Some Photoshop fun for Sliders Sunday.
Snapped an iphoner of this subway staircase a few years ago with thoughts of doing something dramatic with it, then it promptly disappeared into that avalanche of shots that I suspect most of us have created over time.
Somehow this one raised its little digital hand yesterday so I took hold of it, pulled it from the pile and slid my way into today's post. HSS everyone!
nah :P actuelly she's in BB's club it's my mobile. Thank you so much Keko we had really great crazy fun amazing :P time today! and *cheers* for ya girl :P my car still smell like Macdonalds lool jk

Playing with the Prisma app on my cell phone. It just became available for Android a couple of days ago, but it has been downloaded so much and has been so popular, that trying to use it takes forever and sometimes results in a message that says their server is overloaded and try again later. It's an interesting app, and one that I imagine a lot of you iphoners are familiar with.
The image was at Lover's Point, Monterey, Ca.
Seriously. You guys.
Seriously.
I've had gadgets since the day I was born. My rattle was a 2-in-1 rattle / lullaby machine.
I've also owned every generation of iPod since it's birth.
But this thing is simply the coolest gadget I've ever come across.
"Oh, but it's just like the iPhone without the phone."
F the iPhone.
Phones are meant to be in your pocket. you drop them. you scratch them. You use them so often they take some crazy wear and tear. Plus you add internet, bluetooth, the phone, music, and videos?
What do you get?
You get a dead battery when you want to call for help from that horrific car accident you were in ...all because you just had to keep watching that stupid Miss Teen USA clip on YouTube this week.
Tee-hee...my phone has YouTube!
Dumb.
No offense iPhoners. I love Apple more than anyone. But you have to keep your phone separate from your badass gadgets. Everytime you try to shove that many features into a device....you lose in someway or another.
But this thing....as an iPod? Super sexy. The touch screen and keyboard are amazing. Coverflow (pictured above) actually made me get into having album art. And sliding your finger over the top is actually making me listen to more music. just for the experience.
It has Wi-Fi and thus you can get on the internet. Unlike the iPhone you can only do it where you can find the free Wi-Fi...but even if you have to pay for it...it's still less than the $150 a month you'd shell out for an unlimited data plan for the iPhone.
Another complaint is that it doesn't have a Maps feature. ...yet it has internet. Thus...it ...has Google..Maps?
Add double the space of an iPhone and it makes it the greatest iPod they've made yet. Plain and simple.
Now that said, I'm going to go watch that super-sweet YouTube clip of Miss Teen USA on my iPod touch.
Perhaps one of the more popular meet up spots in Chicago, this curious reflective spaceship draws all manner of people at all hours. Thus, it is quite a challenge to get a photo without the typical families, kids, selfie shooting iPhoners and such. I set up my camera on the tripod and fired the shutter every 30 sec or so for a few minutes, hoping people that were in motion would eventually move around in the scene. Then I stacked all the layers and "erased" most of them using a subtractive blending technique, which worked fairly well.
Lens is the Sigma 8-16mm. I also applied some sensor shift correction in camera to reduce the converging verticals a bit, though it makes no sense in such a wide shot to attempt to eliminate the distortion completely. The buildings seen in the reflection on the bean are along Michigan Ave and have some strong orange sodium vapor lighting. Perhaps in a couple more years, all of these night-orange buildings will get LED lighting and look truer in the city scape.
More to come. Hope you like this.

Testing the GPSmission iPhone client in Cologne.
orbster.com/blogs/miss_h/2008/11/11/1226429760000.html
The GPS-Mission iPhone client is about to come! Orbster programmers and the graphic designers have been working really hard on it the last weeks. Now various people are already testing it outside. Visiting my brother I did some testing in Cologne last weekend. And I was quite impressed!
Starting it goes much quicker and everything worked pretty smoothly. A lot of the graphics is new and having it on a bigger screen makes it even cooler. There is a couple of new features as well like the option to see what other players are active at the moment. And what I really enjoyed is the possibility to easily zoom in and out of the map using your fingers on the touch screen.
