If you look reeeeaaally close...

Some photos from my walk around Telegraph and Russian hills today.

Yesterday was a foggy day in San Francisco, so Becky, Maureen, Nate and I crossed the bridge into Sausalito, where it was nice and sunny. The fog seemed to perpetually burn off before sinking into downtown Sausalito, which created this halo on top of the hill.

Maureen and I are going to Mexico in a few weeks, so we got a new camera. It puts my camera-phone to shame. Beyond that, I'm not going to review it since there are other, more educated, reviews out there. Anyway, I've uploaded some shots to flickr, and geotagged the balls out of most of my pictures. Hopefully no rival teams use this info to launch an attack on our trivia-weekend HQ.

Oh, and I saw Steve Jobs walking into a bike shop in Palo Alto this weekend. Score.

Robert Hodgin, who heads up the R&D lab at The Barbarian Group, does all kinds of amazing things with Processing. He recently got a strange and amazing multi-touch interface device called the Lemur, which he hooked up to his MacBook Pro to interface with his Processing programs. The programs are stunning graphic visualizations which respond to audio, and now visceral, input. Visit his post on getting the Lemur for more photos and video.

There is an amazing array of colors found in [what seems to be] the Cargill salt evaporation ponds, situated around the South San Francisco Bay.

You can explore an aerial view of the salt ponds in Google Maps.

The Engineering Department at The University of Wisconsin, Madison has a webcam with a surprisingly high frame rate. The coolest part is that there are controls to pan, tilt, and zoom the camera! It accepts simultaneous inputs, so if there is more than one user, you battle them for control.

Looks cold in Madison.
