You know I just love Photosynth (although I wish Microsoft would finally make it available in some form other than a technology preview), so I had to check out the video National Geographic has posted of Stonehenge as seen through Photosynth technology and photos by Rebecca Hale.

iPhone (mobile) version of the blog

Jun 2nd, 2008 | By

I was too lazy to blog anything today so I installed a couple of new (to us) plug-ins on the blog. The main one that will have an impact will be the plug-in that gives visitors using an iPhone or iPod Touch (or any other mobile Safari device I assume) a special theme that has [...]