The only problem we encountered was that sometimes the phone wouldn´t notice that we had moved, making us run back and forth once in a while or missing some of the gold lying around. Which reminded me of my first trials starting a mission a few month ago... This is fixed in the newest version I tried out today though.
What is really neat, too, is the map on the display, which is by openstreetmap, an open source mapping project run by volunteers. There is so many people donating GPS tracks and helping to add more and more details to this map that in many parts of the world it is far more detailed than any other digital (and nondigital) map. We were quite amazed that even very small footpaths in the parks were on it.
So if you´re an iPhoner, watch out for this really nice tool coming up soon! And if you do not have an iPhone, make sure you can lend one of your colleague!
It was raining here yesterday so during my lunch hour I walked over to Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture, which is just a few blocks from my office, and thought I'd snap a few iPhoners. There are always tons of people taking shots with the sign, except when it's raining, so I thought I'd give it a go.
After some processing while riding the train home last night - a great way to pass the time while commuting - this is where I ended up...
another iPhoner from the Woody car show...
this one had a period wood surfboard ( in a modern board bag ) sticking out the back...very cool
One more Snapseeded iPhoner. I took this one early this morning after dragging the garbage can to the curb. The soft light from the overcast sky had me out shooting in the front yard in slippers, bedhead and all. Whatever it takes!
...
Check our new video for the upcoming show
We'll be road trippin down to Known Gallery in LA before the opening.
I'll be posting iphoners and updates of our adventures on the new Lea Bruno Facebook page
My 1996 Civic HX CVT is approaching its Sweet Sixteenth, and while it still more or less runs fine, it is not what it once was and there are modern amenities I long for.
Chief among these are the safety innovations of the last two decades – in terms of safety the Civic HX wasn’t state-of-the-art even in 1996 – including anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, more than two airbags, improved crumple zones, etc. Almost as important are advances in fuel efficiency and emissions. Finally, there’s the electronics: MP3 players, navigation systems, keyless entry, hands-free dialing, etc.
I am one of the biggest gearheads I know and yet unlike traditional gearheads, well, I don’t put much stock in tradition. Don’t get me wrong: I enjoy racing cars in GT5 as much as the next guy. It’s just that when it comes to handing over actual money, I cannot justify spending significantly more simply to get to the next stoplight a second faster or go faster around a track.
What I will spend (a modest amount) on is new tech. This was the case when I got my Civic, which was a proto-hybrid-smugness moment for me. The Civic was the first car with a real engine (not counting the Subaru Justy) to sport a continuously-variable transmission – more or less the same one still used in Honda hybrids. This delivered nearly the acceleration and efficiency of a manual transmission but the convenience of an automatic. It helped that the engine was also new: a VTEC tuned not for performance, but for fuel efficiency. Also that it was a Honda – back when Hondas were more cart-like than the competition. And all this was available for maybe $1200 more than a very affordable Civic LX. I was in geek heaven.
Fast-forward to April 5, 2012. The early adopter car of the moment is the Prius c, and I test-drove my second one (pictured) today.
First, a brief rundown of the Prius c. Marketed in the U.S.A. as an entry-level Prius, in fact it more closely resembles a Yaris Hybrid - while it does have a real (albeit three-quarters-scale) Hybrid Synergy Drive, in terms of physical dimensions a Prius c is clearly a Yaris. It is not even made on the same assembly line as the Prius and Prius v. It is also $3-4k less than a Prius Liftback (the retronym for the Prius now that there’s four Priiuseses).
What you give up for that extra few grand in your pocket is surprisingly little. It gets similar (class-leading) fuel economy; still has five doors and five usable seats; and most of the electronic wizardry is intact, as is the basic design. Actually, I don’t think I’m alone in thinking the Prius c is more attractive than its Poppy (Prius) and Mommy (Prius v). (What does that make the Plug-in Prius? Uncle Fester?)
