Microsoft PhotoSynth

Tired of the same old boring, flat, 2d photographs of all the cool places you've been to? Microsoft PhotoSynth is the solution. Though I'm a big supporter of Mac, this is the most innovative pieces of software I've seen in a while. PhotoSynth takes your photos and finds the angles they were taken at to make one 3d image. You can move scroll around like you were actually in the place of the photo. PhotoSynth uses software called Sea Dragon to activally adjust megapixels as needed. You can also view other peoples "synths" and upload your own using PhotSynth's smooth interface. When the software first launched about a week ago the servers got overloaded with all the downloads.


Also, I ordered Spore so when it comes out, I'll most likely have it. You can expect a review in a week or so.

Awesome Adress: Newgrounds

Since 1995 Newgrounds has been putting out games and movies. It has now grown to be the original and largest, flash portal on the web. But, what is a flash portal and what is flash. Flash is an animation and programming software developed by Adobe under the name Macromedia. A flash portal is a site where users submit flash games and movies. Newgrounds was first started by Tom Fulp as a Neo Geo fansite under the name New Grounds Remix. It eventually grew to a mecca of games, movies, and other cool stuff! With the help many artists and scripters. To see more go to Newgrounds.com

MMO Spotlight:Elf Online

Elf Online, now in Open Beta is a wacky mmorpg (massively multiplayer
role-playing game) created by Happymmo, a fledgling developer. The game has been a big hit in China (where the game is based) as is slowly gaining popularity in the US. The game utilizes a turn-based battle system with zany spells such as Egg Bomb, Missile, and Intense Flame Eruption. The most innovative and fun feature is the use of "trick" items. These items can turn you into a cockroach, put a label saying "Idiot" on it, or even turn your character into a mosaic! I'll let the pictures tell the rest.
