Again, only for those of you who don’t follow me on twitter, here’s a compendium of tweets from the last couple weeks:
——
TheBigPicture covers Yann Arthus-Bertrand: is.gd/3BpA His classic book “Earth From Above” (is.gd/3BuF) is magnificent, BTW #
Oh, and incase you didn’t notice it on the Big Picture blog, all those images have [map] link @ bottom to open googlemap of the location. #
Did you know that the string 777777777 occurs starting at the 24,658,601th digit of π? And my birthday’s around the 180millionth digit. # www.angio.net/pi/bigpi.cgi #
Coolest thing I’ve seen on the web all week: cellar.org/showthread.php?t=18334 Set the shutter speed on camera to 6 MONTHS! #
I love it when I can justify browsing around cool websites like this as ‘part of my job’ (sort of): is.gd/3KAh #
This is sweet – and nicely planned out. tinyurl.com/534bth
Photo of a chick embryo – do people find this weird or (like me) strangely beautiful? is.gd/3O1W #
fxguide just posted podcastinterview they did w/ me – visual effects geekitude & a bit of ‘I remember when’ oldfart stuff: is.gd/1nLE #
Re: fxguide interview – I feel bad that I totally spaced on mentioning Emmanuel Mogenet, the other primary developer on Shake. :-( #
Cool news for low light photography tinyurl.com/47m7wt #
The Big Picture of Sol: tinyurl.com/4hay23 #
According to glassbooth.org/ I should be voting Green party… but only barely – 1% more than Obama. Think I’ll factor in reality. #
Incidentally, that bump in twitter followers may have been due to an old blogpost getting picked up by reddit: is.gd/4jVy How random. #
Nice little bit of Greenpeace artwork: www.scaryideas.com/print/8973/ #
regarding old-time radio shows, X-1 and Dimension X featured an amazing array of classic SciFi stories adapted into radio plays. #
We need seam carving for moving images. One more thing that will eventually end up in the DI suite I expect. #
Jimmy Chen from Taiwan is the first person to find a typo in my new book. See here for details: is.gd/4G2D . Who’s next? #
Yeah, this is a bit weird/dorky/awkward… but the nostalgia value is worth it for me: tinyurl.com/5oz9mv #
Okay, just dropped my absentee ballot into the mail. Let’s hope that Obama isn’t revealed to be an alien/skrull/bodysnatcher b4 November 4. #
some interesting thoughts here (and in comments): is.gd/4Riw Ultimately I really wish we could get beyond a 2-party system ASAP #
