I am starting a project and want to know if someone would like to help me do it. Once started we can develop a reset button for this economic structure.

Oh, absolutely! She listens to better music than Bill, too ... and works much faster. It would be neat if she decided to clean a bathroom, too, but I’ll take this ;-).

Friends from church are coming over tomorrow evening, so we’ll have to get the bathrooms usable.

These days the county usually has the deicers out well before the storm and the sanders as soon as possible on its tail end.

Not this time. Are they out of money?

The horse, in full harness, wore bells, and looking back, recalling his proud stance, I’m sure the horse was pleased with what he was doing.

I've often wondered about horses in that way. Not too familiar with them.

I have some psycho tape-users, too. I notice we’re out when I try to put together song sheets for Mass. Sometimes I can find a glue stick ...

"But movies filmed would probably have to be refilmed with 3D cameras. I'm sure they could be reprocessed as well, but that would require a LOT of work to be done right."

Done for the sake of 3-D alone, it wouldn't be worthwhile.

But a script rewrite, as is typically done, might be okay.

The ultimate transition will be to what I call holographic; it means that the action can not only be seen in 3-D, but that you can change your viewpoint as well.

This would mean that every item in the "film" would have to be identified in the database, just as we have adjustable type fonts. This would require enormous memory storage capacity, but it would also mean that "refilming" could be done at any time, with relatively straightforward computer operations.

Eventually, you'll be able to put your own faces into your favorite films, do your own voice-overs, and so forth.

The only thing beyond that is a voice-controlled computer system that can mix up a movie to your specifications on the fly. Just tell Robbie the Robot what you want to see.

Today's "enormous memory storage capacity" is tomorrow's floppy disk. And I remember when floppy disk capacities were considered enormous.

“She lived down by the racetrack, and all the horsemen knew her.” Say it fast...

We lived across the street from the local racetrack, and we would sit out on the roof of the bay window when the races were in town.

We also spent a lot of time at the track, petting the horses that were there, stabled for whatever reason. As a result, we learned to love and care for horses.

To this day, I love the smell of warm horseflesh. I love the velvet nose and the solid, sleek muscles of a thoroughbred, the tight, dense muscles of a quarter-horse, and the awesome warmth of riding bareback.

It’s been too long since I’ve been on a horse, and I know 30 minutes would stove me up for a week!!

Still, horses are awesome. Especially in snow. :o])

I like being around horses, too. It was fun when Anoreth was riding every week.

Flickr Hack Makes 3D Model of Any City in a Day

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/flickr_rome_3d_double-time.php

This research team developed a method by which to put millions of photos through an analysis engine that grouped them for geometric similarity, then calculated the relative camera locations, and used that data to turn the images into 3D models, and they did it all in a single day on a single desktop PC.  Millions of images into a few really decent models in one day without a render farm.  Sweet.

Now, if they can do this with random shots sourced from the internet, just imagine what could they do with a movie if all of the action were shot from a set of carefully planned locations. Each frame could be reproduced as a full-color 3D model that could be viewed from any angle. String them all together into a feature length movie.... Well, you get the idea.

This process also opens up the notion of virtual tourism.

Let’s say you’re on your exercise bike, wearing a display helmet. You could be pedaling around the hills of Rome, or those of San Francisco.

Time traveling, too, by using photos from a specific period.

Now get someone to work on the making of proper avatars, and we’ll be all set. (Special note: We discussed using avatars very early in the history of the Undead Thread. The ideas were interesting, but the technology wasn’t there yet.)

Do I have to pedal up Lombard Street?

Just finished watching “Starship Troopers 2” on Crackle. Not impressed; takeoff on the Alien(s) series, too dark and more.

I liked the TV series. It was digitized and geared for teens, but it was fun to watch. I’ll have to see if Amazon has it, since I have the original movie.

In the meantime, I’m off to bed. My eyes are burning and itching...my neighbor may be trying to tell me to shut up and go to sleep...

See you tomorrow!!

G’night! Interested in the TV series since I never even knew of it.
