Love the tree tunnel - Josh Haley

I would love to drive in the road on the right. - Sudar

AWESOME - Charlie Anzman

I think driving in the left road might be so adventurous. but lead to hospital :) - Mahdi Ebrahimi

If I could get on 95 and end up in Rome, I'd be one happy American. - Kim Gaskins

جاده خمین - امین

Seriously, you all think the road on the left is bad? I'm going to have to go find a map to post of something called "The Tail of the Dragon" =D BRB - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Tina: It's not 'bad' per se. Just that high speed travel will kill you. Now, if only I still had my bicycle... - Vijayendra Mohanty

تو این جاده (عکس1) با سرعت 200 تا بری و تو جاده (عکس2) پیاده روی کنی. عجب حالی میده - Ata

I've never seen anything like the tree tunnel before! That is so pretty - Sheryl

Sometimes it feels like, every road leads me back to you... - Zahra-Raoros

راه تو را فرا فرا میخواند - مهدی ــ علاقبند

Mike -- I was under the impression that all PIRSA talks became available at midnight, but I was happy to discover that the workshop talks were available some time before 6pm EST (which means that I can actually watch them in the UK on the day they're given). The quality was good except for suboptimal audio during Sabine's talk. - Robert Spekkens

Rob - I spoke to Jacob (who does A/V), and he said he noticed, and it is apparently a problem with some equipment that's just been installed. He said it should be be better now. - Michael Nielsen

totally awesome that they're available as mp3s! - Stephanie♥CogSciLibrarian

I'm really enjoying the fact that I can attend this conference vicariously by watching all the talks on PIRSA. It's an interesting experience. I've been working normally during the day and watching the talks in the evening after they become available in the UK. I dedicate about 3 hours + to the conference every day. That's less than would be required to watch all the talks because I can fastforward through the bits that are less interesting to me. Basically, if I'm not interested or I'm already familiar with some point that the speaker's making, I jump ahead a few minutes and listen in for a bit to see if she's moved on to the next topic. If I find that I've missed something interesting, I just rewind a bit. It works surprisingly well. I'm finding that almost all the talks at this conference are really interesting (it's a great conference), so I'm not motivated to do a lot of compression. But I can think of conferences I've attended where I would have been ruthless with the fastforward on a lot of spea - Robert Spekkens

Mike -- Could you mention to Jacob that Harry Collins' talk doesn't work on PIRSA. (I presume that Steve Fuller's talk isn't available because it was given by video link.) Thanks. - Robert Spekkens

Rob - Apparently Harry's talk wasn't recorded; there was a problem of some kind, so it won't be going up. Glad you're enjoying the event. - Michael Nielsen

That's a great shame - it was a really good talk and very difficult to liveblog - the Friendfeed commentary of Harry's talk is at http://friendfeed.com/e/773a5f... and there are links to his website there - Cameron Neylon

Wouldn't the presence of a companies HQ skew the data so that city/region would come out on top? I know that we have people in our marketing dept. google our name to see what pops up - and lo and behold - the city where we are HQ'd is #1. A random company - Lockheed Martin - indicates that the top Google searches are all around where their company locations are....Just a random thought.... - George Smith

George: Of course it would. Zillow is a great example. But even with that, there are many examples here where that's not the case. - Louis Gray

It's an interesting data set - I just don't think having a SF area based #1 is a sign you haven't jumped. iTunes obviously has. As has linkedin. I love google trends - but think this data set is a mixed bag. - George Smith

is this all that surprising?? - Jeremy Toeman

@Jeremy: First paragraph: "unsurprisingly, the San Francisco Bay Area is disproportionally weighted". So no, not a surprise. :-) - Louis Gray

Touché - but your headline sure makes it seem like a question, eh? :) - Jeremy Toeman

I keep hearing of these incidents - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ

Of course, if they delete pictures you can get them back. Take the card out and don't take any more pictures on it. When you get home there are any number of recovery programs that will recover the photos. Sometimes it's just easier to back down and show them you're deleting the pictures, then restore them when you get home and tell your story. Otherwise, the whole camera might get impounded and you'll never get the photos back. - Kevin Fox

You would think that there was enough other crime to deal with in Florida without cops wasting their time bullying photographers? - Brian Sullivan

Wish I could say this surprised me. I'd buy the fact that he was upholding security measures if his issue were that the photographer was photographing a sensitive area ... but this guy got caught probably doing something that's in direct violation of the rules of his shift. Or maybe he was worried that the picture made his ass look big ... which it does. - Cathy Brooks

This makes me want to spend a weekend taking pictures in Miami. With a thousand or so of my closest camera-toting friends. - Chris Baskind

Things like this greatly frustrate me. It's beginning to sound a lot like a police state around here. - Geoff Schultz

Kevin, is there a program you use for this? I didn't know you could recover pics from a card. I thought once they were gone, they were gone for good. - David Cook

