New gizmo..... device attaches to camera and tripod - takes up to 12 images in a circle. Software knits them together (or maybe it is crochets).... giving you a 360 degree view ...image above is from out front of our house.... of course our house is in the center!!!

I would take a picture of the device, but, it is attached to the bottom of my camera and I am too damn lazy to take it off....

I think it is pretty nifty, but then it does not take much to impress me...

School started today and even thought this is an odd starting day (Thursday) most of my students were present....

It is too cold... but, not as cold as some places further north.. I am going to start a fire in the fireplace insert in just a minute...

Cheers, john

Pretty dang nifty gizmo! It's amazing what we can do these days with all this technology.

Yes...it's cold west of you too! My academy is freezing even with the heater on! Last months gas bill was horrible and if this kind of cold keeps up, I'm going to have to ask for a bailout. I mean...baseball is America's past time so you would think the world would need me to be open!

lolol...you wimps!!! It's 23 below here in MN., where the gas bill takes a whole paycheck a month to pay off..lol And that is with keeping the temp set at 65.
