Very cool, Didier. It has a computer generated (like a CAD drawing) look to it.

Some Indian sweets come with edible silver or gold paper on them (to be honest they taste pretty bad without the paper and even worse with it)

I did an HDR in photoshop... I had to correct the moon manually - as you can see ;-)a because it looked really wrong after the HDR processing...

Not even close to a fair comparison. I look forward to some day having you cook me up a meal. :)

I have never done that. I have considered it, but never made the move to actually do it. I guess the camera would have to be synced with the GPS, and many GPS units seem to automatically update to their position via sattelite.

you can usually set the GPS to "Local" time, a specific time zone, or Zulu. As long as the camera and GPS (and computer, depending on how you download; BreezeBrowser, for instance, has a fit if the TZ changes or if you go between DST/ST when it checks for downloaded files) are set to the same TZ, you're good.

A NEW WON FAT DAN HOROSCOPE! JUST FOR YOU!

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY FALLS BETWEEN...


January 1- February 13: You are in the house of the Koala Bear. Which, really, is not so much a bear as it is an animated stuffed animal. You are lovable, cuddly and have very fluffy ears. You also suffer from low energy and have a strange craving for eucalyptus leaves. Afternoons are the best time for you, since you usually get up around noon and are pretty lethargic after dinner. A good match for you is anyone from the house of the Girafferwocky.

CUSP: Feb 10-Feb 16: You will have the tendencies of the Australian Gnome Bear Lawyer. Wow, you're gonna have some serious internal conflicts. Like, when to nap, when to go surfing and when to litigate your neighbor for eucalyptus infringement.

February 14-March 31: You are in the house of the Lawyer Gnome. You are intelligent, crafty and usually a Type A personality. Unfortunately, you have many emotional and inter-personal issues because you are also short, mythical and, well, a lawyer. You find your creative release in gardening, farming and reading up on tort reform. Your best time of the day is right before the jury comes out with the verdict. A good match for you is anyone from house of the Himalayan Tornado.

CUSP: March 29 - April 3: You will bear the intricacies of a fun loving, crazy Lawyer Gnome who wears hawaiian shirts to trial.

April 1- May 15: You are in the house of The Loaded Mashed Potato. You have it all, a little bit of that and a little bit of this. You are unorthodox, slightly wrong in the head and, at times, incomprehensible. People are drawn to you because you are seen as either being harmless or somewhat of an eccentric. The best time of day for you is between midnight and asparagus. An excellent match for you is someone from the house of the Marauding Kangaroo Mouse.

CUSP: May 12 - May 17: You will be an easy-going, footloose and fancy free neatnik.

May 16- June 30: You belong to the house of Golden Dusting Rag. You are essential to everyone, yet you tend to be overlooked. Without you, things seem old, neglected and unkempt. With you, everything seems bright, fresh and pristine. You don't mind doing the dirty work to bring out the best in others. The downside is that you make almost everyone sneeze. Hard to find a middle ground on that. The best time of day for you is right before the Mother-in-Law shows up. An good hook-up for you are the Koala Bear household.

CUSP: June 28 - July 2: You're a very tidy, ship-shape Mouse with pillaging traits.

July 1- August 15: You are in the house of the Marauding Kangaroo Mouse. You are considered by most to be very cute and approachable. You possess the qualities of sweetness, compassion and a swashbuckling pirate. There is no plunder safe from your cuteness. With a coy smile and an endearing smirk, you raise the Jolly Roger against the Armada of Normalcy. The best time of day for you is between five and eight bells. Look to the house of the Loaded Mashed Potato for lasting romance.

CUSP: August 11 - August 17: The most dangerous cusp in the skies. A Marauding Mouse that has the reckless abandon of the Girafferwocky.

August 16 - September 30: You are in the house of the Girafferwocky. For those of you that don't know, the Girafferwocky is an animal from the Wonkiterran culture; an animal that has the head and neck of a giraffe, the legs of a velociraptor and the body of a jabberwocky. You are fearless, brave and somewhat reckless. Your deeds tend to create unwanted attention and the fanbase can hinder your heroic quests. The best time of day for you is right at 2:23 p.m. exactly. You might find a good match with someone from the house of the Gnome Lawyer.

CUSP: September 28 - October 3: Mayhem. Devastation. Catastrophe. And really nice cheese souffles.

October 1 - November 14: You belong to the house of Himalayan Tornado. You are a rare find and usually seem out of place, no matter where you are. Chaos and destruction are your room-mates and the three of you rampage throughout the land. You are the Anti-OCD, the Royal Mess and the Violently Unscheduled. But you're an excellent cook, especially in the area of cheese based dishes. Your best time of the day is between 5 p.m. and GAAAA! You should team up with the Golden Dusting Rag.

CUSP: November 12- November 17: You bring devastation wherever you go. Ruin and Cataclysm are in your wake. But no one seems to mind because it's like a Frat Party.

November 15 - December 31: You are in the house of the Three Meat Pizza with Rising Crust. You are the party. You bring friends together. A Sunday Football afternoon is meaningless without you. Sure, sometimes you bring along heartburn and bad gas, but you're worth it! No matter the time of day, no matter the weather, no matter economy, you make a dull get-together a celebration. Your best time is whenever. Your best match is with, well, just about everyone. I mean, you're a pizza!

CUSP: December 28- January 3: An easy-going and casual Koala Bear that has all the charm and attractiveness of a Three Meat Pizza? Over New Year's? You're like the King of Cusps!

I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Just in the nick of time. It's been 14 months since the last horoscope and 10 since the last Won Fat Dan. We've missed him!

Although I'm getting a bit dizzy trying to sort out the alignments starting with the Koala Bear.

I remember John mentioning BreezeBrowser, I will have to have a look at it further.
