CleVR Panoramas


I thought this was pretty neat - a site which allows you to stitch photos together into a panorama online, and also hosts them there for your guests to view. The flash viewer has a pretty neat feature - it allows for clickable hotspots, which will take you to a new panorama.

http://www.clevr.com

View this panorama for example - which will give you a full 360 degree tour of someone's home.

Click and drag to pan around inside the panorama, and click on the hotspots to move to another room... neat!

Online Photo Editing


As great as it is, there are times when Photoshop is just plain overkill.

Maybe you simply need to nuke some red-eye before emailing a photo, or fix the exposure on a snap you’ve already put on Flickr. Picnik to the rescue!

Crop, rotate, resize, one-click fix, color adjustments, sharpening, saturation, even histograms. 95% of the stuff you’d do in Photoshop, you can do in Picnik more easily. Grab photos straight from your Flickr (and replace them with edited versions), from your computer, or the web; send your edited photos to your blog, to email, photo sharing sites, make a nifty slideshow, or even have them printed.

Picnik is fast. Better, it’s easy peasy, free, and filled with friendly features. (Example: Unlimited undo. Even for photos you edited months ago. Not even Photoshop can do that.)

Touring the GIMP

Touring the GIMP



The GNU Image Manipulation Program (the GIMP) has been called
"Photoshop for Linux". While the GIMP is not just for Linux and is not
an Adobe Photoshop clone, it is a very powerful image manipulation
program. It is clearly on the other end of the spectrum from TuxPaint
as far as capabilities.


In this first article, Micheal offers a tour of the cabilities. If
you are like me, the GIMP seemed intimidating because it has so many
capabilities. This article will help you get more comfortable with all
the possible things you can do without getting buried in details. In
subsequent articles we will explore some specific capabilities.

A Brief History of Star Trek Games

From a cult classic of 1960s television to present-day blockbuster, Star Trek has managed to maintain a sizable audience over the decades; and add to it consistently with strategic changes to the formulae that makes it so popular. One of the most prominent reasons for Star Trek's success is its ability to cobble together so many different facets of storytelling into one neat package to appeal to a broad, but not disconnected, audience.

helps you organize your audio files, edit tags, and easily retrieve
missing album art. It can rip CDs to any number of formats (including
cult faves like FLAC and OGG), convert existing audio files to any

Share any size file with MediaFire

mediafire.png

Web site MediaFire is a free file hosting service that allows
unlimited file sizes and uploads, as well as unlimited downloads of
files.



The service is really well made, especially the upload progress
page, which gives you a nice view of your upload progress, speed, and
estimated time to complete the upload. Add to that the unlimited
everything for free, and you've got what looks like a pretty saucy file
sharing service. In the wake of YouSendIt migrating to more of a pay
service, a lot of readers have been looking for a new host; while there
are a lot of options available (see the comments), MediaFire is the only one I've seen with the unlimited upload size. -Adam Pash
