Humayun’s Tomb
Humayun’s tomb in Delhi. Some of the inspiration and techniques used in the Taj Mahal came from here.
Late afternoon/evening is a great time to photograph in north India; when the sun is high, instead, the light is very flat and harsh.
Morning and evening are also good for videoing birds and other wildlife.
I’ve been using the HDR function on my iPhone a lot. I try to choose which of the two resulting photos is better, but sometimes each is good in a different way, so I keep them both.
Lecco: Between Lake Como and the Alps
Want to see (and, in winter, ski) the Alps? Get off the train in Lecco and walk across the station parking lot to the bus stand in via Montello, where the #5 bus departs, roughly every hour, for the Funivia (you can buy bus tickets at the newsstands inside or outside the railway station, or on the bus itself, though that will cost more).
Take the #5 all the way up the hill to the end of the line at the Funivia (cable car). Take the cable car to Piani d’Erna:
…where you will find ski facilities, restaurants, hotels, bars, and an unbeatable view of this end of Lake Como (above).

node.js Community Event: Rough Cut Videos
Joyent hosted a node.js community event at our San Francisco offices the other evening, in which Ryan Dahl announced a new version of node.js, and Brendan Gregg showed some amazing stuff you can do with Joyent Cloud Analytics on your no.de hosted site to understand what’s going on in your node.js app.
For more details on cloud analytics, see Dave’s and Robert’s blogs, and two more hours of video with Bryan and Brendan demoing.
Technical difficulties with UStream meant I didn’t have a stream recorded to their servers that night, technical difficulties with everything else meant I couldn’t get these rough cuts hosted anywhere til now. This is exactly what you would have seen on the stream (and more), including the bad camera angle which was forced by… oh never mind. A better view of cloud analytics will be forthcoming.
(NB: These videos disappeared from Joyent some time ago. Sorry.)
