Wow, Google Maps got even crazier, adding Street-View. You can read a little more about how they did it, here. You can see some interesting Street-View photos here.
I wonder how many cities they will do and how often this will be updated. It could end up being a really cool service, or it could dwindle away as an incomplete beta forever.

Damn, I’ve been watching so many grilling shows on Food Network, but we aren’t allowed to have a grill on the balconey/patio. There’s not even anywhere to go for some good BBQ. I tried Red, Hot, and Blue a while back and it sucked. I am really craving some good grilling. Life is tough in northern United States.
Speaking of Food Network, I can’t stand Emeril.

What could be better than a three-day weekend? Well, the power in Oakland going out, allowing everyone to go home 2 hours early is definitely a step in the right direction! These work weeks need to be eased into; don’t want to pull a muscle or something.

The path stroking went pretty well, although the uniformity of it is a bit off-putting at first. However, for cell-shaded pictures, it’s not as big a deal. I also began using some vector masks as per solwyvern’s tutorials, with limited success. This is how Ayano is doing at the moment.
The method of using vector masks is a bit clunky to me right now. It’s basically shading in the whole area with a color, then cutting out the areas you want. However, when I have adjacent or overlapping areas, I am not completely sure what to do. It also takes a long time to do the base colors this way. I think it will be great for shading and highlighting, but for base colors it’s not that great so far.
