It's a girl!

Little Sophie Ella was born Wed. the 23rd at 6:35pm. Moma and baby are happy and healthy :-) (I'm still hanging in there too for that matter) Update: made it home finally. Time to sleep.

Moonscape Panoramas

For the space cadet in all of us. Now we can see what it would be like to spin around on the moon until you get dizzy... thanks to quicktime VR...

Apollo 11 - 17 Mission First man on the Moon - Fullscreen QTVR photo from panoramas.dk

Of course these images are difficult to stitch as the astronauts did

And while you wait for them - there are
many other panoramas at panoramas.dk - Mt Everest, Mars, Eiffel Tower,
New Year at Times Square and more than 150 others.

Poster Sized Life
