The average human being will be substantially richer in 50 years, just as the average American today has a real income three times what it was in 1955. But the average human being will not have much more time in 50 years than today; and life expectancy has increased by only 10 percent in the U.S. since 1955, so for most people time has become relatively scarce compared to money.
I tought that the 21MP camera was the high end of mega pixels market, this new technology created by a group in Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania impresses me. It is cameras equipped in a tripod that does around 350 images in various angles and merge then all in computer to create a google-map-like gigantic panoramic photo.
Photo with zoom
Times Online says it creates a 3D image, but I disagree, is just a big image with big zoom. You probably already have seen some panoramic pics before, but they all need some brainstorm, a good gear and a good hand from the photographer after all. These scientist just made everything banal.
the image without zoom (one of these buildings)
Some of these images are available at Gigapan.org. I don’t see a big use for this technology, unless you want a 100 meters poster with really accurate details. The only good use will be in case of these google-map-styled photos.
Could you see the difference between an 8 Mega Pixel and a 1 Giga Pixel image (without using zoom)? Me neither… It still rocks anyway!
Some of you might remember when Bill Gates got an egg in the face. Now it’s Ballmer time! But no egg, unfortunately. See the video below before it gets deleted. Needless to say that I’m sorry for the eggs being missed.

If we’re supposed to believe in a God, and he wants us to believe in him, and the only way for eternal salvation is to believe, then why can’t he take 30 seconds to hop off his throne made of golden baby carcasses and pop in and have coffee with me tomorrow? Starbucks, 10:30, I’ll buy. If it’s such a big deal to believe, why is it not such a big deal to give a reason to believe in?
Once upon a time… This happened to be personal blog, but not blogging about my personal life, how exciting, huh?
After 2 year hiatus I think I’m going to write again. But now about my life too, not getting too personal, you wouldn’t see me blogging about relationship and things (i think that’s the only exception), but about my life in general.
This post is just to let you know (yes, you, who came from flickr profile and willing to see something interesting here and get disappointed) that I’m working on this blog layout, maybe will change the name, (cause jardel’s corner is über cool, but i already get a blog with this name), submitting it to search engines, technorati, etc; Redirecting from my blogspot old blog, trying to merge all my social profiles - that are plenty and not joking - here.
And I’ll try to write from the visual editor inside Wordpress now to get familiar, I’ve never used it before, and when I happened to travel or be without my pc, I get stucked, cause there isn’t a windows live writer in the lan house, nor a 1280×1024 screen.
I’ll be managing categories, tags, etc etc etc, hope you understand, c’ya!news
What if you needed to build a powerful web app, but you had only ten hours a week for programming? What if you wanted to write a novel, but you had to do it in 30 days? What if you wanted to create a computer game, but you had only 48 hours? What if you had to write, shoot, and edit a short film in 24 hours? Constraints can be your enemy, but when it comes to creative breakthroughs, they can be your best friend.
Kathy Sierra wrote on Creating Passionate Users about how pressure make us produce more, specially when it is about creativity, or maybe, only when it is creativity. Comparing some examples in the ART world, I agree with her, most of the time when I does something is under pressure, like “need to upload something to Flickr or Deviant urgent” and can tell you that this is what make my artwork 90% of the time, taking photos too is thinking in doing something later to upload, this maybe could look ridiculous for you, but for me is what keeps me motivated.
Most of the time with lot of things to do, specially if you don’t have full time for ART and work/study, creating imaginary deadlines can help, you try to keep your weekends and holidays in front of PC, on video-game or other things to avoid stress and have the fun you are awaiting for all the week during work/school, then you forgot to do something productive. But well, doing some ART when you have free time is completely non-stress and the result make you very happy (specially if you make money with your art).
My hint to you is creating deadlines. My example: I’m not a professional artist or something like this, but I does the best that I can, I try to update my Flickr at least every week, not few, it is the limit, or upload every week or you’ll lose your public. Yeah, I don’t have so much public but most of then like my art, what I does and the way I does it, so let’s keep them as my public, in future they can be my friends or maybe just people who appreciate it.
I try to constantly make artworks, for the people that like my art, and this always will make me keep doing artworks, not just hanging out weekends and holidays, doing something that I like and will be beautiful.
Don’t forget: “Today isn’t just another day. Today I’ll create something beautiful”
