9000+ Pictures and 90 Minutes Later, originally uploaded by sonson.

I used MacOSaiX to create a mosaic of this Totoro picture from about 9000+ pictures in my library. The whole process took about an hour and half, but I’m impressed by the resulting image.

"Life before Starbucks and Microsoft" is a coffee maker??

This is part of an exhibit I saw after going on the Seattle Underground Tour. I took this picture because I found the sign above the coffee maker interesting. Yeah, of course, many of us know Seattle is the home of the very first Starbucks Coffee and Microsoft Corp. But I also found it amazing how they placed a coffee maker right below this sign. So, after all, it’s still coffee before Starbucks?

I took a closer look at the description of the coffee maker (which I found from one of my other photos):

In selecting machines for this exhibition a decision was made to use the most interesting styles as opposed to presenting chronological "history of coffee and espresso" equipment. All the pieces on exhibit were created and used before Microsoft and Starbucks began operating.

Most of the equipment shown here, while still operable, is out of production. The processes used in making coffee and espresso are pretty much unchanged, however water, heat, pressure and coffee beans are still the basic ingredients. Only the technology has changed.

今日去買米粉，發現米粉都有好多唔同嘅牌子，雙龍同三象應該如何取捨？到底係兩條龍勁，定係三隻象勁 D 呢？買米粉啫，使唔使咁難呀？

上個星期六有機會同我個妹去睇新秀歌唱大賽溫哥華選拔賽2008, 個 show 查實都 ok, 記得往年係屋企，電視做直播，我地都緊會轉台，因為 D 參賽者都唱得麻麻，D 製作又麻麻，成日會見到錯漏百出。

今年起初見到謝安琪嚟做表濱嘉賓都有D心大心細想去睇下，但一唸到要坐係度兩個幾鐘睇D我唔識嘅人，只為個10零分鐘謝安琪就覺得好嘥時間喇。

好彩有免費飛，至少唔會覺得又嘥時間又嘥錢先。

結果，成晚我都唔算做真係睇 show, 我覺得我算係玩相機多 D, 成晚一直趁住謝安琪未出嚟係度試下不同嘅 settings. 我坐係第2x行，用我部 point-and-shoot 一直 zoom 到 15x (78mm 喎), 結果影出嚟 D 相都算 OK.

謝安琪都真係唱得幾好，雖然有時唱得唔係好穏，特別係每首歌頭個幾句，但我都總算無失望。成晚佢唱咗5首歌咁多: 神奇女俠的退休生活, 3/8, The One & Only, 鍾無艷, 同 17 度.
