I work in the CREATE Lab inside the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I work mostly on GigaPan - my main focus is on a project that empowers scientists to use GigaPan to document and communicate their discoveries both to their peers and to the public. This project, the Fine Outreach for Science, equips and trains scientists on the gigapan system thanks to a generous grant from The Fine Foundation.
So far, we have over 100 scientists using gigapan across the world - the program has been such a huge success that the foundation will fund a conference in November 2010 on gigapixel imaging for science.
Learn more about the conference at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fofs or check out the most recent gigapans taken by Fine Fellows: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/tag/fofs/most_recent/

After the end of World War I and the recession that followed in 1919 and 1920, the Highland Park district experienced its second major building boom. By this time, the automobile had become a common sight on Pittsburgh’s streets, and had opened up for development areas of town that had previously been considered undesirable because of steep hillsides or distance from streetcar lines. Such areas in Highland Park – remote Cordova Road in the western section, the central section rising north of Bryant Street, and much of the hilly eastern part of the neighborhood – became the sites of the most intense construction activity.
In addition, the continuing growth of the city increased the pressure on the neighborhood for higher-density development. Double houses became more common, and some small apartment buildings were built, but the primary effect of this pressure was the demolition of large houses and the subdivision of their lots for new houses.
Thomas Bigelow’s mansion on N. Highland Avenue (across Jackson Street from his brother Edward’s house) was razed to make way for Wayne Road and sixteen houses.
