Mildly sick
Wed Jun 15, 2005 20:06 (UTC -5)Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat. Today it’s not as bad, but I’m coughing more. I’m somewhat congested and feeling slightly blah. Yes, folks, for the first time since I started blogging in July 2003, I am sick.
But I’m only mildly sick, mind you. If I were really sick I’d be planted in front of the TV right now, covered in blankets and with a tissue box or two at my side. Just thinking about it makes my nose run. I’d better keep this short.
I don’t know how I’ve got this; after all, I haven’t really done anything this week. But hopefully I’ll be better tomorrow. I’m just glad that I didn’t get sick during the school year; I know I haven’t been sick in over two years because (a) I would have blogged about it, and searches turn up nil; and (b) I had perfect attendance in school this past year and the year before.
I’ve posted some cool stuff before, but this is truly amazing. Everyone knows that colorizing black-and-white movies (or still photographs) is a time-consuming and expensive process. Well, a few smart folks at a university found an apparently simpler method (warning: image-heavy site) of extremely lifelike colorization. I’ll admit I can’t remember the last time I saw a colorized movie, so I don’t know how this stacks up to more traditional processes, but I’d imagine it’s much easier. But it’s not just for giving lifelike colors to black-and-white images. They also show its usefulness in the more mundane task of changing the colors of certain objects.
