A picture of Chipis' was selected for today's photo feature on the blog Beyond Robson, which is a totally cool honour. You can check out the page here, the original photo is this one:

If you're living in or visiting Vancouver Beyond Robson is a great resource for all the goings on around town, upcoming events, restaurant reviews and all sorts of fun stuff. Check it out and stuff.

Re-poofed

So it looks like the dome on BC place has been repaired and inflated once again.

Here are some before and after shots that I took recently.

Vancouver Snow

Peter Stathakos — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 14:01:00 GMT

It's been snowing for almost two days here in Vancouver, it's really starting to feel like Montreal. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold too, so that should bring back lots of memories. Anyway, there's a bunch of photos on the flickr feed if you're interested...

Mini Flickr Cards

This is a cool web 2.0 company that. Moo.com makes mini bushiness cards which are customized using pictures from your Flickr photostream. And they're giving away free 10 pack samples for the first 10,000 Flickr Pro users. We selected ours the other night and hope to have them in a week or two, so I'll report in when I get them.

The best part is that the price for 100 cards is only $20 US, which is totally reasonable. I may just have to pick up a bunch, we'll see how the samples come out.

Trying Out Zooomr

Update: Added the link to the free Zooomr pro accounts for bloggers.

I just uploaded a bunch of new pictures to the Flickr feed last night, mostly of stuff we did this summer like the Abbotsford Air Show and the Vancouver Zoo.

The cool thing is that a new photo sharing site Zooomr is giving away free one year pro accounts to bloggers, so I'm giving it a shot. I'll try to post all upcoming pictures to both our Flickr and Zooomr feeds and see what works better. So far, one thing I notice is that Zooomr is a little bit faster, but we'll see what happens once I hammer it with a thousand photos or so...

Accessing Flickr with .NET

Here's a good guide on the MSDN Coding 4 Fun site about accessing the Flickr API using .NET.

Vancouver PhotoCamp 2.0?

Peter Stathakos — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 04:58:00 GMT

Well, I wasn't able to make it to the BarCamp Vancouver last week. Unfortunately, I would have liked to attend, I especially would have liked to go to the PhotoCamp. I'm glad to see that Roland is proposing another, longer PhotoCamp. I would definitely be in for it. Anyone else up for it?

Models Of Vancouver (or fake tilt-shift pictures)

Peter Stathakos — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 10:43:00 GMT

Here are some pictures of my other hobby, which is model making. I have painstakingly made models of downtown Vancouver and Whistler, BC. They take many hours of work, and are very labour intensive....

OK, so I lied, these are all actually fake tilt-shift pictures which give the illusion of a model. Here is a link to a good tutorial on making tilt-shift pictures. So get out there and have fun with those vacation pics.
