It was fun taking a walk with my father-in-law in the Eldred King Woodlands north of Stouffville. Ontario is beautiful. I took a couple snapshots and then experimented with the settings in Lightroom. The results can be seen below.
Not sure what these two monkeys were upset about (while sharing a banana) but it made for a great photo opportunity. I took this photo during a boat tour in Palo Verde national park. More photos from the tour are available here.
Engadget posted two videos of user interface for the Microsoft ‘Courier’ tablet/e-book/digital journal concept in action. Not sure if Microsoft is really working on it but it looks cool. I love working with Evernote and OneNote, but this concept would add a whole new dimension. I especially like how digital features seem to have been created to support and enhance how people actually take notes with pen and paper – instead of putting digital features first. If this is real (or becomes reality) I could see myself using this and being comfortable with it. I am sure some people think using a stylus is outdated but to me this is a whole new “back to the future” take on the idea of digital note-taking.
Lori und ich sind gestern aus Costa Rica zurueckgekommen. Hier sind ein paar Fotos von Voegeln, Schmetterlingen und Tieren, die ich auf unseren Ausfluegen in den Regenwald und in Naturschutzgebiete gemacht habe. Meine ersten Fotos mit einer Digital SLR Kamera und einem kleinen Teleobjektiv.
The integration of live video into the online map application is quite impressive.
