YooouuuTuuube offers an interesting way to watch YouTube videos. It shows a series of cascading still images that move at the speed of regular videos. The result is both mesmerizing and confusing and also pretty cool to get lost in.
If you want to see the video that the screenshot above was taken from, you can watch it here. But you can enter in any YouTube video URL here to make your own.

Gigapan is hosting an impressive gigapixel image taken by David Bergman of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration on January 20th. The image is composed of 220 separate images making a final image with a size of 59,783 X 24,658 pixels. That’s roughly 1.47 gigapixels!
Like most gigapixel images, you can zoom in rather closely to any part of the picture above and get a pretty close view of people’s faces. Give it a try and pan around the place. Maybe you’ll find someone you know!
Oh, and if you click on the smaller images at the bottom of the gigapixel picture, you can zoom in to designated bookmarks that people have selected. One of the bookmarks zooms you into a little joke that a stagehand wrote on gaff tape on one of the support bars. Kinda funny. Haha.

According to WIRED, the new version of Photoshop which was announced on Tuesday, will feature one awesome goodie for Mac users with recent hardware — multi-touch actions!
Yep! If you’ve got a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air that has a multi-touch trackpad, you’ll enjoy the added feature of multi-touch in Photoshop that allows you to pinch, zoom, twist, and “throw” images all over the Photoshop canvas. This sounds like a gimmick, but believe me, the multi-touch trackpad is one of my favorite features on my MacBook Pro because it allows me to quickly do common tasks without making me go through menus, and knowing that Photoshop will come with this support is definitely going to make me real happy.
I’m already imagining the efficiency and speed at which this will allow me to work. Ahh, yes, it’s going to be good!

I’ve found myself taking a lot of wide-angled photos lately. Well, attempting to at least. A Canon EF 17-40mm wide-angle zoom lens should be pretty nifty. Yes, f/4.0 isn’t much of an opening, but that isn’t anything a proper flash setup won’t fix.
Peep PBase for sample photos taken with a 17-40mm L lens. Yum!
