		<description><![CDATA[Nothing special, actually, but google has changed it&#8217;s output, so here is zgooglecalc 1.2  widget. Actually in Leopard you can just type any numbers into the Spotlight field and it will calculate the results, however, the widget is somehow usable.
Thanks to the William Li who updated the code in widget, I appreciate.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I&#8217;ve realized that there is no way to make rounded corners for the image automatically in Photoshop. In case you&#8217;re preparing nice rounded images for the website and there are lot of these images, and all they come in different sizes, this could be a real headache. So, after some action-magic, I&#8217;ve made this script. It flattens image and removes hard corners, leaving everything else intact. Feel free to use this action script.</p>
<p>Sample image (before and after):<br />
<img src="/rc/before.png" alt="before rounded corners"/></p>
<p><img src="/rc/after.png" alt="after rounded corners"/></p>
<p>And, just in case you&#8217;re wondering: to add an action to photoshop actions list, you have just to drag&#8217;n'drop action file to actions panel, or to photoshop icon itself.</p>
<p><a href="/rc/rc.atn">Download Rounded Corners action for Photoshop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Уже почти год назад я нашёл только-только открывшийся сайт с уникальными толстовками Anticon: строгие формы толстовки с запасами &#8220;для складок&#8221; на рукавах, агрессивная форма капюшона и прекрасные цвета - что ещё нужно для путешествия в городе. Толстовка оборудована молнией на капюшоне, которая позволяет застегнуть его от макушки до горла, кроме того, на самом капюшоне есть два тщательно прошитых отверстия для глаз. Всё вместе складывается в модный аксессуар и практичную вещь как для любителей анонимности, так и для любителей удобства и полностью закрытой головы. А сейчас вы уже можете купить <a href="http://www.anticon.ru">толстовку с капюшоном Anticon</a> уже в России.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the end of nineties, I was a demoscene coder. &#8220;Demoscene&#8221; word won&#8217;t tell a lot to the people nowadays, so I should refer to it as &#8220;video art&#8221;. So, all that &#8220;demoscene&#8221; was about writing programs, which combined beautiful computer-generated images with the music. Also, there was a music and art parts, but I am not talking about this. Not so long ago, I have downloaded a &#8220;Processing&#8221; programming/scripting language, which is dedicated to people like me - it has a simple editor and bunch of graphic functions, which allows you to build any graphical &#8220;proof of concept&#8221; software. It works well in realtime and also it has a very simple to understand code.</p>
<p>So, most recent application I&#8217;ve done in Processing is a &#8220;Kaleidoscope&#8221;. It works well on any Macintosh computer with camera attached, you can get OSX version <a href="http://www.dmitrykirillov.com/lj/proc/kaleidoskop.zip">here</a>. It also changes the image basing on the sound it gets from the microphone.</p>
<p><a id="more-67"></a></p>
<p>Here is an example of how it looks like. OMG, I wish I had such as an iTunes visualizer.</p>
<p><embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=3866177102408629784&#038;hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed></p>
<p>A frame from the drafts:</p>

<p>And <a href="http://www.dmitrykirillov.com/lj/kaleidoskop.mov">Quicktime Video</a>, of course.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I had a chance to test a Sony HDR-HC3E camera. It looks similar to usual point-and-click DV camera with one major difference: it can record HDV video. HDV is rather new format, and even if it has &#8220;HD&#8221; in the name it has nothing to do with HD. And, clearly, HDV is way better than DV - if you take computer screen resolution, it would be 1440&#215;1080 for HDV.</p>
<p>The interesting thing I&#8217;ve noticed in it is a <b>smooth slow motion</b> mode. In this mode camera shoots 3 seconds of real-time into 12 seconds of HDV video, which is almost 120 frames per second! The camera itself can record slow-mo video in two modes: after you press a button (regular) or in the 3 seconds before you press the button (in this case camera uses some kind of looped buffer). A rough estimate of 1440 x 1080 x 120 frames x 3 seconds gives us half gigabyte of raw data, which explains, why the camera itself is limited to three seconds of slow-motion only.</p>
<p>The slowmotion itself takes 3 seconds to record into the buffer and 15 seconds to save all the data to DV tape and become ready for next slow-motion shooting. Not bad, Sony!</p>
<p>For those, who&#8217;s wondering on how does it look like, I&#8217;ve compressed some samples into Mpeg4 format, which all of you guys should be able to see (or download Quicktime player, it does the job good).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dmitrykirillov.com/lj/birds.mp4">Birds at the street</a>.<br />
<a href="http://www.dmitrykirillov.com/lj/slow.mp4">I am trying to do a yo-yo trick</a>, unsuccesseful as you can see.<br />
<a href="http://www.dmitrykirillov.com/lj/water.mp4">Water running from faucet</a>.</p>
<p>As far as you can see, slow-mo video is recorded best in daylight - otherwise it&#8217;s badly focused, at least with this camera.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Мираж - это конструкция из двух параболических зеркал, при помощи которой создаётся хитрая оптическая иллюзия, мираж или голограмма того, что находится внутри этих зеркал. Классический пример - маленькая розовая хрюшка из пластмассы, которая даётся в комплекте с каждым зеркалом. Вы видите эту свинку на поверхности так, как если бы она действительно лежала там, а не на 10 сантиметров ниже. Если вы попытаетесь взять её руками, то вас будет ожидать неудача - руки пройдут сквозь изображение, а ещё точнее - руки всегда закроют изображение собой, поскольку то что вы видите - результат нескольких отражений предмета от поверхностей зеркала. В зеркале может находится любая другой небольшой предмет - конфета, монетка или что-нибудь ещё.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a proud owner of Wheelman &#8220;motorcycle for your feet&#8221; (you can see what it is really is at www.bushpig.com). Recenlty I&#8217;ve had a chance to compete with a latest Segway human transporter. Happy to inform you all, guys, I won. But when it comes to design, silent work and the finished look - Segway is the best choice.</p>
<p>The one and only thing that  stops me from buying a brand new Segway is it&#8217;s price: $10&#8242;000 (here, in Moscow) - it&#8217;s way too much for a recreational transport device with so many limitation. My Wheelman costed me $600 and it&#8217;s worth every dollar I&#8217;ve spent on it.</p>

So, and the most interesting part - the photos:<br />
