Photo Vista Panorama

If you've ever been to a real estate page lately you may have noticed that some are offering 360 degree virtual tours of rooms in the home. Ever wondered if you could make your own. Well you can. Photo Vista provides a 15 day trial to let you make a few. Just take your digital camera and shoot photos in all directions at a single point. Make sure there is lots of overlap. Then use Autostitch, a free program I've mentioned earlier that magically stitches all of the photos together seemlessly. Now open up that generated pano photo in PhotoVista. You can then save it (choosing the drop down options on save) as a Java enabled panorama group of files. These 4 files can be uploaded to your webpage for all to see. Launching the webpage link after it's uploaded will give others a chance to virtually be at the location you shot at. It's lots of fun. GET YOUR VIRTUAL TOUR TRIAL NOW

GPS TrackMaker

Well, if you've followed along with my GPS related posts you'll know I was still struggling on how to get Google Earth data out in a format to put back into a GPS without upgrading to Google Earth Plus. I finally figured it out. In Google Earth you can save a bunch of waypoint data created inside Google Earth as a KML file. Free GPS TrackMaker can open up KML files. It can save them as GPX files. GPX files can be openned up by G7TOWIN, another free GPS program I've talked about in the past. It can upload waypoints to Garmin GPS's for example or save the file as a .LOC format that EasyGPS can use to upload. Sounds complicated I know but it does save a lot of time if you do it. Now you can explore the world in Google Earth, mark points of interest and then through this sequence easily upload all of these points to your GPS. Do forget to first download your current waypoints from your GPS into G7TOWIN so they can be merged before uploading (if not you will blow away the waypoints in your GPS with the new points of interest only.

SongTapper.com - Find music by tapping the rhythm of the song's melody.

Ok, I think this is a neat site...if it actually worked. Maybe I suck at keeping a beat or maybe the database is flawed but I tried 10 different songs and only once did something come up similar to what I tapped. Give it a whirl and maybe you'll do better.