Personally, it’s not so much what I’m willing to give up to make the Prius affordable, but what I positively gain with the Prius c. I like small cars. I’ve always thought my Civic Coupe was a little too big. The Civic is roughly the same size (only not nearly as tall) as the Gen-II Prius, which is somewhat smaller than the current Prius Liftback. The Prius c is almost a foot and a half shorter (lengthwise) than my Civic – and that should come in handy looking for parking in San Francisco.
Hand-in-hand with the smaller size is less weight – roughly 500 pounds less than the Liftback. It’s still around 145 pounds heavier than my Civic (it’s hard to get reliable specs for a car so long out of production), 185 more than the Yaris, and about the same weight as the Fit, but none of those cars have to lug around the extra motors, electronics, and batteries of the Hybrid Synergy. Undoubtedly, if they have not already done so, JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) tuners will gut the Aqua (their name for the Prius c) and transform it into an outright sports car.
That will be a big transformation, though, because the stock car is anything but sporty. While it drives essentially like a normal car at low speeds (if “normal” is a Yaris), once you get much past 30mph the accelerator doesn’t have a whole lot of effect on the world outside the engine bay. It seems to be enough to keep up with traffic, though.
It’s not half bad in corners, either. While my Civic’s springs have seen better days, it has noticeably more body roll than the Prius c. And, as other reviewers have pointed out, the c feels more planted than its 2587-pound weight and 175mm-wide tires might have you think. It also has a considerably smoother ride than the Civic has.
Considerably quieter too. While it ain’t no Lexus, it’s remarkably calm for a subcompact – even the Prius’ own “blind pedestrian” noisemaker is difficult to discern from the front seat.
Neither is the overall driving experience a 90s Honda, and that can be good or bad depending on your tastes. Honda is not what it used to be either: the CR-Z I drove in Dec 2010 felt almost as dead as the Prius c - which is fairly lively for a mainstream Toyota, if one can say that without risking oxymoronity.
Somewhat surprisingly, even the passenger space is better than my Civic’s, despite the shorter wheelbase and much shorter length. True, the Civic has a fraction of an inch more headroom in the front, but I don’t use all the headroom anyway (I’m 5’10”). Only with the sunroof option does my hair brush the ceiling of the Prius c. Without the sunroof (which I don’t want anyway), I have more than enough room.
Driver position is more adjustable in the Prius c too. In addition to a seat height adjustment on trim levels Two and up, all Prius c’s have a tilting-telescoping steering wheel. The total travel is barely an inch or so, but that inch is nice for someone who’s driven 16 years in a car whose steering wheel is an inch too far away.
The seat itself comes in two models and three upholstery types. The One’s seat fabric is a cheap-feeling material that evokes 80s Corollas. The Two/Three seats (pictured) are two-toned and two-textured – the center of the seats being a modern, smooth synthetic, and the outer parts a rougher woven synthetic remarkably similar to that of my task chair at home. Finally the Four is upholstered in SofTex, which is a (faux) faux leather which evokes more of an aquatic origin (appropriate!) than bovine provenance.
The One trim has an older seat design, while Two and up have a “next-gen” seat. The difference is subtle – the headrest is different and the side bolsters deeper in the next-gen seat - but I personally found the next-gen substantially more comfortable. It practically fits me like a glove - although my smaller female friend who test-drove the car with me found the deep bolsters got in the way of her arms. The seats are reason enough for me to upgrade to Two.
Where the Prius c really shines is in the back seat. It has noticeably more head, leg and hip room back there than my Civic – enough to make the difference between feeling cramped and contorted in the Civic and perfectly comfortable in the Prius c. There’s even a cupholder back there in the c. And a three-point belt for the humpsitter.
Where the c comes up short, literally, is in the cargo area. I’ve measured it to be less than half the size of my Civic’s trunk – which is already one of the smaller trunks of my friends’ and family’s cars. Even for a single person like me, I doubt the c has enough space for a typical Costco run without folding the rear seats. (Which would be ironic, since, if I bought one, it would probably be through Costco.) Then again, the c appears to have about the same amount of cargo space as the Mazda 3, and more than the Yaris Hatch, so I guess it doesn't bother people too much.
