There is an intern at work who is about 16. She has brought in her own 2 foot Mac screen and wireless keyboard from home and she is the first person who thinks I'm an old loser. I know it's won't be the last time, but it is the first, honestly, because people ask me for id when I buy cigarettes so, even though I've felt like a loser before, I've never felt like an old one. Anyway, she did show me something pretty awesome the other day and it's this screensaver. It is a series of different locations in Japan filmed using tilt-shift video (or hi-speed photography) which changes everything to look like it's in miniature. They put out new scenes every 2 months or so, along with a different music selection
Here's an easy way to help out with the Japanese recovery ... A publisher called Kodansha has just developed an App which showcases the work of 14 Japanese photographs and 120 of their images of the recent earthquake and tsunami. The App is called 3/11, it is for iPhones or iPads and it's only 99c on US iTunes (it's also available in Europe and the UK). All profits go to the Japanese Red Cross.
