Google Street View Time Lapse, by joelaz
I noticed Google updated the images for Street View in San Francisco, so I spent a few minutes updating my time lapse of the Golden Gate Bridge. It would be cool if there was a website that automatically generated time lapse videos of drives through cities using images from Google Street View. This is just a rough example of what they might look like,...

Clarion Alley, by Joe Lazarus
I really like the video player on Facebook. The HD quality is good, the player design is simple and clean, and the video upload process is much faster than Vimeo, which is painfully slow compared to Flickr, YouTube, & Facebook (I’m not yet a paid Plus subscriber on Vimeo).

Social Weight Loss Site Idea
A little over a month ago, I decided it was time to lose some weight. I’ve lost 10 pounds so far and hope to loose another 10 or so, which will put me at about 150 pounds (I’m 5’8”). I’ve been using the Lose It! iPhone app to track my progress, which is a useful tool, but I’ve been thinking that there’s an opportunity to create a much more viral, social...
TumblRSS →
Create an RSS feed of your Tumblr Dashboard. Tumblr should provide an official version of this as a feed and through their API, but till then, this hack seems like a decent option (requires that you trust them with your password).

This is awesome. DJ Kutiman created seven original songs out of various remixed video clips from YouTube. You can jump to the next track using the playlist links on the right side of the page. The first song is my favorite (via ZeFrank).

A private home designed with a retractable roof that slides open in warm weather.
Flickr Video: Now In HD →
Flickr added support for 800px HD video for their Pro members today. It looks like videos previously uploaded in HD (like this one I posted Saturday) were automatically converted over to the new, wider format. Flickr Clock also launched today, which is a new Explore feature for watching videos by time of day.
BART Guitar, by joelaz
I stopped to listen to this man play a few songs in the SF subway (aka BART) on Saturday. I love street performers. This guy has a pretty good voice. I didn’t catch his name, but he told me he’s a big star on YouTube :)
