Neat Image

So I'm sure all (four) of you have had issues with excess "noise" in a picture (PARTICULARLY indoor/night pictures). Well, I also have that problem. my camera only goes down to 200 ISO (most go down to at least 100) (and of course, the higher the ISO the more noise you get). Anyway, Photoshop has a "noise reduction" feature in it, but I dont think it does a very good job, so I was looking at other programs and came across Neat Image. I'm REALLY impressed with these first results. I barely even know how to use the program and got these results (the left is original and the right is "de-noised"):






Man. It REALLY cleaned that baby picture up. So nice.

Would you get a load of this doodoo!? (the good kind):


(this is 100% showing the preview of the corrected image inside the box. LOOK AT THAT.)




You can download the demo version or just grab the full thing off... shmitshmorrent.

INCREDIBLE KITTEN VIDEO

well... sort of.

i took some videos of her the other day and tried to post them, but something messed up and i didn't get back around to it. and then JESSE took some video and posted it and beat me to it. so yeah, whatever.



i'm astonished at how much YouTube degrades the quality of a video.

Will It Blend?

i dont know if you guys have seen this, but these are great. this blender company promotes its blender by blending... everything. incredible. this thing is a beast.

Marbles



Hockey Pucks



Glow Sticks



Rake Handle



iPhone (i love the slo-mo) (billy, you might not should watch)



6 Bic Lighters

2 Things:

a) i got my $505 back from the bum projector i bought on eBay over a month ago! sweet sassy molassy that's a nice amount to have back. thank you, God... and PayPal.

b) jesse just put together a sweet wrap-up of the Colorado trip and recent goin's (it's got like a million pictures and everything).

Ludley or Dizzy?

she does look like a mix of the D-man and Lizzy!





huh. kind of looks like the same picture only zoomed/cropped.

it's not though.

Say Hello to Dudley's Little Sister

we can't think of a name yet. her name was Oprah, but, well, that just won't do. i like human names, but i'm open to suggestions.

The Band of Gold Reunites...

sort of...



friday night a couple of us went out to dinner with Mr. Cox (our old band director. and i do mean old. BOOYAH.) it was a lot of fun. we stayed out really late, which i didn't expect. BILLY was the first person to leave, so that says something (course i think he was leaving to get the new harry potter).

This Just Occured to Me

i was getting ready for work this morning when this revelation hit me...

Martin Starr


how funny is that?

i just added Undeclared to our Netflix.
