If you haven’t noticed, there’s a new movement on the web to animate GIF, but to only animate them a little bit and to do it in a way to make them appear 3D. I’m really loving it. Take a look at the Steve Z image below and tell me you don’t like it. I dare you.
Over the past two years, I’ve found that Colorado and Denver in particular to be filled with really nice folks. The interactions here remind me of my childhood in Minnesota where you get a heavy dose of “Minnesota Nice” in each conversation. While people here aren’t quite that nice, they are still extraordinarily friendly.
My first month here, i got pulled over by a Denver cop for rolling through a stop sign. He asked me why i did it and i replied that i was lost and looking at my iPhone map. Instead of looking at me like a moron (which i am) and writing out a ticket, he instead asked me for the address of where i was going, jumped into his car, pulled up along side me and said, “follow me, i know where it is.” Yep, that really happened.
Today i saw these photos below of mailboxes in and around Denver. I thought they were pretty cute and a good example of the vibe you can get from this city. Enjoy:

Some facts about this snake:

This is pretty cool. A Danish photographer, Peter Funch, who lives and works in New York City has created a photo series called “Babel Tales” which consists of pictures of people passing New York City street corners.
Every photo is an edit of several photo’s he took at exactly the same spot in a period of two weeks. He then Photoshopped the images he captured to create the Babel Tales series.
The pictures are all pretty cool. As a former New Yorker, i think these do a great job of catching the energy of the sidewalk. People doing their own thing and creating a dynamic piece of art every second of the day.
For a view of the whole series check out the Flickr photos
Check out this image of Obama’s inaugural speech. It’s a 1400 Megapixel photo. This allows you to do some ridiculous zooming in. You can even check out Bush’s sour face. Pretty cool. Here’s the article where the photographer explains how it was done. Click on the photo below to see the sweet details
