I love QTVR! The marina might be a fun place to do one. Here is a marina VR a friend did 9 years ago. My son and I walk along the Berkeley Marina.

I'm getting into QTVR panos, I'd like to do some at Vloggercon.  Are there any good San Francisco places that lend itself to 360 degree panoramas?

See

[ for some reason, my website is down at http://www.comet-track.com/eclipse/secl06/secl06.html ]

[ that pano with the umbrella & bay, is the place in Dahab where the terrorist bombing happened.  The CNN article referred to "body parts" flung into the bay..that was the place!  I was eating breakfast there & my hotel was 100 ft away.  I missed getting blown up by 4 weeks! ]

I'd like to do one, with some Vlogger pioneers in the pic.  Say, at the San Francisco water front.  Or, the Exploratorium:


at one of the exhibits, say video-technology one.  Or, do some conventional photography (get creative) with pioneers like:

[ I need to know who they are, I'm not that well informed in this regard ]


Sidenote:
Check out the Exploratorium's video-podcast of their Live eclipse project:


Mine is also avialable on the "Eclipse Science" video-podcast over iTunes, see the video-blog at:

I blogged my entire eclipse trip:


I was amazed at the Internet connectivity in all the Egypt places I went, even a hole-in-the-wall Internet Cafe in Sallum/Egypt (small border town, Egypt & Libya border):

[ this Internet Cafe was in a back-alley, on the 2nd floor..talk about 3rd world type of thing.  They were using *shared bandwidth* over get this..DIALUP!!  Man, were the downloads slow!  But, it was nevertheless a Internet hookup.  The manager was Egyptian, with an American wife in Detroit..unbelievable. ]

Check out this Internet Cafe in Marsa-Matrouh (between Sidi Barani & El Alamein..big names in WWII history):

[ that's a very attractive Internet Cafe operator, BTW! ]

There was a really excellent Internet Cafe in Dahab (along Red Sea, across from Saudi Arabia..north of Sharm El-Sheikh, that place the politicians goto to meet about "Middle East issues" ].  Don't have a pic, but it was DSL access & the manager spoke good English & was very knowledgable..who was Christian BTW.  I have his contact into (email).  Unfortunately, Dahab was the place that got hit by the "terrorist bombing" (One man's terrorist, is another man's Freedom-Fighter).

I even blogged usiing the DSL computer terminal at Magy Hotel in Cairo/Egypt.. no charge!  See:

[ you can see the Internet terminal in those pics ]

I even blogged from the house I stayed in Salloum:


[ scroll down for entry "Raining on Mar 27 (morning), what !?" ]

& the condo @Marsa Matrouh:

[ scroll down for entry "Blogging from Marsa-Matrouh" ]

The above 2 places were down with dialup connection.
