This quote from The New Yorker begins an article on how the web is wreaking havoc on pop CDs , but it’s having the opposite effect on Classical CDs.

Like many people, I started blogging out of an urgent need to procrastinate. Yet a nagging sense of possibility also drew me in.

Very cool

Watch all the way to the end.

This is the kind of thing Photoshop artists do all the time, but when it’s automated, it feels more “real” to the average Joe. The feeling that a photograph represents “reality” has been under pressure for a long time, but this video (especially the last part) shows images to even more malleable than most people think.

Gotta love it. No, I’m not worried for my job. While this feels like a quantum leap, it’s really just one of a deluge of advances coming soon.

The tornado was in a different part of Brooklyn so it didn’t touch my neigborhood.

My commute was a nightmare though. Waiting on the subway platform in the wet, underground heat for 45 minutes. I waited at least 1 hr 15 min, in the over-crowded train too, but at least that was air-conditioned.

NY Times

Another Brooklyn blogger

I love NY.

Since I was nowhere near the action, this is the only photo I took:

I did a trip with Eagle Condor and found the experience to be rewarding in ways that I hadn’t expected, it was energizing, as well as being fun.

The NY Times has done a piece on Humanitarian Travel. This is a topic that I plan to spend a great deal of time on. Once again, I can’t say enough good things about my experience in Peru.

Random, badly shot, videos I took with my Canon s70. Also, random, better shot photos I took.

By the time it occurred to me to use the video feature, the incredibly loud, jet-like sound was gone. That sound is probably the reason my workplace was evacuated, otherwise, I doubt we would have noticed it, even though we were two blocks away.

First attempt. Yes, wishful thinking.

More accurate. Except for the hair I suppose.
