This is one of my favourite shots. The Wright Eclipse is seen fro mthe rear having a scrub down, looking clean and professional for the following morning service
Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
We chased this cloud from the Columbia up on the hilltops... and it just kept getting bigger! more on the story on previous photos... and processing help exchange on the one in comments... thanks everyone!
this shot is perhaps half an hour earlier than the pano shot below
The project begins with a 1980’s home-builder house fronting on lake austin. The original design did not harness views to the lake and Mount Bonnell, nor did it respect the ecological sensitivity of its site. The challenge was to develop a sensitive and inventive result out of a pre-existing condition. Through the use of glass, steel, detailing and light the home has been adaptively reinvented. Reflection, translucency, color and geometry conspire to bring natural light deep into the house. A new solarium, pool, and vegetative roof are tuned to interact with the natural context. Exterior materials and refined detailing of the roof structure give the volume clean lines and a bold presence, while abstracting the form of the original dormers and gable roof. Further connecting the home to its site, the roof begins to dissolve where a glass clad chimney and slatted wood screen stand in relief against the sky.

Funny story about coffee beans. A while back I was at Whole Foods and wanted to buy green coffee beans but they would not sell them to me. I asked why and the roaster said, "we do not want to ruin the integrity of our bean".
Specialty coffee roasters have a large markup. Wholesale green beans cost between $1-2 per pound depending on the bean. Once a bean is roasted it usually sells for $11-15 (and sometimes more) a pound.
If you ever want to buy green beans to roast you can use www.sweetmarias.com (I have made orders online and made purchases in the store in Oakland). Expect to pay between $4-5 lb but the point of roasting beans is not to save money, it is to get freshly roasted beans that give good crema.
A green bean lasts around 2 years, a roasted bean is usable for 2-4 weeks, and beans that have been ground last about 20 minutes. These guides are for optimum quality.

A lot of cleanup of the code to do (including refactoring it so that it can accept depth data from either SimpleOpenNI or Shiffman's Kinect library), but I'm pretty happy with these results. You can check out the current draft of the code here:
Pvt. Kyle Goddand, a Soldier assigned to Sustainment Task Force-16, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, helps a Soldier from the 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade process through the passenger terminal here at Mihail Kogalniceani Air Base, March 19. The MK Air Base Passenger Transit Center, which officially began running at full capacity March 1, is designed to move U.S. service members into and out of the Operation Enduring Freedom theater. The center is replacing the U.S. transit facility at Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan as the contract between the U.S. and Kyrgyzstan ends this summer. The Romanian air base has been operational, and the 21st has engaged in multi-modal transportation support there, for many years. But it was not configured to support the new transit center mission, which requires moving the thousands of troops and thousands of tons of cargo and supplies that accompanies the drawdown in Afghanistan.
