  Looks like a cool place to see!
  
  It always feels like a neat place to hang out and catch the buzz.
  
  The whole idea behind the giga prints is amazing. I followed part of the thread and understand the concepts, but it is still amazing that it was so flawlessly executed.
  
  Kudo's to the entire gang........!

  It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

  Thanks Andy. As an organizational anthropologist/Organization Effectiveness professional, I find these photos fascinating. They make me curious about the Smugmug Culture, the level of productivity and the quality of worklife. As a customer, I'm guessing it's all good, and as a professional I know you guys have a unique company personality and culture that is fascinating, complex, and unique. Again, thanks for sharing.

  Be different or be damned is the #1 thing in our culture. The only real problem in life is to be ignored.
  
  The #2 thing is the only way we'll feel good about ourselves is to do great work. And the only way to do that is to find what we love.
  
  Can't think of anything we'd rather do than this, except maybe being Spielberg.

  Just to whine a little -- would've been nice for faithful DGrin members to get notice about the first SMUG (SmugMug Users Group) meeting. :-/
  
  Feh -- Twitter.

  Mechanical auto-panning gizmo for point-and-shoots to create gigaphotos, along with a nice web-based viewer:
  http://www.popsci.com/gear-amp-gadgets/article/2009-03/gigapan-article
  
  The results are not as technically perfect as Baldy's photos, but a pretty neat gadget for the "rest of us".
  
  Gizmo:

  Viewer (which has a really nice zoom out/in effect like Google Earth):

  On a related note, love this gigapixel shot of the inauguration that was shot and probably pain-stakingly composited the old-fashioned way:
