DIY Photography has a great article on building an inexpensive spherical panoramic head. Would love this to make HDRi photos for 3D images!

Wow, that was fast. After losing 10 pounds in 1 week the diet seems to have just stopped for me. I am still eating healthy, mostly salads, though some left overs for lunch. And I have fasted for 16 hours each day, and haven't been eating anything bad at all, but not only have I stopped losing weight, I have gained back a pound and a half, and am now staying completely level.Now either the diet has stopped working as my body got acclimated, which sure didn't take long or my body has shifted. I have noticed I am pooping at least a few more times before i eat at noon, so maybe i am just not relieving enough waste during the night, it is going before i eat. Will weight myself before noon this weekend (though I can't do that during the week as I will be at work) and just see what it says (probably won't be right as I will have drank liquid by then HMMM).I sure hope this isn't all I got, as I am not even down to my pre-surgery heavy weight, and I really need to lose at least 50 pounds, and would like to lose 75. And am still exercising quite a bit!••••So I went for my long walk and went to the bathroom again, and I did go down a bit more to 248.3, and now it is time to have some water, and soon lunch (not being good today, a Reuben at Brent's is in my future).

Macstories has the story on this excellent app, that I have been a fan of for sometime, which has been rechristened Documents, and made even more powerful, with the ability to play audio and video.I have used this app for sometime, and pretty much use it and iBooks for my document needs.
I found this article at How-To Geek after having a lot of trouble with my personal copy of Chrome I am using at work (I use Chrome Portable in a password protected disk image that I cary on a USB Key, and of course my LastPass installs all use Google Authenticator for login anyway) since it has a much newer version of flash.I did switch it up and disable the local copy of Chrome instead of my browser version, and I have stopped getting the Shockwave crash, though it has done nothing for my issues with Amazon Cloud Player, that I have been having (and recently documented).EDIT: Ha, didn't work. Maybe I do need to disable Chrome's Flash Plug In.
Filmmaker IQ has a great article on making your own Gorilla Pod.
