I use Boinx’s FotoMagico for my pro digital image shows. It has wonderfully smooth transitions and lots of features, but I just bumped into PulpMotion from Aquafadas software.

Aquafadas has a slick little Flash program that’s part of the current MacUpdate Bundle Deal (check that out too!) and I bumped into PulpMotion from that.

It uses the ‘theme’ idea that’s ruined many such products, but these guys are like Apple… their design sense rocks. And on top of that, some of the themes just seem to be simple transition and text settings.

I’ll demo it and let you know if it’s as cool as it looks. Check out their site for videos of the shows created with PulpMotion.

OK, a lot of this stuff looked trashy, but they were on to something funny in a few of these things… Only at RIT would the graffiti include HTML tags!

… or deep thoughts like this.

Thanks to the two guys that ‘held it’ whilst I shot this.

I’m still process if I thought this was stupid or not ((thinking))

Dang… I just can’t figure this out, but the Blog is loading very slowly (even before you get to the content)… Sorry!

My main site is fine and I’m exploring reasons, if it’s something with Wordpress, or the slimeball spammers that leach stuff from the blog… we’ll see.

I just wrapped up editing the FIRST Robotics FInger Lakes Regional photos (it was a blast, BTW) and I thought that gang of cool geeky youth would dig this new gallery style from Airtight Interactive . It’s a 3D grid effect and can load photos from a folder, or grab them from your FlickR account by tags. Try it out, it’s sweet. I particularly like the ‘next gallery’ photos falling effect.

Geocaching

The kids and I are goofing off doing some Geocaching and above we’re indicating our 2nd find.

You use a GPS to get in the ballpark area of treasure that other Geocachers hide, then search around and maybe work out clues… we’re having a blast.
The find above was in Ontario NY in Casey Park… it was ‘Yellowjacket’ themed and the swag Colin got from it was a 1943 steel penny. Then you leave something for the next finder, which Colin left one of his special $1 bill rings.

Believe it or not, I missed seeing this and was right under it looking on the ground and Colin said ‘Dad, whaaaat’s that??!” and, of course it was the cache in a cool Yellowjacket container.

Check out our first cache find HERE and more in general from Geocaching.com.

And part of the fun is that you don’t want anyone else to know what you are up to, so there’s lots of sneaking around (and buying french fries to look nonchalant at the McDonalds cache.. .(which we still haven’t found!)

Go to the site and put in your zip code…it’s amazing how many caches are probably within 10 miles of your house…it’s a world going on around you that you never knew. How cool is that!

10 bonus points for anyone who can tell what our handle is from: Spiderweb4-2

See you out on a hunt someday!
