This is even stupider.

Or maybe it's nukular.

wow. That's really high resolution. And I'm amazed at how busy it is. If I were a local, I'd be annoyed at all those tourists walking back and forth getting their pictures taken.

I head some horns honking a short while ago.

Wow, extremely cool. No offense, glatt, but your chosen example doesn't really do his style justice, IMHO. It looks like he just split the picture down the middle. See below for a better shot of his blending skills:

What amazes me is how he goes out and gets a shot today that matches so closely the original. I don't have any idea how he could do that. Obviously, you need to take the original picture with you when you go out with your camera, but you need to be in the exact right spot, at the right height, with the camera using the correct focal length lens.

ThisOldHouse.com has Home Inspection Nightmares AKA American Ingenuity/Insanity.

I admit I've done one thing in my attic that might wind up here but in general it makes me feel good about the condition of my old house.

Two examples (from the site, not my house

), showing a car radiator/floor heater and some crazy pipework:

Awesome free site that emails you updates on websites. I never was a fan of RSS and this site is simple but still very configurable. Works great to monitor craigslist searches.

Skysidhe, those SunJars are crap. I gave out a half dozen of them for Christmas, a couple years ago, and they all failed almost immediately.

Jupiter is never "bright". It's probably Venus.

Gravdigr · 08-28-2010, 04:09 PM

Saturn?

This is what the eastern sky will look like around 2 am EST 8/29/10
I think you are looking at Jupiter because it has really been bright the past few nights, along with the full moon.
