Northern California has been hit with one of the most intense first storms of the season in recent memory. Last night a quarter of a million PG&E customers were without power, an empty building collapsed at SFO, and many highways were closed. The jet stream was reportedly up to 200mph, and some of those winds were making down to ground level. Which reminds me -- how come there's no cubic panoramas of a torrential downpower or hailstorm? Seems like a challenge like underwater panoramas (I wouldn't recommend shooting in the rain/hail, as it probably would damage your lens, but someone may have found a way to protect their lens the way underwater cameras do). 8:00:01 AM

Need to make previews of hundreds of QuickTime movies? QiPo is a batch tool which creates an image containing frames from the movie, and works with .MOV, AVI, MPEG, and VR objects (QiPo stands for QuickTime in, Preview out utility.) 7:33:47 AM
