4. Hey, we were right near each other! I found myself, too.

I was in the same area back there near the clump of trees, but I was all the way back against the fence. Probably walked right past you.

I love gigapan.org. I use it in my digital arts class.

7. Good for you. I thought it was great when I found myself in a big crowd shot of an Obama rally
here where I live, but it wasn't from any 1474 mp shot.

9. Explanation from the guy who made it here:
http://davidbergman.net/Obama.html

What surprised me was that he used a Canon G10. Its their high end P&S.

The detail could have been quite a bit more impressive I suspect, if he had used a decent DSLR and lens.

11. I used the image to prove to my boss I was there. He said I just wanted the day off.
It was funny. He said to me last week, "Come clean, there is no way you went down there"

18. The Bush twins don't look too happy either. Laura looks happy though....
She has a shit-eating grin on her face: "yeah I know he's an asshole...."

19. Cool but just a little bit more than Big Brother creepy...
this is just for kicks folks but just think about this kind of technology tied to facial recognition software for instance - who were you sitting next to? what were you wearing? etc., etc.


How come I feel like somebody's watchin' me? -Rockwell

Every breath you take, every move you make I'll be watching you - Sting

I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse - Sting

After a hard day, I'm safe at home
Foolin' with my baby on the telephone
Out of nowhere somebody cuts in and
Says, "Hmm, you in some trouble boy, we know where you're been - The Eagles

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't Need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind - Alan Parsons Project
