Easter eggs always make me happy, and while I can run the browser
(except in VMWare, which barely counts), I have to share this one.

This was apparently at SIGGRAPH 08: It's pretty amazing technology, and could be a lot of fun to play with.
Google just released the beta version of a new browser, complete with a neat comic book about it. It sounds neat, and I'd love to play with it, but like everything non web based that Google releases, it currently only runs on Windows (and while you can build the source for Mac OS X, there is no such luck for Linux). This makes me a sad panda. Hopefully they get a GUI working on Linux in the near future.
(And I can't build it on my Mac, since the Mac build is Leopard only, anyways...)Dear internets, today I found a park on my morning run. And not just any park, a park with a view. And while I did run with Emma, I forgot to put my real camera in her stroller before we left, so we'll just have to do with a cameraphone picture, yet again.
Apparently NVidia had them do this stunt at the NVISION show. (From Laughing Squid, forwarded to me by a coworker.)
Involves some truly amazing nighttime shots of London taken from a helicopter.
When I went for my run yesterday, I took Emma with me, and I decided to run south on the Iron Horse trail, since I had crossed it in my morning runs, but I hadn't taken it anywhere. I was pleasantly surprised to find not one, but two bridges not too far down the trail. One of them goes over Ygnacio Valley Road, and other other one is right after it and goes over a canal of some sort. I of course had to take pictures, and while I have found that getting a nice level picture on my phone is hard, at least they do get the point across. (I need to get some sort of small runners pack to carry my camera and some water when I go running)
I took a picture of Miss Emma when I got home. Running is exhausting for her! ;)It's somewhat fortunate that I didn't get around to posting this yesterday. On my morning run today, I decided to run north on the Iron Horse trail, and I found another bridge. This one was over a rather large canal right by Monument Blvd.
So that's my running and bridge adventures for the last two days.
I've posted two videos (Emma with flag and Emma eating at Ikea), and its crazy awesome that they become nicely embedded flash videos. Sadly, they are not nicely embedded on my Livejournal that my posts are being copied to (see one and two). In this case, it would be much nicer if the posts actually liked to the posterous posts if embedding doesn't quite work yet. Also, I've noticed that the video quality on my cell phone is really nice when viewed on the cellphone, and then that fantasy goes away with the harsh pixelization of reality once viewed on the computer. ;-)
Emma acquired a flag today at home depot, so I took a video. Lets see what posterous does with it. :-)
