Image Resizing of the Future August 22, 2007 9:36 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Of Interest, Programming, Technology, VideoWow! Seam Carving Image Resizing. Take time to watch this (that link is a better video but at its quota…youtube link here) particularly if you are a programmer or artist. The people removing at the end is remarkable!!
Of course, this mirror made of wood is pretty cool too. If you aren’t sure what you are watching in that one, I’ll explain. There is a camera in the middle of this frame with 830 tiles mounted to 830 servos. There is a light angled from the top onto the tiles. The software interprets the image the camera sees and changes the angle of the tiles so that each one reflects a different amount of light thereby simulating pixels and creating the ability for the wood tiles to form an image. Very cool!
Update: This is a hot topic! See also.
UPDATE: Resize your own images online demo.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Publishing, Video- Check out this video tribute to video websites. Sums them up quiet well!
- Excellent commercial! Must watch to the end because you won’t see it coming. I bet you watch it twice!
- Dell’s Linux ad. Watch the background. Look for penguins, tuxedos, top hats, and other antics. Thinking of switching to Linux? read these insights.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Publishing, VideoPhillip has gotten all modern on us and posted a video which encourages video comments. Can anyone figure out why Phillip’s female readership is HUGE? My comment is below:
I will extend the same offer as The Blue Sloth. If you submit a video comment, I’ll get it onto this post somehow. You will need to record your video below then cut and paste the code into the comments section.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Humor, News, Of Interest, Philosophy, Publishing, VideoThis made me laugh so hard today! I have watched it over and over and over. Tommy Chong! You’re my hero!
Jazz from Hell has some additional words and the original MSNBC interview with Contessa Brewer regarding Paris Hilton to put this in perspective.
Update: For those who have’t watched the original MSNBC interview, Colbert’s very direct question to Chong is mocking Brewer.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Humor, Of Interest, Philosophy, Publishing, VideoLast night Jon Stewart brought it home. He nailed it for me last night. I laughed until I cried. It was so subtle. Did you catch it?
Paul Rudd, "I have a feeling that in the entire history of Comedy Central I’m the first person that’s ever said ‘pump out a Rene Auberjonois‘"
Jon Stewart, "There’s actually uh Carlos Mencia does it as a recurring bit."
Paul Rudd, "I knew I’d heard it before!"
So why’s it so funny? Read this exceptional article, Take the Funny and Run in full to really understand the joke. For those that don’t want to click over, here’s the brief:
Rogan, who refers to Mencia as "Carlos Menstealia," claims it’s common knowledge among his fellow funny men that Mencia takes bits from other comics and performs them as his own. [Source]
5commentsAnyone who has ever performed stand-up is familiar with the red light, the universal signal that warns dawdlers it’s time to wrap things up. In the ’80s, comics at the Hollywood Improv came up with a novel use for the light. When shining steadily, it had the conventional meaning. But if the bulb began sputtering, it was the comedic equivalent of an air-raid siren, warning performers to lock up their original material immediately unless they wanted to lose it to a master thief.
Robin Williams, comedy’s most notorious joke rustler, was in the house.
…the famed Comedy Store in Los Angeles has even instituted a Mencia early-detection signal similar to the Improv’s for Williams, though considerably less high-tech. "Every time he walks in, the guys in the cover booth just start yelling ‘Mencia’s here!’"
