She seems to like what she sees:

I converted this image from a stock photo by Lev Dolgachov (the same photographer who shot the beautiful woman in the white skirt). I may have a use for her later, in house ads or link graphics, or some similar application.

All right, I guess I'm officially on a food kick. Just as with the bananas yesterday, I converted this avocado from a stock photo by Gudmund Årseth.

I made this 3D image of a bunch of bananas from a stock photo by Gudmund Årseth. I get a lot of good stock images from Crestock, most of them for free. (No, I don't steal them; they have a different free image every day.)

On Sept. 5, the European Space Agency's Rosetta probe transmitted dramatic 3-D photographs of 2867 Steins, an asteroid in the belt orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Because of its shape and unusual brightness, Steins has been called a "diamond in the sky."

The Rosetta craft will be approaching the larger asteroid 21 Lutetia in July of 2010, and will actually land on the surface of a comet in November of 2014, and ride on it around the sun for a year! Stay tuned.
