===== April, 2009 =====
    * [[http://www.hdrsoft.com/|Photomatix]] | Commercial HDR software. Actually I prefer the 'Fattal' tonemapping in Qtpfsgui, but for reality Photomatix excels. Notice: the free trial does not expire, and can be used to import multi-exposure RAW images and align them. It is possible to save the pictures in .HDR format, and import them into qtpfgui (which is not able to read the RAW files from my Canon 1000D).
    * <*> [[http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/|Qtpfsgui]] | Free software for creating HDR shots.

    * <*> [[http://www.getdropbox.com/|Dropbox]]. Syncs files between computers with revision history. Cross-platform. 2GB free. I've recently dropped using LiveMesh (too CPU- and ram-intensive), but this one looks very promising.

This is really fascinating - being able to zoom from outer space into the brushstrokes on a painting in Madrid. In related news, Google Maps added transit layers for many cities, including [[http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=55.673519,12.616768&spn=0.109192,0.363922&z=12&lci=transit&iwloc=lyrftr:transit,0x4652531794060bc7:0x22205011ea57448e,55.679475,12.585096|Copenhagen]].
