Jury Duty

After postponing it for a month I went in an did my civic duty. After 4 hrs worth of waiting around an being asked a lot of questions by the judge, it was determined my services were not needed in this case.

I was selected as Jurier #3 (25 total) and spent the next few hours in the front row right next to the judge. Because this was a civil case only 8 juriers where needed so the odds of me being selected were slim.

Here's what the case was about:

At 0.08 gigapixels, can't wait to start using the Nikon D40x (10mp) with 300mm zoom

GigaPan Beta

More than a year has passed since I saw on digg.com the gigapan. See here for more: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~globalconn/commercial_gigapan.html

Basically it allows you to take a digital camera and put it on this device can be configured to scan and take photos automatically for those cool gigapixel photos that you can zoom way into.

Tuesday I got my offer to be in the beta program and a $100 off coupon, today (thursday) it showed up at home....yea, love fast shipping!
