It&#8217;s a tool for creating time lapse movies from a collection of photos of the sort that you&#8217;ve probably seen online, like\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iPPzXlMdi7o\">this one<\/a>\u00a0by one of the app&#8217;s developer&#8217;s Noah Kalina, or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xgxxxKwlra8\">this one<\/a>\u00a0by the mysterious ClickFlashWhirr (who is much better looking and better able to stay still than me),\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/34766625\">this great one<\/a>\u00a0of a Pacific Crest Trail hiker, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5ky6vgQfU24\">this one<\/a>\u00a0of a hike and growing beard in China.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, so the app makes it easy, and I enjoy movies of this sort, so I thought I&#8217;d have a go at making my own. I made it until mid-February before I missed a day. It was about 1:00 am in the morning and I realized I missed my shot. From that point forward I took a more relaxed approach, trying to remember to get my photo every day, but not worrying too much if I missed one or two here and ther. In the end I captured 292 photos over 367 days (2012 was a Leap Year! And I included New Year&#8217;s Day 2013 to end the movie).<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in October, I decided to let my beard grow through the end of the year. My beard had many motivations; partly a hiking beard, an Election mojo beard, some reason you&#8217;re not supposed to shave in November, an experiment to see what was left on top of my head after almost two years of wearing a close shave, and an opportunity to be Santa. My wife suffered horribly during these three months as my face became her nightmare. I had promised all along that it would be gone by New Year&#8217;s, but I never said it would go all at once. Trimming it bit by bit at the end of the year was one of the funnest parts of this effort.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot to see, cramming 366 days into 30 seconds, and there is much there you can easliy miss. The individual photos are all posted in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/casey.com\/everyday\/\">this Flickr set<\/a>\u00a0if you&#8217;re interested in a closer look at any of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late in 2011, my brother showed me a cool iPhone app called Everyday.
