Photosynth: next-gen image viewing
Very cool software called Photosynth that let's you view related pictures as a 3D model of what they're representing. You have to see it for yourself to understand which is both good and bad. Check it out: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=46&p=2&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=afe093ae-b780-4ee0-b0f1-897dfd42f0f9&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2f3%2f9%2f0%2f3902e391-734e-470f-806b-4d779f07749f%2fPS_DEMO_320x180_1MB.wmv

She said *what*?
So today I was on two different email threads where the subject of the thread mysteriously changed mid-thread. The first one was innocuous enough--"forum" was misspelled as "foum" got changed to "foam". Odd that it changed but nothing more than a raised eyebrow warranted there. The second one, however, went from talking about WPF UI's to "Wife User Interfaces". Whoa--suddenly Not Safe For Work.
Still not sure how these happened but you might want to keep your eyes out for similar behavior. Based on my experiences today, "photos of WPF in forum" could suddenly become "photos of Wife in foam" which might not be the message you want to send to your boss/client/mom. yikes.