WHY?? WHY?? WHY?? lame-O - Susan Beebe

@David: if you haven't taken other pictures (or written to the card in other ways) after the deletion, recovery is easy. I've successfully used a free tool called PhotoRec in the past. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki... - Tudor Bosman

This is a shame. They were talking about this on TWIP a few weeks back and the guy actually stood up to the police. I believe they are gathering a bunch of Photographers to that spot in LA so they can all take pictures where they guy was asked to stop. - Matt Donders

Of course, this is also a good reason to get an Eye-Fi card. By the time you delete the photo it may already be posted to your flickr account! - Kevin Fox

wow those are some seriously disturbing stories. - Chris Jones via twhirl

Well, it's a start, at least. I really wish that Rogers would offer a reasonable explanation for their actions. So far, all they've managed to do is spew fluff such as "normal users won't really use that much", etc. - Bradley McSpinn

finally - thanks for not sucking rogers. - Cole Orton

Just be aware that the $30 is only the data plan; If I read this correctly, there's plenty of other charges that will be applied to owning that phone. (e.g. voice plan, caller ID, etc.) - Karnatos

@Cole: Rogers still sucks. It's still a 3-year contract and that's only a promotion. They should remove the time bomb! - Long Nguyen

still not gonna buy one, the 30 dollars only applies to data and i'm sure the voice plans still suck - Chris Jones via twhirl

silly Canadians... The U.S is still awesome - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ

Lets use this to start the I want a free breakfast from AT&T on Friday! :-p - Mark Hurley via twhirl

When is he gonna talk about photography? - Andrew Smith

So, what is the agenda for the summit? - Jorg Jansen

Jorg: Talk about digital photography. - Robert Scoble

Why does someone need to bang away on their keyboard when this is being recorded? - paul mooney

Your right! Very fun and interesting. Oh... and they have a firefox add-on. - "Czar" DJ Peterman

Awesome, thanks for the invite! - Ocean

Really? Surprised that Scobleizer *just* found this. - Ivan Stegic

I like the idea of new media search tools, especially in images and video. I love hearing people answer how they plan on making money, it very often seems to be a touchy issue. - Jeremy Campbell via twhirl

Ivan: they were too. Hey, I don't always see EVERYTHING. :-) - Robert Scoble

TinEye is really really REALLY cool. There's a huge potential there -- can't wait till the index more of the web. - Shey

Clever stuff. Signed up, thanks. - Simon Wicks

seems like a very cool tool. haven't found anything good enough to mark as "cool" but it's fun to see what comes back - Steve Long

Yeah, it's a really awesome tool... I bet it's hard to see a gem amongst the rough sometimes, Robert. Especially when you are wading through as much electronic waste as I am sure you are. Whew! - Ivan Stegic

thanks for the invite URL! - David Silvernail

This is a great service, been using it for a few months now. - Jacob Burke

Thanks for the link, the service seems really cool! - Sébastien

Jim Goldstein had an interview with Leila Boujnane from TinEye some time ago on his EXIF and Beyond Podcast (http://www.jmg-galleries.com/b...) - Antonio Marques via twhirl

Scobleizer: Man, everytime I look at that pic of you, I think of the Ghostbusters. Here's a search I just did on *that* pic, you really are omnipresent: http://tineye.com/search/2b56c... - Ivan Stegic

Nice! Thanks for getting FriendFeed the hookup, Robert. - Phil Glockner

Also a big thanks from me for the invitation! Up to now I wasn't too impressed with image searching... - Arnd Gronenberg

Signed up for TinEye. Thanks! - Morton Fox

Looks like a great service..thanks for the hookup.. - Darryl

I've been using them for more than a month now, they really do amazing stuff. - Yuval Atzmon

Scoble would have known about Tinyeye a lot sooner had FriendFeed been around sooner :) Glad you found them though. They have really good potential to be very powerful and useful. - Justin Korn

A very cool tool indeed, especially if you need to keep track of where images are going around the Web... - Chris Reed

I just registered. This is a really neat tool! - Candace Holly

The firefox add-on is great.. - Darryl

they should offer the ability to sort by image size - would be immensely helpful - Nathan Chase

"Password may only contain alphanumeric characters " - :-( - Jordan Hofker

great tool - Tom Quinn

Robert, I embedded your Qik video in my latest blog post: http://www.scribkin.com/2008/0... - Phil Glockner

Great! Thanks...trying Star Trek matches - Kevin Benson

I just tested Tineye to find an art print I've been looking for. I actually found it. This print is dated to the 90's and has been discontinued for years. I was pretty happy to find what I was looking for. - Candace Holly

Explanation: "In January 2007, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught has now returned to the outer Solar System and is now only visible with a large telescope. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework." - Andrew Baron

wow indeed - Michael W. May via twhirl

مثل ساحل لاست میمونه :دی - Mil∂d
