Eric + Indira | Wedding Highlights Video

Another wedding highlights video by me and Francis. Eric and Indira were a fun couple to work with. They were extremely down to earth and they had one of the best receptions I've seen with a Spanish themed night.

An interesting fact is that this was the first wedding where we had the opportunity to shoot alongside Ed Pingol, a photographer I've looked up to since even before I started doing event coverage.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Adding Google's +1 (plus one) button to your Posterous

As well all know, Javascript isn’t allowed in Posterous themes. Luckily, iframes are and that’s what we’ll use to go around the no Javascript limitation.

Simply go to your Posterous dashboard, click "Settings" on the top right, then click the "Edit Theme" button and select the "Advanced tab". Now, all you have to do is paste one of the following snippets where you want the button to show up and click the "Save, I’m done!" button.

Standard button:

Tall button:

That’s all you have to do to integrate Google +1 to your Posterous.

If you want to host the script yourself, the source code is available on Github:

git clone https://olalonde@github.com/olalonde/google-plusone-posterous.git

Thanks to Olivier Lalonde for writing this tutorial!

Google Launches Its Answer to Facebook: Introducing Google+

Google has finally unveiled Google+, the company’s top secret social layer that turns all of the search engine into one giant social network.

Google+, which begins rolling out a very limited field test on Tuesday, is the culmination of a year-long project led by Vic Gundotra, Google’s senior vice president of social. The project, which has been delayed several times, constitutes Google’s answer to Facebook.

The search giant’s new social project will be omnipresent on its products, thanks to a complete redesign of the navigation bar. The familiar gray strip at the top of every Google page will turn black, and come with several new options for accessing your Google+ profile, viewing notifications and instantly sharing content. The notification system is similar to how Facebook handles notifications, complete with a red number that increases with each additional notice.
