I just wanted to say that I’ve been visiting your website for a few weeks now, and I really enjoy it. Keep up the good work.

This article is interesting, but what is that thing? I’ve never heard of it before.

realtime digital photo edge detection:
i think you need the hardware to take the pictures,
matlab sourcecode from the designer that looks easy to copy into c/java/perl: ftp://ftp.merl.com/pub/raskar/NPR/SourceCode/

check out page 4 for the cool prototype design: exposed wiring and lots of wire-ties :) what’s in the yellow box? circutry to switch the flashes and trigger the camera? any insights on what that would be?
it would be cool to make a box with the flashes to put a camera in without cutting apart the camera.

anyone know why the skysite.com page (the one for finding the wireless weatherbaloons in a geocaching way) hasn’t been updated in a long time? program still ongoing?
