An Astute Observation

"Take a sentence, shift the punctuation by three words, and you have Williams Shatner's acting style."

Browsing San Marco

Andrew Pavlis sent me some information about the incredible Photosynth project Microsoft is developing. If they can get it to work, it's amazing. They had a demo at TED2007

Impressed? I am. I was also excited to discover that my laptop will run their demo software. Boo-ya.

"It Was Quite a Ride"

Universal Studios could use a new ride:

A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph.

He got the ride of his life.

I love the polite 9-1-1 call:

In a perplexed and deliberate voice, one caller said: "A semi-truck just came by, and he does not know it, but he has a gentleman on the front of his truck that's in a wheelchair, and he's pushing him down the road."

In case you were wondering, the wheelchair survived too.
