Sean Alexander pointed out a very interesting Microsoft Labs project whereby many similar photos can be put together to form a 3D model of an area, and browse into details of an area by using a composite of the photos.  As Sean points out, this sort of research could be applied very nicely by a photo-sharing site like Flickr.
They have a demo video up that shows St Peter’s Basilica at the vatican through the eyes of hundreds of similar photos.

Just saw a woman walking two muzzled pitbulls and a baby in a stroller. Not judging. Ok, yes I'm judging.

Giving up on renewing my health card. Two hour wait.

I screwed my back up three days ago. Now starting to get annoyed that it isn't getting better. So much to do!

At "Disney on Ice" in Toronto with the kids.

No more snow. :-( Lots of wind though, threw my steel patio table across the lawn.

Very pleased with Settlers of Catan (board game I received for Christmas). I can see this becoming an addiction.

Saturday 23:18

I've been fattened up on turkey and pie. All things considered, it's a "good fat".

Thursday 20:37

A very Merry Christmas to everyone who's still awake at the stroke of midnight. I'm settling in for my long winter's nap.

Il neige encore!

Weaseling successful. Shopping with my Buick float-a-boat (pretty sure that's the marketing name).

Trying to weasel my way into a loaner car so I can finish my shopping while the car is getting serviced.
