It's Not Perfect, But It's Still Pretty Cool


I'm a regular reader of Lifehacker - a blog about 'tech tricks, tips, and downloads for getting things done'. There was a post last week about stitching photos into panoramas with a free program called Hugin.

I took a few pictures on my run in Central Park this morning and put together a panorama of the Reservoir. I didn't have time to make it perfect (matching exposure, for example), but I think the results are cool all the same. The panorama is an assemblage of 4 photos - three of which are blended together seamlessly.

The software seems pretty easy to use and should be even easier once I have time to read the instructions! The lifehacker post has a good walkthrough of how to put together your own panorama in Hugin.

Funny story about the source of the maple syrup smell that has periodically occurred in New York City: Map of the Day: NYC's Official Maple Syrup "Odor Reports" . Most interesting to me is that the mystery was ultimately solved by overlaying calls to the city's 311 line on a map with dates and prevailing weather patterns (check the link for a detailed picture).

A '59 Seconds' Exercise in Motivation and a 2010 Resolution

For a couple of weeks in 2008, during the peak of training for the Chicago Marathon, I was at my target weight: 165 pounds. Given the aftermath of all the running I did in 2008, 2009 was not a great year for running. I'm back on track now, though, and eagerly looking forward to the NYRR Manhattan half-marathon in a couple of weeks. I'm recommitting myself to achieving my target weight, and I'm using the steps outlined in the Motivation chapter of 59 Seconds: Think A Little, Change A Lot to focus my efforts. It's a fun book that I highly recommend. The key steps include: 1. Identify the overall goal 2. Create a step by step plan to achieve the goal (including specifics on how each step will be achieved and how you will reward yourself as each step is achieved. 3. Specifically identify the benefits of achieving the goal. 4. Tell lots of people about your goal. That's what's happening here, by the way..... For more background, check out this post on Wiseman's
