While I was in Colorado last week I was surrounded by beautiful scenery everywhere I looked and I found myself constantly thinking I’d like to have a panoramic app for my iPhone. Grant it the iPhone camera is not the best. I figured if there was an app to do quick panoramic shots that would do the photo stitching automatically then that would be be worth it and the iPhone takes okay pictures in good outside lighting.

A friend of mine, Jarrett Franklin that was with me on the trip told me about this panoramic iPhone called Pano that he had heard good things about and I checked it out and sure enough it was pretty nice. Here are some panromaic shots I created with the Pano app for the iPhone.

My friend Jarrett Franklin and I headed out to Denver yesterday take a break from stuff before things started to get crazy again with school and internships. We got here late last night and hit up few cool places here in Denver and now Franklin, my brother and me are about to head out to our family cabin Nathrop, Co.

This is Franklin’s first time to Colorado and his first time to be in the Rocky Moutains. What better people to show a newcomer around in Colorado then a couple of guys that have been vacationing here since we were little ones.

I’ve already taken a few pictures here and there so be sure to watch the link below because I will be updating my photos page with shots from the trip over the next few days.

After another long hiatus we’ve finally recorded another show. We had to get a podcast in for 2008 since we hadn’t done one all year and with 3 minutes left in 2008 we got it done just in time. My friend Jarrett, my brother Jeremy and his wife Sarah join me on the show to bring in the New Year here in Oklahoma and in Colorado. We talk a little bit of tech, our News Year’s resolutions and best 2008 things.

If you want to use iTunes just subscribe to the show in the podcast directory on iTunes by searching for Justin Sanchez.

It’s been a long time since the last podcast we did, which was around this time last year on December 16th. It just doesn’t seem right to roll in to 2009 without ever having a podcast for 2008 so ideas are rolling and plans are being put together. A show is near.

If you got any ideas or would like to be on the show drop a comment in or IM me.

Here are the ones that I wouldn’t want to be without.

Twitter.com – Keeps me in touch with friends and family. (What is it?)
Digg.com – Voted on news.
Digsby – Multi Protocol Instant Message Client with social networking apps (Twitter, Facebook, etc…)
iPhone – Syncs my podcast &  music and runs all sorts of useful apps.
Firefox – My choice in web broswer. Featured packed & extension support.
Flickr – Easily lets me share photos and photo blog.
uTorrent – Best torrent client out there for getting things from “spaces.”

Kitty, originally uploaded by sp4rky.

I woke up one morning, about a week before Thanksgiving, from an upsetting dream that was about my first cat named Kitty (I know, bad name). The details are hard to recall but I remember that something had happened to my cat, I don’t think I knew what happened but I knew that I’d best prepare myself for the departure of Kitty and right after that I woke up. It was an odd dream and to make it even odder two days after the dream my Mom called me up telling me that Kitty had passed away two days ago sometime in the night. My jaw literally dropped and I told my mom about the dream which shocked her as well.

Kitty was old and her movement wasn’t so great in the past few months before her death and because of the dream I had I knew that if Kitty was to ever to pass that she would be pain free and that I should be happy for that. I know that this story my read odd to some but the moral of the story was worth the write. We may miss a loved one or pet but we should always be happy that they are in a better place. I know I’ve said that I wouldn’t make post about personal feelings and such but I thought this one was worth it.
