Panorama Crits

My camera has this "sweep panorama" feature. I thought I would try to use it to capture some of the semester reviews experience. It does a good job with the stitching, but a little bit it seems to occasionally mangle people. Something's not right with Anne here:

ANd here it appears to have completely removed Narelle's face:

From S11Crits

Still, pretty cool for fully automated. To get this with the old camera I would have had to shoot a dozen pictures and then run them through the stitch program after.

• 16:29 @keeboch sure. there are 2 grad1s, we have to guess how many spring ! sophs (and then usually subtract 1) Can you have it monday? #
• 17:05 Keep working, or go home (and probably work later)? #

• 18:08 @keeboch there's some unfortunate realities to that #

Spring 2011 Semester Reviews

There's a reason the Picasa gallery for this blog is full of students standing in front of boards. That'd be semester reviews, and they're back. No shoe competition this year. I'm thinking maybe it will come back in the fall. Here's day one:

Grad1 TD Jake:

From S11Crits

I little bit screwed with Jake's presentation making him get up and sit down and get up again. His biggest current project is being assistant to the project manager for his upcoming wedding.

Sophomore TD Sonia:

From S11Crits

Sonia heard today that maybe we gave her the wrong advice last year. I often hope people don't remember what I said that far along. I'm hoping work with actual right and wrong answers will be good for her - bring on the Physics and Structures.

Sophomore PM/SM Ariel:

From S11Crits

Ariel is taking a summer off from theatre. I wish I could take a summer off from theatre. I suggested she should open a BW3. Her being a vegetarian it seems unlikely.

Sophomore BSA PM/SM/Mathematician Brian:

From S11Crits

Brian could use some more stuff on his board, just saying. I've told him he should move to Chicago as he could walk into any restaurant without a reservation and announce that he is the Alderman.

Junior PM/SM Brooke:

From S11Crits

Brooke got lovely feedback from Brian Russman on her painting. I might have said something nice about her painting but I didn't get the chance. Also it wasn't for my class, and it just would have been weird.

Grad1 PM/SM Taylor:

From S11Crits

Taylor said he had a real cool idea for his board but then he didn't do it because he didn't know if it would be well received. Now we'll never know.

Junior TD Charley:

From S11Crits

Charley's name sign on his board is pretty cool if you zoom up on it. I don't think he built that welder. He did lead the TV project this semester pretty well.

Sophomore LD/PM Jon:

From S11Crits

Jon really maybe should have tucked in today. I mean even I tucked in today and I wasn't critting. Jon was king of parking for carnival. Parking during carnival is one of my least favorite things - this year I took the bus. Maybe next year I will sample his work.

Junior PM/SM/TD Katherine:

From S11Crits

Katherine got my worst advice of the day. It's possible I told her she needs to work on being taller. That kind of advice ought to at least come with a pair of inversion boots or something. I'll try to do better next time.

Day two tomorrow.

Ellipses...

I watched that whole two-hour Doctor Who premiere and I still don't know who was in the spacesuit or if they did anything to keep that very first shooting from happening... Today the gas pump said $60. That's a first for me. I'm glad I'm filling up much less often lately... Do you think George tanked Top Shot? I think maybe he did... We went to see "Invincible." I'd totally take that pill... I hear Donald Trump was featured prominently in the annual correspondents dinner, have to find the video... What do you think is the going rate for personal assistant? My list is getting kinda long... I think I understand why the cat with the lion cut needs more petting. His fur coat was holding the petting in, without it all the petting gets away... CNN is saying the Bin Laden is dead. Only wish it didn't have to have taken this long... Bon Voyage to Smudge, leaving the Windy City behind... I know I have a lot of work to do, but for the first time I a little bit wish I'd made the LA trip with the seniors... Going to NYC next week I think. Anything I should be sure to see? I might as well take the opportunity... Tonight I had to do a Photoshop project. One of these days I should really learn to use Photoshop... I never saw someone delete a tweet in real time, until tonight, pretty neat... The futon in my office is not an asset in the effort to complete my grading... How do you explain something that's as clear as the nose on your face to you but completely invisible to others? Slowly and repeatably... I'm not sure of this week's message on Glee. In the end "bad attitude", "likes boys", and "fat" aren't really the same thing...
