Chris Gulker: PhotoPhoto channel for Weblog(Untitled)- March 29, 2004 The 5,000 MPH X43: NASA's scramjet, flew successfully yesterday afternoon for the first time. How it works. Whoaa...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/29.html#a2166 (Untitled)- March 27, 2004 Media types: pictured above are the Rosetta Stone (left), a text document; a page from a Gutenberg Bible, a rich text document with illustration; and a front page from the L.A. Times, a rich text document with illustrations, on a tablet PC displayed in the Kent Format, a PDF standard for news delivery. Allow me to advance the case that the big jump, from a content standpoint, is from Rosetta to Gutenberg. The tablet PC, indeed, all of our monster-power, high-bandwidth-connection PCs...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/26.html#a2164 (Untitled)- March 26, 2004 Work, tonight: I had to scramble to yank the Leica out of its bag to snap this as I walked to my car. The gray clouds, the rainbow, the incoming airplane, the flag waving in front of San Jose Civic, the low sun glinting from windows angled just so ... It was a bit more magical standing there... the jet was loud, the rain was pounding down...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/25.html#a2163 (Untitled)- March 25, 2004 The Moon and Venus were pretty as I left work last night...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/25.html#a2162 (Untitled)- March 22, 2004 The Allen Array, 350 radio telescopes to be sited at Hat Creek in Lassen National Forest received a $13.5 million grant from Paul Allen. Run under the auspices of the SETI Institute, with additional funding from Nathan Myhrvold, the array will permit simultaneous use both by SETI researchers and radio astronomers. The whole budget - about $50 million - will be much less than other 'big science' projects...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/21.html#a2155 (Untitled)- March 20, 2004 Glorious day in Menlo Park. Snapped this oak on Stanford campus as Cassie and I went on our walk this AM. Spouse is out of town this weekend... planning essential activities like a visit to Fry's, Keeble & Shucat Photo...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/20.html#a2151 (Untitled)- March 18, 2004 Pretty again, tonight, as I left work around 7:00. Shot this photo in RAW format (a 9 MB file) on the Leica... had to DL a Photoshop CS updated Camera RAW (2.1) plugin to read it in Photoshop CS. Curiously, the software Leica offers with the camera doesn't read the RAW format the camera produces (Ouch... for this I paid extra). Level 3 of the Adobe parking garage has a great view...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/17.html#a2147 (Untitled)- March 17, 2004 Teresa 2.1.2 OS will be running the NS-5 domestic assistant that I ordered today. Comes standard with a terabyte of RAM: I ordered mine with the Shop for Groceries, Mow the Lawn and Manage Finances option. Gave it a nice paint job, too...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/16.html#a2143 (Untitled)- March 16, 2004 Adobe sunset: the view as I left work this evening. The building is HP Pavilion in downtown San Jose...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/15.html#a2142 (Untitled)- March 15, 2004 Fannie Lou Hamer was the civil rights worker who famously said "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired." The daughter of sharecroppers, her eloquence and courage made her a leading voice for racial equality in the 1960s. We were reading an account of her life in Robert Ellsberg's All Saints last night, and came across this quote: "Christianity is being concerned about your fellow man, not building a million-dollar church while people are starving around the corner. Christ was a...http://www.gulker.com/categories/photo/2004/03/15.html#a2141 |
