As we know State Fair of Texas is just around the corner but if you're not into the deep dried foods they offer nor into the rides ... here's something new The Chinese Lantern Festival debuts in the Southwest for the 1st time I believe.  The event will take place at the lagoon inside fair park ground and from the website it looks pretty interesting.

Super Moon will rise tonight!!!

yes, super moon is just what it sound like strangely LARGE moon, it should be a spectacular view if you happen to step outside tonight or early morning Sunday morning. This phenomenon happens once a year when the Moon is closest to the Earth....the result it'll be about 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual and it'll become the fullest around 7am Sunday 6.23 this should be an good chance for everyone to snap some cool photos! "The full Moon has a reputation for trouble," wrote Tony Phillips, an astronomer who maintains  NASA's Science News site . "It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes.   http://abcnews.go.com/

First Entry!!!

So this is my first post also I've posted the 5 .gif photo cliplet I've created using Microsoft Research Cliplet software  http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/cliplets/   CLICK ON THE PHOTOS to make it larger and see it without the black outlines! once you installed and open cliplet program, you simply upload a video clip...then using the lever on top you drag it to choose the frame for the background, then on right side underneath your photo icon click add layer (loop) then circle the area on the screen where you want the action / place to continue looping and you can drag / control the time looped then all you do is press the play button on the bottom and export the project to .gif tile ... TA DA! cliplet done! .... have fun trying it out and post your work!!! =)