As for the gadgets, they leave me cold. Then again, I’m a smartphone/GPS Luddite. Still, even diehard iPhoners – especially diehard Apple fans – will likely agree with me that the Prius’ GUI design is about a decade behind the times. Not unusable by any means; I just didn’t feel invited to try it out. Whatever.
I did plug in my old iPod Photo to test out the stereo, though. I probably didn’t find all the controls (then again, I don’t think the Two trim level has all the controls the Three trim level I was testing had), but it looked like the car just treated the iPod as a USB HDD, and played the songs in order – but, again, I wasn’t really concentrating on that.
I was concentrating on the sound quality. Which is okay. Distortion rears its ugly head early in the walk up the volume dial - it's already noticeable at normal-for-me volumes and overwhelms the music at anything approaching loud. The driver-side speaker on my Civic’s entry-level OEM stereo is not working, and yet the sound quality is still noticeably better. I had previously tested a c One, albeit only with FM, and the even cheaper stereo in there was downright muffled. As if the speaker drivers were made of cardboard – which I wouldn’t put past them. Clearly, Toyota designed these stereos to be replaced.
Which introduces us to the topic of build quality. Which is as cheap as I should have expected: in short, Yaris-like. The CR-Z, while definitely not luxurious, has a more cohesive, techo-modern feel to its interior. It has a familiar ring to it, as my Civic HX CVT filled a similar niche back in 1996. While the HX was only a step-and-a-half above the bargain basement, the overall design and quality of the materials does not scream cheap. Basic, but not cheap. And even, when it comes to the speedo, slightly sporty.
Conversely, I wouldn't call the Prius c basic - with its busy center console and USB port - but it is a little cheap. Parts (e.g., the glovebox) are noticeably flimsier than in the HX. Most everything is made of semi-glossy hard plastic, with occasional bright bits that burn spots into my retina on a sunny day. (I hate that about my mom’s Camry, although they seem to have toned it down a bit with the c.) By comparison, the HX is mostly soft plastics and all matte. Even after sixteen years, the Civic’s interior still looks down its nose at the Prius c.
To make a long story less long(er), the Prius c is amazing at one thing – fuel efficiency for the money – and competent at everything else. Which makes my (and others’) buying decision relatively simple: including all the externalities you feel are worth including, what is your break-even point? For me, the result is the Prius c is a slam-dunk versus the Yaris or Fit (let alone the practically obsolete Insight), but a dubious value versus my still-okay Civic HX.
With my typical 65-mile commute (63 of which are on freeways), I’d only save a few hundred a year in gas versus my current Civic. The question is what value do I place on the psychological benefits of increased safety, lower pump anxiety, and saving the world on the way to work?
If I do decide to pull the trigger (probably not a good analogy since I'll likely have to wait months to get one – not to mention the fact that Piercey Toyota is across the street from the county correctional facility), the final questions are trim and color. For me, the obvious choice is Two. It fixes the cheapest aspects of the One, for only $950 more, while avoiding the overly expensive gadgets of Three and Four, which are roughly $2k and $4k more, respectively.
And then there's color. For me, it basically comes down to same-old-spontaneous-combustion-black (both my cars have been black), absolutely unspontaneous white, or Habanero (pictured). Which for some reason I should probably see a shrink about is exciting me. Unfortunately, it's probably the only thing about this car that's exciting me now that I've driven it.
P.S. The photos above represent as close as I can get to the real Habanero color. The colors shown in the brochure are both inconsistent and wildly misrepresentative of real life. Of course, the photos above will only be accurate if you have a calibrated monitor.
Gimme … oh my GOD … where do I CUE-UP? ME WANTY!
After spending more than $500 bucks for a clunky mobile that does not fit into the average pocket, these future iPhoners will need to sign a contract and sign up for EDGE broadband service if they want to use the device's Wi-Fi functionality.
Otherwise, it's nothing but a coaster.
