Geek Brief TV #320

Uploaded by: mdnvr
Video Description:
Before Cali headed off to the vet this morning to find out what is
wrong with our Chihuahua's back leg, we shot Brief 320 about something
new from Microsoft Research called the WorldWide Telescope [1]. When
it's released this Spring it will give us the ability to virtual
explore the Universe just like Google Earth lets us explore our
planet. Imagery is displayed in the same context as you would
experience it if you could fly from place to place in a space ship.
Robert Scoble saw it in action a few weeks ago and he says it made him
cry [2].
The WorldWide Telescope is dedicated to Microsoft researcher, Jim
Gray [3], and it was introduced at this year's TED conference by Roy
Gould. We show a few clips on Brief 320. You can download [4] the
presentation in it's entirety from TED.com [5].
BTW, I shot this episode at 24 fps rather than 60. Does anyone
notice a difference?
UPDATE: Our Chihuahua's knee is out of it's socket. It's an $800
surgery.
