Don't know if I am allowed to enter again? This is from our Balcony :) Want to win some more!!!

Sure you can, but stop winning :p !

Also you might want to resize/compress that image, it's huge! took a while for it to load, could be just me though.

LOL'z

Will have time this weekend to redo a big part of my site and compress all my images.....

New to the Photo thing SUPER SORRY!!!!!! Will have to redo my the whole thing: www.creatographylabs.com

I had an idea in my head but so far I haven't managed to pull it off and now the weather is ruining it so I may have to drop it and come up with something new.

I'm trying to push myself and do something new but maybe stretching a little beyond my capabilities at the moment!

whoa!

The gum wall near the Seattle Fisherman Market. Actually, missed the last part of the tag... So, just a fun pic. Not from my window. ;) - Don't expect to win with that one.

Hey, it counts! thanks for collaborating with teh cause!

I didn't take a lot of time with my photo because I was about 2 mins from leaving for the day when I looked out side and saw my neighbors lawn from a graduation party the night before. Thought it would be a great entry. Seeing how that was the view from outside my window. I knew by the time I got home it would be cleaned up.

Cool looking bokeh! I'm guessing it was through the metallic netting?(or whatever it's called).

yeah it was the windscreen/bug screen. lol. I don't have the greatest view so I just had to be a bit creative.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
