Nice photo mate! Well done! Do you have a wide angle lens or did you take that photo in sections?
- Ahmed Ibrahim
I love my hashtags indeed, hahaha the only way in Twitter to have a conversation. The pic is made from 7 other images all nicely mixed together. Great that you like it.

I'm working on getting a video up with Bill Storage (a friend of mine I've known since the mid 1990s -- he's a long-time programmer and entrepreneur) because how he does these gigapixel photos really rocks (you need Microsoft's Silverlight to see them in full glory). His site is at http://www.bstorage.com and his Twitter stream is here: http://twitter.com/bstorage

these are way cool, did you see the one at the inuagration?
- chaz2b
Oh, and he's the only guy I know who has had a naked Victoria Secrets model in his house naked and has the beautiful pictures to prove it (I don't think he has any of those online, but I'm trying to convince him). His wife helped him shoot the photos. I asked him how he kept it together with such a beautiful woman naked in his apartment and he said he was too nervous about doing a good job with the photos that he focused on the work and not on her. A better man than me.
- Robert Scoble
chaz2b: yeah, that was cool. Bill is trying to find a better robot so he can use even longer lenses. He's a real innovator in trying to increase the resolution and he always comes up with interesting stuff.
- Robert Scoble
His Flickr photos are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos... -- he loves doing cave work too. Spelunking, I think they call it. Really is a nut about that. His photos of caves are stunning.
- Robert Scoble
thanks, and after i saw the resolution of the inuagration shot(s) i dont know how much better they can be (wow)
- chaz2b
Spelunking videos would be neat. My bro is too cheap to buy his own camera.
- coldbrew
Chaz2b: he's trying to build a robot that will use 400mm lenses, which would get the resolution even tighter than it is today. Plus he got a Canon 5D MKII. He is so precise he was able to show me resolution differences between the Canon lenses. Also, in one of the photos his wife is on the balcony of their apartment. You can't see her with the naked eye, she's so far away.
- Robert Scoble
wow, and i was impressed being able to tell thet VP Cheeny was in a wheel chair at the inuagration from how ever far away he was while taking the pics. thats some incredible info, thanks.
- chaz2b
Mr. Storage's gigapixel photos. Makes sense.
- Odi Kosmatos
yes! we used one of the inauguration in our class to explain size of images and why it matters. Then my friend played "where in the crowd is Yo-Yo Ma?" with his students :) super cool

THANK YOU for demonstrating that my family isn't the only one to do that! I ended up spending hours with that on one tab and familysearch.org on another filling in gaps.
- Jay Wiegmann
My family has about 1200 people entered into the site. About 850 of them are still alive.
- Sam Pullara
I too have a family full of Geni lovers, works very well
- Phill Price
All it takes is for one or more Genealogy obsessed relatives to get wind of it and you are set. I started with about 80 and we now have over 900.
- Peter Kelley
I use Geni too. An amazing site indeed. Now have my entire family mapped out.
- Nick Humphries
this is pretty awesome and especially useful. Right now, we're all geographically separated so this is a nice project to pass around the family.

I tried to get everyone to use it, but alas, everyone in my family is afraid they'll be found on there somehow and their identity will be stolen. If MY identity hasn't been stolen yet I'm pretty sure there's won't be.

My family got started a while ago but we stopped adding to it recently. Thanks for the reminder that it's out there. I'll get excited about it again.

I liked geni.com very much but couldn't much buy-in/participation with my family.
- Cornelius Toole
How does this differ from ancestry.com?
- ComicList
That is true, Geni is a well done piece of website. B4 that I thought I had a small family...

Thanks for showing me that link. I've got my family on it now!
- Joe Storm
Good indicator that i need to work out: watching this makes me feel tired
- Dan Hsiao
Well, honestly the jumping stuff is OK in moderation, but to base a whole workout on it is kind of asking for trouble. Better to include some explosive, jump movements with more traditional squat and lunge moves. P.S. I'm a former Personal Trainer.
- Zach Landes
I prefer the throwing people training called Aikido.
- iTad
I'm not in shape enough to do any of those.
- Vince DeGeorge
Guess who's going to have knee problems later on, particularly patella tracking issues... Most of those exercises were good, but quite a few were too hard on the knees.
- Raoul Pop
So far it looks suspciously like PT... and yes, my knees are now shit

the problem is to remember all that stuff before going to exercise. No way I will be able to remember it.
- Loic Le Meur
Yoga is a better option. You're moving slowly but it involves more muscle groups and requires balance. Anyway, you need some sort of stretching routine to warm up before you try this explosive movement stuff.
- Bill Koslosky, MD
Yoga doesn't provide the same benefits of the explosive nature of these types of exercise, which are intended to be performed very late in a training cycle when you're in good-enough shape to be able to handle them without injuring yourself. They will be hard on your knees if your body isn't prepared for them, and even for someone who is, they won't have knee problems later on if they do them correctly.
