I have been catching the train from Newcastle to Sydney a couple of times a week lately. There is some really stunning views from Hornsby to Gosford so I snapped some images on my phone and here they are.

The puppy that followed me home
This puppy followed me home.
Her bum kind of looked like Jesus.
I put up some “Puppy Found” notices and then I let her sleep in my bed.
The next day I took her to the local vet and her owner picked her up.

Augmented Reality T-Shirt
I have been playing around with augment reality apps for Android and thinking of useful ways to integrate them into my every day life. Augmented reality fashion will allow us to change our appearance with a push of a button. Imagine having a video conference wearing a comfortable t-shirt but appearing as though you are wearing a suit. Other applications include awesome Halloween costumes, girlfriends getting ready quickly, and never turning up to a party wearing the same clothes as someone else. This is just a fun proof of concept but I will attempt to make more useful 3d models to augment over the real t-shirt.
Augmented reality is in its infancy but in the future we should be able to create really useful applications such as augmented girlfirends.
If you are interested in making your own AR t-shirt follow this quick how to and download the AndAR Android App.
Step one: get someone else to buy you a t-shirt
Step two: test proof of concept
Step three: get someone else to cut out screen printing stencil
Step four: align and tape stencil on t-shirt
Step five: screen print
Step six: play with cool AndAR Screen printed t-shirt

Updated site
I have finally updated my site in preparation of my new Android phone. Nerd talk now. Previously Gregology.net was run on a custom content management system I made with the blog running on wordpress. Now I’ve migrated the whole site onto wordpress with the zBench theme.
