JPEG rival from Microsoft

Not another graphics file format, big deal it makes files smaller with less distortion (the holy grail for all graphics formats), why doesn't MS submit it to the JPEG working committee and have it made into a new option in the existing JPEG format, makes more sense, sorry MS won't make any money of that option my mistake.

Ship Horns

This post is just me playing with Picasa.

The pic is a capture from a movie that I found on a web site of a guy in the US that restores old air raid sirens and ship horns.

The site has some recordings of air raid sirens that will come in handy when the neighbor's have parties that go into the late hours. Posted by Picasa
