Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

Well here’s a clever little idea. It’s a ball with 36 cameras mounted inside it that take a photo when tossed into the air. The result can be stitched into a 360 degree panorama with a unique viewpoint.

It seems like a pretty fun way to capture a moment. I just hope their stitching software improves a little bit and some of those stitching seams go away.

I wonder how sturdy the thing is? I’d love to have a game of basketball with it – you’d get some great photos!

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to say a quick happy new year! Welcome to 2008. I hope your 2007 was great and that your 2008 is even better. I can personally say that I’m looking forward to the new year – I think 2008 has some good things in store for me.

I would offer up the following delicious cookie for a new year’s treat, but Santa Claus got to it before I could save it. I’m sure my wife would be happy to bake some more though!

Happy new year!
