Interesting video from Caltech (where I went to college) and JPL about the invention of CMOS image sensors (though Wikipedia makes me think lots of others were working in this area at the time) in the 1990s.

Amazingly I bought my first digital camera, a $600 Olympus with 640x480 resolution and non-removable memory for only 20 such images (I think it was the D-200L) in time for my cross country bicycle trip in 1997.

A couple weeks ago I was scrolling through NASA's image of the day and found what is currently my new desktop wallpaper. I know the moon flyby is the hotness right now, but I will probably always be a little biased towards the rovers because they are so neat. I also just liked the look of this shot, stitching artifacts and all.
