Mowed the lawn. Or should I say, mowed the tall weeds living amongst the moss. (To be fair, there *is* some grass over in the corner.)

To be clear, my expectations re: Transformers 2 are set appropriately. I just want to see cool giant robots transform and blow stuff up. :-)

I guess I really am corrupting my children with lolspeak. It's a regular occurrence to hear "O Hai!" or "I has a corm" in our household. :-)

The thing I love about Autostitch (Windows and iPhone) is that it doesn't care if your images overlap perfectly. It just works like magic.

Autostitch, the best pano stitcher software I've ever used, has a great iPhone version. It's awesome.

Apparently, the iPhone 3GS geotags videos as well as photos. At least, iPhoto knows where my videos were shot. Cool.

When you email a video from the 3G S, it gets compressed to 480x360, about 800Kbps. Original/native video file is 640x480, about 3.5Mbps.
