But wait, there's more!

From the Department of Strange Japanese Exercise Videos, here's another gem, entitled, "Algorithm Exercise (With the Bus Guides and Everyone Together)".

Virtual Tokyo

This is very cool - a virtual tour of Tokyo. From the website:

とは、東京の主要エリアをQuickTimeVR化しようと言う無謀プロジェクトです。多数のQuickTimeVRを連結し、その空間、街並み、建造物をデータ化して擬似的な空間を構成することによって、新しい情報インターフェースを提案します。私たちの独自のノウハウによってQuickTimeVRを素早く大量作成することが可能になって初めて、このプロジェクトは実行可能になりました。見たままの風景をそのままインターフェースにすることで、家や店や公園、建造物、そしてそこでの生活情報ありのままを発信することが出来るでしょう。それはバリアフリーや安全・防犯対策、そして地域の情報発信や散策や冒険に役立つでしょう。私たちの試みに賛同していただける方のご協力を心よりお待ちしております。

Japanzine

japanzine.jpgFor those of you living in Japan, keep an eye out for January's edition of Japanzine, where you'll be able to see some of my recent photographs, together with pictures taken by other foreigners living in Japan. There are some great images. I particularly like Matthew Bernow's Fallen Victim, showing sumo wrestlers in training. If you are in Japan, grab a copy and take a look!

Well, it LOOKS sexy...

Following on from conversations I've been having with friends about Apple's iPhone, here's an article from the LA Times which basically sums up what I've been saying.

Shaun Micallef

For some reason this sketch popped into my head last night and I just had to find it on You Tube. Its old, but still one of my all-time favourites.

The Radiant Vista et al

Lately I've been checking out a few new Photoshop-themed podcasts and vidcasts. There are some great tutorials online for those people wanting to learn more about this rather complex piece of software. Regular readers of this blog will remember that I've already written about John Arnold's excellent PhotoWalkthrough tutorials and Chis Marquart's popular Tips From the Top Floor podcast.

If you are interested in improving your digital post-processing skills, you should also check out The Radiant Vista, which covers some of the more sophisticated Photoshop techniques as well as basic things like image composition. Then there's Layers Magazine, which deals with all things Adobe, and the increasingly popular Photoshop Quicktips, which speeds through a couple of specific techniques in every episode.

All of the shows I've mentioned are well-produced and no doubt take quite a bit of time to put together. If you like what you see, help out the producers by voting for the shows at Digg or Podcast Alley.
