The Biggest Drawing In The World

Erik Nordenankar had a dream, to create the biggest drawing the world had ever seen, literally, the world.  To do that, he didn’t set out to find the biggest sheet of paper, no, he actually went small, briefcase small.  You see, his canvas was the earth itself, and his brush was a GPS enabled briefcase.

Downtime

I’m here to appologize for the lack of posts since friday.  Unfortunately, there will be less posts as this week progresses.  I just got back from school, and I’m moving all my stuff back into my room at home, that is a less then easy task.  Also in the process, i broke the heatsink on [...]

Indiana Jones Mosaic

In the spirit of the Giant Star Wars mosaic, I made a mosaic of the new Indiana Jones movie posters.  Unlike that one though, it isn’t gigantic wall sized, although, both posters are decently sized at 10916×16170px and 30mb each.  I also used stills from all the Indiana Jones movies, and AndreaMosaic to make it.  [...]

LED cube

Box of Clouds

I’m not exactly sure how this was made, but, I do know that A. it’s awesome, and B. i want one.  It sounds, and looks like it’s easy to make, I just wish there was a list of the things used to make it.  I also would totally buy one.

Site changes

There are a few changes instore for the site onver the coming summer months I hope.  I just need to get some free time to do them, hopefully once I’m done with classes, i will have some of that free time.
There are two main changes, one cosmetic, and one behind the scenes.  First, i found, [...]

How Google Works

How Google Works, is a nice flash animation, (the only thing i think flash is good for), giving the best, simplest, most accurate description of how Google does a search.

Page-view High

Is it sad that I get these “highs” also?  Just this past week I was on a major high with the Xbox 360 in the microwave.  And last month there were the various stumbled posts.  Fortunately, our server has been able to handle all of the traffic and not kill itself, so all is good [...]
