How the censoring will work:
Remembering Steve Jobs
A true visionary, innovator and creative. He will be missed.
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
- Steve Jobs
iPhone 4S
The new iPhone 4S has:
- the Siri talking assistant feature
- an enhanced camera
- a much faster processor
- the ability to support GSM and CDMA
But, I’m going to wait for the next iPhone (hopefully iPhone 5) before upgrading. =\
Rooftop QR Codes
Ever heard of Blue Marble? If not, it’s a marketing service offered by an Austin, Texas based firm, Phillips & Company, that puts QR codes on rooftops.
Blue Marble™ is a patent-pending marketing service offered by Phillips & Company that enables any business to transform its rooftop into a space-accessible billboard by integrating a dynamic QR code into the physical site, taking an aerial or satellite image from space and making it accessible in leading navigation applications like Google Earth® and Google Maps®.
It’s an interesting idea, although I’m not sure if I see it being the most effective form of advertising. In theory, yes, it could reach a large audience, but realistically the people who end up scanning the code are probably those stumbling upon it on accident. It takes about a year for the QR code to show up on Google, so it’s possible that could change in the future.
Doodling, FTW!
Growing up, my mother has always told me I was a doodler and writer. I didn’t believe her until she pulled out a giant box full of notebooks, sticky notes and scratch paper with squiggles, diagrams and random thoughts written down that spanned from my childhood and throughout my college years. Two thoughts ran through my head. 1) “Wow, my mom saved all this stuff?” and 2) “Wow, what was I thinking??”
Good to know that all that brainstorming and doodling was productive. =)
Experimenting with Lenses
I recently got the 50mm f/1.8 G lens and took it to Discovery Green to test it out.
These were my favorite pictures from the evening.
