Hugh Bell is known in the industry as one of the best steadicam operators around. He is very professional and has done of some of the smoothest and most effective shots in the game. He is a class act. I just wanted to give him a shout out and acknowledge his great work. Keep it up Mr. Bell!

We currently live in an amazing apartment here in Vancouver. It’s probably one of the best in our neighborhood (not the one above) at a very reasonable price. People are shocked when I tell them how cheap it is to rent.

Here is a small part of our view from our vancouver webcam

It wasn’t luck that got us this place, it was our super geekyness… To find this place we used combination of craigslist, rss, feedburner and gmail.

How to find an apartment using RSS and email:

1. Go to the city you want to live in on craigslist
2. Find the apartment section
3. Add your search criteria
4. Grab the rss feed for that page
5. Now pipe that feed into Feedburner
6. Activate email subscriptions on that feed
7. Subscribe to the feed via email
8. Confirm subscription

Now you’ll receive a daily email of apartments that match your criteria only. Just set it and forget it. You’ll automatically get results in your inbox. It took us three months of going through these emails every day to find out current place. Of course we weren’t in a rush to move out either.

How to find an apartment using Twitter:

1. Go to your the city you want to find on craigslist
2. Find the apartment section
3. Add your search criteria
4. Grab the rss feed for that page
5. Create a new twitter account
6. Now pipe that feed into twitterfeed using the new twitter account
7. Follow that new account with your old account

Good luck apartment hunting!!

In the spirit of ffff.at speed projects I created this the other day: http://AugmentedRealityWiki.com. I like the idea of just making stuff no matter how crappy at first. You just put something together quickly and put it out there. Don’t worry, be crappy! If you have an interest in AR (Augmented Reality) go check it out. Btw, if the URL isn’t obvious enough it’s a Wiki about Augmented Reality!

Tired of using Twitpic? Try this:

1. Go to your email account settings on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/account/?tab=email
2. Find the Flickr2Twitter upload email address.
3. Now email a photo or video to your unique Flickr2Twitter email address and the photo will upload to Flickr and a tweet will be sent to twitter with a link to that photo on Flickr.

The Subject line of the email will be BOTH the Flickr photo title and the Tweet.

You’ve only got about 116 characters for your actual Tweet because the rest will be a short Flic.kr URL itself.

You may also want to check out your upload by email settings to make sure your tags and privacy settings are correct as well:

Word to the wise: Be aware of geolocation settings on your iPhone… Flickr automatically picks up the EXIF data in your photos so if you have location services on for photos on your iPhone they will automatically show up on your Flickr map… You wouldn’t want to tell everyone where you live!? Or would you…

Also if you want to migrate from Twitpic to Flickr use this Twitpickr. (limited to yur last 25 pics)
