worldwide telescope

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

WOW!!!

Thanks to Nina I have read this article telling that a free software (the result of several years of hard labour by a small team at Microsoft Research) has been launched today and will effectively turn every computer that downloads it into a mini-planetarium capable of displaying high resolution images of millions of stars, planets and other celestial bodies.

The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a Web 2.0 visualization software environment that enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope?bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world for a seamless exploration of the universe.”

I am going to play aroud right now!! Or should I say when I arrive home? ;)

thanks Nina!

Yesterday I was messing around and typed “Salou” (the village where I grew up) into Flickr.com (in my opinion the best management and sharing application for photos and “long photos” :) )

To my surprise, instead of pictures of tourists red as lobsters, really nice pictures showed up, and most of them were taken by Aitor Escauriaza

May be a lot of photoshop but good ones anyway.

url is old-fashioned

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

The image below is a representation of this site in QR code, a two-dimensional bar code that allow its contents to be decoded at high speed (by a mobile phone for example). QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional code. Companies have started to give this code instead of traditional url’s…

You can get your own code for your site at www.tagmore.com

Select what information you want to encode: a website link, some text, or a phone number to dial, and turn it into a visual tag that can be scanned using a camera phone.
Simply start typing away the text you want converted and watch the mobile code being generated instantly.

Sorry, but if your site does not have QR code you are not cool anymore!

Wow! Oquiroga has just sent me a link to this.

You can click and drag to pan around and zoom in and out using the usual google map interface or view the map full screen

Is just a presentation but a company is currently working on a render farm of 250 or so processors for their London model and they expect to have it in movie form soon…

I can’t wait to see it live and finished!

“Say no to IE 6! Our current campaign focuses on assisting users in upgrading their Internet Explorer 6 web browser. This campaign will result in former IE 6 users having a more enjoyable experience on the web while (hopefully) creating a less stressful and complicated environment for web developers by hastening the retirement of an outdated browser.”

Only introductions left, so let’s do it quickly:
