Movie Reviews

Someone (thanks Mom) has been bugging me for a while to start reviewing the movies I watch (of which there is a fairly large number, I admit).

Okay, then.  Done.

Has anybody seen the bridge?

For the engineers among us - I saw a link to this post of bridge photos on another blog.  The Sao Paulo bridge is jaw-dropping, but the rest are kind of cool, too.

Photo Browser

A coworker of mine pointed me at a new plug-in for Firefox, Safari, (and if you must, Internet Explorer) called PicLens.  (I prefer Firefox, so here's the link to the plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579)

On websites it groks, it lets you browse through the images on a 3-D wall - you can scroll side to side, zoom in and out, or settle on a single photo.  It knows about Google image search, and it knows about Flickr, and some other common image/video sites, and any site can implement an rss feed that lets it work.

That means you can use it, for example, on Sarah's Photos.

It's still a bit unstable, but very fun to play with.
