Now this is a really old technique brought way into the 21st century. In the 1800s, photographers travelled the world creating ‘stereograms,’ pairs of photos mounted on card-stock which appeared three-dimensional when observed through a special viewer. These cards and viewers are quite collectible, and some photographers (like my brother) are enjoying the ease that digital photography provides the steroscopic process. But this guy takes it a step further. No printing required here – just mount your iPod Photos as shown in his diagram, and voila!

Another G5 Powerbook Clue?
An intrepid reader of the British website theregister.co.uk tipped the site off to an interesting bit of code on Apple’s Powerbook product page. Apparently, a 1×1 pixel tracking gif from marketing firm Avenue A is labelled as ‘apple_g5_powerbook.’ A typo, perhaps? Probably, but all other such tracking tags across the apple.com site have the appropriate (and correct) processor and product names. It’s probably just wishful thinking, but we can hope, can’t we?
G5 Powerbook/iBook by Q2?!?
Despite Apple claims just last week that ‘thermal challenges‘ might delay the announcement of portable G5 laptops, Taiwanese tech magazine DigiTimes reports on two manufacturers there ready to ship G5 portables in quantity by the end of Q2 2005. The report is headlined in ho-hum fashion: ‘Sources: Taiwan makers receive Apple’s Mac mini and iPod shuffle orders.’ Yawn. Well, what the report fails to highlight is that two Taiwanese vendors are on track to ship 200k+ portables to Apple by Q2 2005.
Asustek Computer is making the iPod shuffle, and is tapped in this report to ship G5 iBooks in quantity before the end of Q2. Quanta is reported to be on track to ship 30-50k Powerbook G5s per month in Q2.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Bill Gates: Teen Idol
BoingBoing reports on this posting from monkey methods’ blog: photos allegedly from a ‘Teen Beat’ magazine story on Bill Gates, circa 1983. My favorite part of these is not the vintage nostalgia, yadda yadda, but rather the fact that what looks like a 512k Mac appears on the desk next to his stinky AT in the background. I seriously doubt that you’d find a Dual-G5 and Cinema Display sharing space with Mr. Gates P4 if you visited his office at Redmond these days…
