Offworld post about a new DS treasure hunting game. Finding the “treasure” requires you to roam the real world while your DS scans for wi-fi hotspots, which act as treasure locations, I guess. Sounds fun.

Gorgeous HD video of the Moon’s surface taken by the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya. Since it’s completed its planned mission and observations, its orbit has been degrading. Lunar collision is expected in a couple days.

Photowalking

I started this other Tumblr to catalog my mission to learn photographic technique. I’ve been posting some examples on there. Framing and composition are my real goals at first (things I can do with any camera), then I’ll move on to more advanced techniques that require manual control. I’ve been taking shots and looking at the EXIF data to see what adjustments the camera is making to the ISO/aperture settings under specific conditions. Seems like a good way for a technical person like myself to learn.

Colette jokes that I’m competing with her, but believe me, she’s got no competition from me. I don’t have that eye that she’s got.

She looked as if she were telling the truth, though with women, especially blue-eyed women, that doesn’t always mean anything.
