National History HDR

Result of my last visit to London, at the National History Museum. A good thing of being a PhD, is the opportunity to go to such great conferences as MICCAI, in such great locations as London!
Took some shots in the museum, and then HDR them. I corrected the perspective – the columns there were ugly.

The girl in green in the middle, Neda, my friend and colleague, she was just there, standing and waiting for me to finish shooting But it helps with the dynamics of the photo.

And my site is finally up. Well.. it’s actually about my PhD research, publications and that sort of stuff.

ISMRM@Hawaii – day 1

Being a PhD, besides having very annoying things, has great qualities! For example, conferences in Hawaii!
The trip is horrible: started 6h00 in Eindhoven, Friday, and arrived 20h Friday also – I just love time traveling

this looks nicer in google earth!

Woke up at 6h in the morning, actually not *ucked up from jet lag or anything – I guess being in the same time but the reverse am/pm helps! Honolulu is great! Blue sky, warm, sun, beach, the pacific. Nothing like a sunny walk at 7 in the morning! People are just happy here! They smile at you in the street. I missed sun!

Ok, the conference itself. Seems great till now. Had the chance to chat with Patric Hangmann and his great work in mapping connectivity. Have to do something with this! Keep tuned

Another great thing of conferences is meeting the people you know and appreciate.
OH, I have a boomerang from Daniel Alenxander! Cool! Can’t wait to start hunting with it!

I will stop writing for now. More to come. Photos even!

cheers from morning 1

PS: I still didn’t fall to sleep! niiiiice

My past life

Let’s call this a bit of self advertisement, ego boost and such
OK, the news is in portuguese but c’est la vie. To summarize, a Portuguse mobile company, MobiComp, was bought by Microsoft, thus becoming a R&D part of Microsoft. They are giving to the world this cool app for Windows Mobile phones that will backup and restore your critical data: contacts, calendar, messages, etc! Read here.

The ego part is that I was working here (started as internship) before I started my PhD, and there should be some code of mine in there
COOOOL

Larissa and Kadu at their best!!!
