When I was a kid, I always wanted to get an RC plane. They were always a bit too pricey, so that never worked out. But they have always held a fascination to me, from the time my older brother had a huge glider when I was a tyke. I recall lusting after an Estes model rocket with a 110 camera in the nose when I fooled around with those in Cub Scouts, but these guys have taken all that to the next level (example photo by Kyle Goetzelmann above). Via Gizmodo, here is a link to the 2005 calendar photo entries from a group of serious RC enthusiasts. LINK

DIY iPod Ads
So, you like the iPod ads. Clean, simple, distinctive. How about rolling some of your own? I havent’ had time to try this myself yet, but Photoshopsupport.com has posted a how-to tutorial to make your image look like the archetypal iPod ads. I’ll have to give it a spin and let you know how it works out.
Parade QTVR
Ah technology. Panoramic QuicktimeVR of Spongebob at the annual Macy’s parade (via BoingBoing). This is a welcome way to experience Spongebob Squarepants in all his 3-story-tall glory! I’ve always been a fan of QTVR, ranging from my own work at several Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue shoots (which I’d link to if SI.com hadn’t moved these behind their subscription wall) and of the Augusta National Golf Club. The VR is from NYC POV – a great site with many interesting NYC panos to check out.
