    I’ve kept meaning to update my blog, but life got in my way. I’m now the proud mamma of twin boys and life as I know it has changed forever. So much has happened over the past while in my life. It’s been a long, tough, rewarding, devastating, joyous journey through infertility, pregnancy, birth and now raising the boys who are 5 months old, but I figure that’s the subject for different, mamma-focused blog. I’ll let you know if I ever start writing about my experiences and learnings.

    Last March, I wrote about a cool technology that Microsoft Labs is developing, called Photosynth. Yesterday was the inauguration for US President Obama and featured on CNN’s web site is a Photosynth of the venue. It’s basically a large 3D collage of photos that people took at the site of the inauguration. It’s quite something and gives you the full effect of all the people that were there – much more than any single or even a flat collection of photos could. You can also go to the Photosynth site to see the other photosynths of the inauguration, including ones from along the parade route.

    What’s so neat about this is not only the technology, but the way the technology allows people to share their experiences in a full rich way to others that weren’t there. I keep meaning to put together a photosynth myself but so far I haven’t been inspired about what to photograph. Plus I’ve been a little busy lately with the twins and all…
