Panoramic

I found this new thing on the web. It is call Photosynth.
This program find points of similarity from a number of photos and merge them into a simulated 3D image.

Here are few of my creation from the pictures that I took in Hong Kong.

Photosynth was featured in an episode of CSI: New York where the CSI team used this program to form an in depth picture of a prom.

ART..... ARt...... Art...... art......

I just went to the senior art show downtown. The art works are wonderful!

Philip was there performing on a keyboard. There were also some food.

We had to vote our favorite piece. I couldn't decide. They were all so good.

My favorite art works from the show are by Erin and Alma-Lynn. They are very talented.

So easy a caveman can do it!

Last Friday was the Feats of Clay.

Woke up at 5:50 am. Arrived at the school at 6:35. We packed our wheels and other equipments onto the bus. We actually got a tag-along, who wasn't on the team.

Our theme is "we invented the wheel." We all dressed as cave people. Leopard spots pants and messed up hair styles. We also have dirt makeups and the guys got 'mono'brow.

The bus ride was fun. Every did their makeups on it. Layan made up us a theme song.

I forgot what time we arrived at Columbus. The events were at the art museum/institute parking lot. The temperature was initially a bit cool, but after we starts and in the tent of crowed people, it became mild and comfortable.

The Cylinder Stacking was first, then the Mug Relay, after that is No Hands, last but not least, the Coil to The Sky.

The mug team made 80 some mugs. In general, we won sixth, but we won, with our caveman costumes, the first place in the T-shirt contest.

After that we say around a gallery and enjoy the beautiful artworks. They all look wonderful!

We ate lunch at The North Market. People were staring at us as we walked around looking for stuff to eat. There was many variety of foods there, from New York to Japanese, Italian to Mexican. I bought a nice freshly made New York style sub, named 'The Wise Guy', at a deli. It had ham, beef, cheese, tomato, and other goodness. There was also a few fresh fish, vegetable, fruit, and flower shops. There was on chocolate shop that the other kids said was really good, each small piece of chocolate cost $1.75. I would have bought one, but it was just too expensive.

I was so tired but I still had Relay for Life to do. We arrived back home around 6pm. I hurry home I ate the sub that I couldn't finished at the North Market. I also uploaded all my photos to my hard drive. I took 1GB worth of pictures, about 300 pics. It took 20 min.

Feats of Clay was fun, I may ponder upon if I shall participate in this event.

Guys and Dolls

This was the best play I have seen from our Drama Club. This play, I believe, also had the biggest budget and production crew.

I got there ten minutes before the play start. I met Sherry at the Lobby. We watched from the balcony upstairs. The view was great from high above, but the seats where a bit uncomfortable. Lexie, Stephanie, and Devin were working crew in the balcony. During intermission, Sherry was wondering where Sandy was, she used my phone to call her and left her a message.

The live music was great! It is very catchy. The acting was wonderful. The story was funny and interesting. Poor Emily have to walk around without her glasses. Justin B. did a really good job at being a mobster. Justin R. did a really convincing role as an old man. I didn't recognized Kapil because his fro disappeared.

This was great, I am looking forward to future performances.

The Circle of Life.

I just saw The Lion King, it was great.

The music was wonderful, the acting was great, the special effects were awesome, the props were beautiful.

I went with my sister and one of her friend. We bought our tickets through BGSU so we got foods at a restaurant across the street from Stranahan Theater. There were stuffed mushroom, a cheese and ham plate, grilled food on sticks, and some other good stuff that I don't know what it was.

The show started at 8:00. It is amazing how they did the costume. Human, yet animals. I really want to know how the complex costumes work. After the intermission, my sister's friend got lock out for the first scene.

One disappointing thing is that the merchandise are so freaking expensive.

After the show, we walked out into the lobby to find our self in a snow storm. We got stuck waiting to get out of the parking lot for fifteen minutes. Then we took about another hour plus to get home. We head to stop in the middle of the road half way home to get rid of the snow on the windshield again.

Everything was awesome, beside the weather.

Like a rich fat kid in a candy store.

That was how I felt like monday.

My tea pot project has a cyberpunk design. I needed an old computer for parts to decorate it.
I asked around, and Sandy have some old computer in a barn. She delivered it to the school monday.

She said the old Mac Power computer still works. So I wanted to turn it on to see how the OS work. But there was no power cord. So I started to take it apart. I was so happy to see the inside of an old computer. It used to belong to BGSU around 1994 or later.

But I felt sort of bad. Because I sort of euthanized the computer. I tore it apart piece by piece. I got to the hard drive and I resisted a little, because it is like the soul of the computer. I continued my disassembling of the hard drive, but this was a challenge. The screw on the hard drive was so hard to unscrew. I unscrew three out of six. Leonard help me with the other two. But the last one was stuck.

I took every thing apart. Next I will have to take apart the keyboard and the mouse. Sandy also gave me a monitor, but I doubt I'll have any use of that. How will I dispose of it?

SWAMPED

Swamped was great!! The one hour collection of skits that is about the history of Bowling Green. My favorite skit is The Clock Tower Birds. It talked about how pigeons made the clock hands move making it another time. My second favorite is Bowling Green's Fight for the County Seat. Bowling Green vs. Parrisburg fought for the county seat base on population. Bowling Green got helped from neighboring towns and won.

I love these kinds of collection of skits. They have very low amount of props. Simple and the focus is on the story, not anything else.
