Today I won a little reward for being the first one to answer a sort of quiz @work. In exchange, I came up with one of my own:
In a typical Wild West saloon, somewhere in the 1800s, in one late night three cowboys were playing poker at one of the tables. The setting was specific to those times, an oil lamp lit in the corner, other cowboys at the bar making jokes and drinking whisky, old wild-west typical three-legged wooden tables and chairs, the sheriff and his deputy at another table nearby.
Suddenly, a breeze of wind extinguishes the lamp that was lit in the corner and the whole saloon goes dark. A gunshot is heard and when the barman lights up the lamp again one of the three cowboys that were playing poker was lying on the ground, shot. The sheriff who was seated nearby comes to investigate. He asks one of the dead cowboy’s friends:
- What were you doing when your friend was shot?
- (without hesitation) …the table was moving so I put a match box under one of the legs to prevent it from shaking.
Sheriff seems happy with this answer so he goes to ask the second cowboy:
- And what about you, what were you doing when your friend was shot?
- (very much hesitant, avoiding to look the sheriff in the eye) …I was… I was trying to pull an ace out of my sleeve, to win this hand.
After he thinks everything over, the sheriff rises up in front of them and says: “One of the two of you is a liar”. After several seconds, he points his finger to one of the two cowboys and says: “You’ve killed him”.
Question for you is: How did the sheriff find out who’s the killer and trying to hide his crime with a lie?
Whoever gives the first answer correctly gets a reward. The same that I got, actually :D. You can pick it up from my desk

!! From my “long” digital photographer experience, I just created my first panoramic photo! Do not expect to find an actual panorama… why I call it so it is because I have successfully managed to stitch two pictures together… and the result came out quite nice. (Or at least… this is what I like to think.) I will show you how it started, how I went through, how I got to the final result. But first, let me tell you its story:
…a wish 
. A big wish I’d say! So I took the shot, and unfortunately I was not quick enough to take a one shot only. I needed two: one for Julia’s wish, second for Pasha’s. After one year… more than a year, I found out that you can put together two pictures, and to create a picture from two “halves”. The software I used is Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. Enjoy the “tutorial”:
… Please share your own work too, and if you’re a Flickr member, 
: a gadget which is called Window Phone, and what’s basically? It’s just a piece of polished transparent glass, able to display the current weather conditions just by blowing onto it. If it is a sunny day 
, it will remain a transparent clear glass, behaving like an usual phone. If it rains 
for instance, it will display water drops. If it is cold, snowy or whatever 
, it will be steamy. It will not get steamy actually 
, it will only display it. Scroll down the post to see images.
