Photobomb no more. Get it Removed~!

There's a new worthwhile photography application for the Android OS. It's called Remove by Scalado. The Scalado team designed the Remove app to remove virtually any stranger that comes in to your photo. Where is it useful? In public places, in tourist spots. Taking pictures there are virtually difficult because of the many people around, and sometimes, some even want to 'photobomb' and ruin the moment. With Remove, you can take them out of your final photo.

How does it work, you might ask? Well, the app takes multiple pictures and allows you to specifically take out the moving elements [people, or other objects]. The only tricky thing here is that it requires you to be steady with the camera and to hold it a bit longer than you normally would. It's a good, if not great proof of concept when perfected.

Scalado would be introducing this app to the Mobile World Congress this upcoming February 27, 2012. I personally can't wait to see this app in the Market.

There's a video in Yahoo for it, which demonstrates how it works.

Parting... part n

Another one of the people I've grown close to spent their final day at the office today. This was a complete shocker to me as I didn't know about it until a few hours until her logout. I don't know, maybe I'm just a bit sentimental, but in what seemed like a blur, it was done. Another person moving on with her life, and me heartbroken. 

No, it's not that way. It never was. It's just that during my entire stay at work, I've grown so much and been so close to the past five and a half years and it always is difficult for me to see people go. That's the heartbreak part. From teammates, to close friends, it always stings when someone goes. 

For what would seem to be the last time, I walked with them, sharing thoughts and stories, and seeing her take her ride. It felt so normal for her... maybe, just another day. But there I was, pondering as to why it seemed normal for everyone but me.

Tomorrow, another longtime friend would be ending her tenure. She's been there longer than me, and she's made her choice to move on with her life and take her talents closer to home. I'll be at home during her last goodbyes. Such a pity I couldn't be there. I wish I could've been there at least, but that's how it goes, I guess.

If it's time for me to go, I wonder if someone would think of me the same way I think about my closest friends. Would someone miss me, look for me, try to keep in touch with me if I'm the one leaving?

Fields and fields of opinion

Sometimes I wonder if I'm being just confident or if I am bordering on arrogance. At times, I'm just shy and quiet, but I see that part of the change instilled in me by being part of support is that I have to get along with a lot of other people and in turn, has turned me into someone a bit outgoing. I ponder if I rub people the wrong way, which is inevitable I guess, but makes me think about it nonetheless.
