I’m Confused

Max Mosely, president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), has come out and says he feels he has lost dignity due to the revelations of his participation in an alleged Nazi-themed sadomasochistic orgy.<smh.com.au>

This is where I get confused, based on the above photograph, it appears that losing ones dignity is exactly what he wanted, so to me it sounds like he got great value for money, or have I missed some thing?

We miss you Calvin

I have always been a big Calvin and Hobbes fan. I can’t believe it has been 14 years since the last comic was published. (from Coffee and cigarettes)

Bondi Color Background

 

I was recently discussing with some one the colors seen around Bondi been very distinct. So I decided to see if I could create a color only background that evoked those colors. I used actually photos of Bondi to pull out the colors and the gradiant blend tool in GIMP. Feel free to download the image the above should link to a high res version.

Photosynth play

I had my first play with photosynth. I have to say I was looking forward to this for a while. My base images are of the castle in Ballinskelligs, Kerry, Ireland. I have visited there on two separate occasions in the past 2 years and taken a few pictures. While there are a lot of matches between many images photosynth has the lot broken up in a number of different groups. This means photosynth could not relate all the groups together, even though they are for a fact in the same location. It's good now that it is out I just hope that microsoft build on it, rather than put it on the shelf and forget it like a bad idea. I have a stack of images I took for stitching I have to run through to see how it performs.

D'ems fightin' words

I came across the article last week that detailed the genetic map of europe. Biologists have constructed a genetic map of Europe showing the degree of relatedness between its various populations.

I also keep an eye on the strange maps blog which posted the above image from the original article. However in part of the listed analysis on that blog states :

...the Irish population almost doesn’t show any characteristics that would distinguish it from the British one.

Jaysus, that's not going to go down well at all, at all!
