Rockport
I spent the weekend relaxing in Rockport, MA with Tristyn and her family (now becoming an annual tradition). At night we camped in the back yard by the ocean. Saturday we went to Halibut Point State Park, a former granite quarry turned lake. Sunday we kayaked from Bearskin Neck to an abandoned island across from the house.
The weak cellphone reception drained my battery very quickly on Friday, so I missed the text message announcing the great news about Joe Biden, but I did manage to watch the speeches online. Other than that I was mostly "disconnected" over the weekend, which was definitely a nice break.
In addition to some photos, I decided to test out Photosynth, MS Labs' new (to me at least) app that creates 3D environments from hundreds of photos. The spot I chose was the quarry lake at Halibut Point. It's still compiling now - it takes forever - so I'll update when it's done. In the meantime, enjoy some photos:
Update: The photosynthing is done. It's only "88% synthy," so there are some big gaps, but it's still pretty cool. (I've embedded it in a separate post here.)
