You may have seen the konami-code easter egg on ESPN.com: magical unicorns and “sparkly” titles, oh my. If you missed them it is unfortunately because my poor boyfriend was tasked with removing them. Don’t blame him dear friends, blame stodgy management.
Poor unicorns, they never had a chance.

Androgynous ape,
An alien animal.
An amoral age.

My friend that works at Microsoft showed me an awesome new software. Basically what the program does is compare many, many pictures of the same physical environment (from may different angles) and then compares data points and aligns the photos on the planes from which they were taken and highlights data points that are common to many different photos. The result is an array of points in space that replicate the physical environment where the pictures were taken. The software allows you to navigate the virtual space and view the photos independently.
On a legal note, I personally think that the software has interesting potential uses for crime scene investigation, the cops could create a digital virtual environment of the crime scene which they could navigate as much later in the investigation (and from anywhere) as they wanted. In a similar vein, I think that Microsoft would be smart to do a product placement on a show such as CSI if they have any intention of marketing the software aggressively. Finally, I think that we will see very interesting photo projects coming out of the art community when the software becomes available.

As a first year law student patiently awaiting my first semester grades, imagine my horror at seeing the following message when I logged into Albert…
… and I thought my fear of administrative error was unfounded!

What’s wrong with this picture?
“Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is recovering after undergoing surgery for an injury he suffered during a shaving accident. The actor/singer severed a tendon in his right arm while shaving in the bathroom of a gym in the Sanderson Hotel in London on Thursday. Hasselhoff hit his head on a chandelier, which showered his arm with broken glass. Doctors operated on the injured tendon and the 53-year-old star spent one night at St Thomas’ Hospital in central London. According to his publicist, Judy Katz, ‘He’s fine. He’s out of the hospital and will resume filming tomorrow.’ The star is currently in London filming a commercial for a British Internet company.”
Exactly what sort of gym has a chandelier? How did he hit his head on it while shaving? The whole thing is just odd.
