quickly snap some pregame photos. I finally stitched them together and here’s the composite panoramic photo. Very symmetrical.

Here are just some of the many photos we took with our camera from our trip to Sunset Beach, North Carolina. Here’s the direct link to the album and below is an embedded slide show. P.S. I’ll post about our adventures soon. (But I’m going to post-date the stories to the correct dates for when [...]
Earlier this year I blogged about a free photo stitching application called Hugin, that combines multiple photos in to cool panoramas. It did a pretty good job but was not at all easy to use. Today I tried a brand new free photo stitcher called ICE that was just released by Microsoft last week as [...]
Today was full of Google tech news – exciting stuff for technophiles, but the rest of you can just stop reading now. First, Google announced and released a new web browser to compete with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla’s Firefox. It’s been rumored for years but today’s news was basically a surprise. I’ve already downloaded [...]
I took 190 photos on our trip to New York (although a dozen or so were sequences meant for panoramic stitching later on). With the addition of photos I copied from my sister’s camera, we came back with over 200. Here are 42 of them.
