150" of Plasma Lifewall Glory

Why any human would ever need an 150 inch television is beyond me, but Panasonic has been showing off their manhood with this monster of a TV. Considered to be the largest TV ever produced, this 11 feet by 6.25 feet giant has 8.84 million pixels (4K) resolution which has very little programing available. Though some may want it now, this monster of a machine has no model number, no price tag, and no date for commercialization. If you don't think it's that big, take a look at this thing compared to last years 103 inch plasma.

Found on Flickr Fridays!

1.04.2008's Word: 'Resolution'

This Flickr user, erin jaffe, had a very interesting way of portraying her way of moving into 2008. So far, two images have been posted using this split look with a simple white line to separate two images, one being a bad choice (2007) and one being a good choice (2008). The photography is simple but is artistic and has colors that pop and compliment each other. The photographs depth of field also adds a bit of emotion to the photograph that would be lost if everything was in focus. The photography style has a lot of strong vignetting that adds even more emotion to what could have been a very stiff photograph.

For 2008 I have not really made any resolutions and never really have in the past. I probably would just follow the popular resolutions that everyone seems to take. Things like getting in better shape, eating better, making more money, being happy more often. I don't like to think there is ONE goal that I have to reach, because what if you don't reach it? I like to think that new years resolutions are about bettering yourself and making a positive improvement overall.

*About This Section*
Heres hoping, each Friday I will bring you a Flickr posted photo that represents a word. Sometimes the word will have to do with an event that occurred during the week, or sometimes it will be something totally random. The idea is to expose people to photography and photographers that aren't getting exposed, and to expose photographers that should be getting exposed. It's really just for fun and to see some interesting shoots people have taken.

USA TODAY asks, "Can you out-predict the media experts?"

With the start of a new year and all the crazy things that are going on in the media and technology world, USA TODAY asks if you can out-predict the media experts. Follow the link to both the story and the quiz to see how the media world will fare in 2008. With iTunes now not being the only contender for online music and movies, and the writers still on strike, it's going to be an interesting 366 days: I just hope I don't have to take my HD DVD player back. There are no prizes, just glory. Good Luck.
