During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim.
However, I have decided to spend more tyime with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors.
Please accept this cake as not notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27.
Sincerely,
W. Neil berrett”

Love this commercial, the gif is great too.
The best application of this technology I have seen so far. Check out the Video also.

Since the 1950s, Topps has sold baseball trading cards filled with photos and stats, bringing the game to life. Now the company is bringing its cards to life.
Beginning Monday, collectors who hold a special Topps 3D Live baseball card in front of a webcam will see a three-dimensional avatar of the player on the computer screen. Rotate the card, and the figure rotates in full perspective. It’s called “augmented reality,” a combination of a real image with a virtual one.
I think I scream at Adobe for this glitch about 2 times a day. It has been doing this in pretty much all OS X Photoshop users for the past few versions of photoshop. All of a sudden you will be doing something simple such as Save for Web, Text Editing, moving a layer, and the Beach Ball of Death will appear and spin for no reason from 1-10 minutes. It only happens with Photoshop at least on my computer. Adobe and Apple are probably ( I am not joking ) responsible for a good 2-5 hours wasted a week between all the people in my office who use photoshop.
Please somebody get me this or find it for me. Soda with sugar instead of corn syrup, no matter what you say, is way better. ( now only if it came in a glass bottle instead of plastic )
UPDATE: Looks like the final artwork is out. They better keep this cane sugar version out for a long time.
Priceless Ending.
