"Vivids as highlighters"
I think that an onion article, from back when it was funny, has been doing the rounds in the past few weeks, and it did feel a bit like life imitating satire when the news of this came out.

This is wrong on so many levels:

Everyone knows starving artists produce great works of art, so logically the best way to create a golden age of arts...

As someone supportive of MMP, I am feeling this morning that National has acted in very poor faith over the whole referendum saying this will be the process then ditching it when they did not get the outcome they wanted.
I also felt, from listening to Morning Report today, that Judith Collins was basing "Unable to reach consesus" on each party's wish list of ideal MMP being different.I guess I am disgruntled that some that was claimed through the process to be about finding out what the people want is revealed to be so nakedly about politcal interest. I will also be reacting very negatively to National describing Labour and the Greens as engaging in political stunts for the next while, after this whole "referendum process".

I am, as a citizen, increasingly heartened by the increasing availability of good quality information for making one's own comparisons with. So, for example, when the government announces it is getting tough on benefit fraud one can pull the comparison figures on the size of tax fraud and compare the effort spent on getting tough on each.
But I am also feeling that there really needs to be some exposure to tools like the free, open source, R (for mathematical/statistical analysis) at high school to have a generation that knows what they are capable of doing to check the statements of authority. -
I must admit, I tend to think- that's technically very, very clever but I don't have an actual use for it

The app I spotted was focustwist (iPhone/ iPod only, basically the models that you can set the focus lock on)
-
I see there is actually a focus shifting iOS app now, mimicking the Lytro. Ideally your foreground object should be three to five inches away, and you need to keep the iDevice still while it takes multiple pictures at different focuses. I can see camera manufactures add this implementation in the near future.

Digging around, here is one from Autumn 2010 I don’t think I have posted here

My camera is tied up in my daughter’s science fair for the next few months, so I’ll be picking through the archive
