Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo.
Seadragon is an incubation project resulting from the acquisition of Seadragon Software in February. Its aim is nothing less than to change the way we use screens, from wall-sized displays to mobile devices, so that visual information can be smoothly browsed regardless of the amount of data involved or the bandwidth of the network.The Seadragon team is currently tuning its DirectX implementation, making the most of the new Windows Media Photo format, and cranking on the Photosynth Technology Preview.

YouTube user mutlunatic playing the hang, or hang drum. From Wikipedia:
A hang (pronounced ‘hung’ or ‘hong’) is a melodious percussive musical instrument, similar to a steel drum. It uses many of the same physical principles to operate. However, since it is struck with the fingers, the sound is generally much softer than a steel drum, and can be played in many ways to produce a large variety of sounds.
Hako Robo 水曜日, 5月 23 2007
Cool and funny and gadgets 6:36 pm
These are Hako Robo (Robots-in-a-cube) by toymaker Sega Toys. Not only are they cute desktop accessories, but they simulate real-life family relationships by moving in relation to each other, depending on who favors who, who protects who, etc. Did your mom bully you while your dad ran away? Did you always tag along with grandpa because he was a guiding source in your life? Watch how these robot families interact: As soon as you take them out of your case, they start running towards each other, away from each other, or a few steps behind. And like any family, they get stressed out and exhausted if they spend too much time together, so you have to put them back into their boxes before they pass out.
家族間の関係性を再現する玩具なのだそうで、非常に興味深いが、何故か公式HPにはそのようなことを説明してる箇所が殆どない、というか分りづらい。

Terrorism: Ron Paul vs. Giuliani @ SC Debate – YouTube via digg
Ron Paulは共和党候補者の中では唯一のイラク侵攻反対派だそうだ。しかもBushのお膝元であるTexasの議員らしい。
“We need to look at what we do from the perspective of what would happen if somebody else did it to us.”
“My argument is that we shouldn’t go to war so carelessly. When we do, the wars don’t end. “
いいこと言っていたのに横からGiulianiが口を出してきて台無し。共和党支持者が多いせいか、そっちの方がウケてるし。
“The crowd cheered for Guliani because he spoke succinctly and with familiarity.”
“The crowd cheered for Guliani because it’s a Fox News sponsored debate with a neoconservative friendly audience there to watch other neoconservatives debate.”
