This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
You might remember a TED conference presentation of the Microsoft-funded Photosynth project, knitting together the world’s photos in 3D space. Looks like they’ve taken it even further since then.
