Bill gave me this awesome vintage Apple poster for my birthday. It's mounted on wood and everything! Bill painted: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish" on the back. It's a quote from Steve Jobs' recent speech at Stanford. Thanks Bill!
here's the speech that inspired it
I wrote a script to estimate the coordinates of my Mongol Rally pictures from the GPS data we have on our map. The clever bit is that I used the time each photo was taken to guess the proportion of the distance travelled between two coordinates and guess the exact spot. Unfortunately however I don't know how to link to the view above.
UPDATE: I have now written a Flickr Geo-Tagger app so that anybody (ie, you!) can tag their Flickr photos from GPS data.
Mackenzie L's painting on canvas of the symbol on the cover of Divergent, one of her favorite books.
Kieran P drew some of his favorite Marvel superheroes, plus some "lil conflusterators" (his own interpretation of several of the comic book heroes).
Is this the engine number? I can't see anything else. It's similar to what's on the receipt, but not the same: 006630.
The Mac Computer Expo was held in Petaluma, CA on October 6, 2012. Leo Laporte, the host of TWiT.tv and a Petaluma local, gave a tour to the vendors and speakers of the Expo. I was there for my second time as a speaker, this time on Reputation Management. We first had dinner at Cucina Paradiso then walked to the TWiT studios. It's a tv studio and a technology museum. #geekout iamsonomacounty.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/twit-tv-studio-t...
100K Ohm linear potentiometer + DPDT switch + Hammond project box = $5 goodness!
I love a good homemade project and finally got around to building this Vivitar 283 flash black box...
Once upon a time, Vivitar sold an accessory that controlled flash output down to 1/32 (1/64?), but is now rare and expensive if you find one. This VP1 style plug-in allows for fine control down to 1/128 output and retains full thyristor functionality via the selector switch, mine's uglier than the original but for me it's all about the fun in finding parts and making this stuff! /Geekout
Still need to hookup a DMM and mark the stops onto the front, thanks to Obi-Wan for inspiring this mod!

On November 11, 2019, Disney launched their streaming service, called Disney+ (a.k.a Disney Plus) . With it, they added lots of favorite movies and TV shows, along with new series, including the Mandalorian. I take a look at the new platform 24 hours later, to show you all the good and bad with this new service.
What is on Disney+
The Mandalorian
The service has content from as much of the library that they can publish. Movies and TV shows from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and National Geographic.
Included are new series and movies specifically for the streaming service. This includes the highly anticipated “Mandalorian” – a series by director Jon Favreau.
Finally, content from early Disney, including Mickey Mouse cartoons, digitally remastered. This includes the iconic “Steamboat Willie” – and the introduction of Mickey himself.
What is Not on Disney+
Keep in mind, not all video is on the streaming service. For example, Sony owns rights to Spiderman movies, so this content needs to be licensed for the service to use it. On that same token, Disney was known for bringing out limited release classics of Snow White, Cinderella, and more.
I could see this content come and go to keep with that tradition. For now, it is on the service.
Other shows may have existing license contracts that prohibit Disney from airing until the contract runs out. For that point, movies, and shows could also leave Disney, just like they leave Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, to be shown on Network TV, HBO, or even the competing services.
Missing is ABC content (I really wanted to watch Flashforward again, or maybe catch up on Lost), older shows – such as Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Netflix Marvel shows like Jessica Jones and Daredevil, and movies like Mighty Ducks and National Treasure.
How to Watch Disney+
The service is ready for many major OTT platforms, including iOS, Android, XBox, PS4, Roku, Amazon, along with LG and Samsung TV platforms. More may be coming soon.
Disney also has an extended package with Hulu, so you can watch not only all the content from the app, but also ESPN+. This service does cost more as an add-on, but if you’re a sports fan, this might be
Other Features of Disney+
The service is fairly straightforward, but they do have options to talk with support, opt-out on advertising companies, give you options for Closed Captioning that are beyond what Disney has on the service, and more.
All of these features are on links, located on the bottom of the webpage. You will have to log into a browser version of the service to access those features.
Original Series
The World According to Jeff Goldblum
There are other great new series that will be on Disney+. What I believe to be another great breakout show is “The World According to Jeff Goldblum”. This is a NatGeo series where Goldblum geeks out over other people’s passions.
In Encore, Kristen Bell reunites casts from High School musicals to re-enact the theater show. First episode reunited the 1996 Santee CA High School cast of Annie.
The Marvel Hero Project celebrates real life children and teens as they show extra ordinary feats.
Price of Disney+
As of 2019, it cost $6.99/month for the basic service, or $69.99 for a yearly subscription. Like I mentioned above, for $12.99/month, you can add it to your Hulu subscription – getting ESPN+ along with it.
The New Ecosystem of Streaming Service – How it Affects Netflix, Hulu, Amazon
I discuss this in the video. The reality is – each service has their own original content, along with licensed shows that Disney will most likely never have. I also believe Disney will license out shows and movies to these services

* side note about this photo/ my life/ camera/ lens.
I've been a back country wilderness ranger in the Wenatchee National Forest this summer. It's awesome. It's hard. I've been carrying my 5D II since my trail camera(20D) died from he extreem moisture from two weeks of rain storms.
I'm not always somewhere that is particularly photogenic, and the summer is so dry that the soil turns into super fine dust. After a few days on the trail myself and everything I own is usually covered with the stuff. Anyone who's a photographer knows that DUST IS THE ENEMY, and anyone who's a true back packer knows that added weight is one of those things that makes the difference between feeling miserable at the end of the day and having the energy to take that extra stroll up the mountain just to see the sunset.
It's been a tough decision for me to decide to bring the 5D II, a tri-pod, and three lenses knowing that it is an extra 15+ lbs and that there is a real risk of ruining multiple $1000's in gear for shots that i'm likely not to achieve on my patrol.
As a result, I've gotten my hands on a Canon G1X It's a great camera as far as my research has told me, fully manual, shoots in RAW, is much smaller, and though I would hate to see it ruined, It's far less valuable than my other gear, especially when i'm shooting in the hopes of being in a beautiful spot rather than know that I will be.
I have high hopes for the G1X......
but....
looking at this photo I can't help but have a total bokeh geekout, to be honest I dont love this photo , i don't even like it all that much, but the bokeh from the 50mm L 1.2 is so beautiful, and I know I have a 0% chance of achieving anything remotely similar with the G1X. I'm a little nervous that I'll now be carrying two cameras. Granted if I only bring the 50mm with me, leaving the other wo lenses at home more than makes up for the weight and space required to cary the G1X.
I must now wish myself the best of luck. Good luck me, happy hiking.

I'm either "Geeking out in the Googleplex" or "Googling out in the Geekyplex". Either way, I can't go all the way to California and not have the obligatory tourist picture taken next to the Google sign Inside the Googleplex.
I'm all foo-ked up, geeked-out and mashed-up here, add that to sleep deprivation, jet-lag, "conference belly" and a bit of a hangover...what a winning combination...
Despite all this, it was fantastic mind-expanding fun! Thanks Tim and Timo for organising a top conference and inviting me to the party...
I've been playing with the popup flash on the XTi since learning a bit about how to tweak it in photo class. This one was a happy accident -- my left hand blocked part of the flash, but it left a nice directional cast across the not-so-important areas, opening up the more important areas (i.e. my toe)
Your honest comments and critiques appreciated, as always.
