Microsoft Surface will be part of Extra TV entertainment magazine tonight.

Mario Lopez will be using Surface to dish all the breaking entertainment news with photos, video, music and more. Catch it or set your DVR. 

If you miss it, don't worry. Surface is now a regular part of the show. Tune in!

Back in June, we met up with Bill Crow at LiveLabs to show bloggers Seadragon on Surface. Bill had some great content, including some initial content from the Yosemite Extreme Panorama Project. Then in July I met up with Bill again to look at Seadragon on Surface. This time he was at the Microsoft Pro Photo Summit showing an excellent Seadragon compilation of the photos from the project. You can get a debrief from the Sobleizer blog. You can also see the photos yourself on xRez's site using Microsoft Silverlight with DeepZoom.

I know this is a bit dated, but I finally got my video from the event ready to put up online. Honestly, I think this combination of Seadragon and Surface is so compelling, it's worth the wait.

[Update: I think I accidently deleted the video. Doh! I've re-uploaded it and updated the post below.]
 

What do you think of those gigapixel images?

One of my colleagues just dug up this photo from TechCrunch50. It's a TwitPic from jacobmullins of MC Hammer using Microsoft Surface. Next thing you know the really chic nerds will be sporting parachute pants. While we're on 80's nostalgia, just say no!
