Over the summer, I shot a timelapse of West Hill Pond in near-infrared using my modified Canon PowerShot SD400 and CHDK. The background music is from the Open Goldberg Variations. Enjoy!

Kindle Weather Display
Ever since I first learned about electronic paper, I’ve thought it would be perfect to display some sort of regularly updated, but not real-time, data such as the current date, an agenda, or the weather forecast. Unfortunately, e-paper displays have always cost more than I was willing to spend on such a project. However, with the price of Amazon’s cheapest Kindle recently dropped to $69, I decided e-paper displays were finally cheap enough for me to pursue such a project: an e-paper based weather forecast display.
Pannellum 1.2
With a few new features, a few improvements, and a bug fix, Pannellum 1.2 has been released. The new release includes keyboard panning controls, support for a fallback URL if WebGL is not supported by a browser, clarified load button text, and vector icons. Also included is a workaround for a, now resolved, regression in WebKit’s fullscreen API support. Enjoy!
Update: Pannellum 1.2.1 has been released with a fix for a minor mouse dragging bug.
The new release can be downloaded here, or one can see the project on Github.
Storm over West Hill Pond
Last night, severe weather was forecasted in the West Hill Pond, New Hartford, Connecticut area. Fortunately, the worst of the storm never made it here. There was only a little rain and wind, but there was plenty of lightning.

Cats and Catbirds
Last year, Blue Jays made a nest in the yew bush in the backyard. This year, Gray Catbirds made a nest in the same bush close to the where the Blue Jay nest was (don’t worry—the cat isn’t chasing the birds).
