Three professors (a physicist, a chemist, and a statistician) are called in to see their dean. Just as they arrive the dean is called out of his office, leaving the three professors there. The professors see with alarm that there is a fire in the wastebasket.

The physicist says, ‘I know what to do! We must cool down the materials until their temperature is lower than the ignition temperature and then the fire will go out.'

The chemist says, ‘No! No! I know what to do! We must cut off the supply of oxygen so that the fire will go out due to lack of one of the reactants.’

While the physicist and chemist debate what course to take, they both are alarmed to see the statistician running around the room starting other fires. They both scream, ‘What are you doing?’

To which the statistician replies, ‘Trying to get an adequate sample size.’
Hyperlapse: Time-lapse on Steroids!

You probably know what time-lapse is, right? BUT... do you know what _Hyper-lapse Photography_ is? It's "a technique combining time-lapse and sweeping camera movements typically focused on a point-of-interest" [quote from http://www.teehanlax.com/labs/hyperlapse/].

The video below is an example.

 At http://www.teehanlax.com/labs/hyperlapse/, you can create your own hyper-lapse videos from the image material gathered for Google Street View. Just define the start and the end of your journey, and the software will do the rest (with some restrictions to keep the server load manageable).
