The Windy City.  That’s where I’ve been, and why there’s been no posts recently.  Anyway, I’m back, and as soon as I go through my 1400 unread feeds, I’ll start with some more crazyness to post about.  But for now, here are some pretty pictures from my adventure. Buckingham Fountain. A little kid walked in [...]

RACER DEMO 0.1 – video game mashup from sputnic on Vimeo. This is awesome.  Some Germans made a race track, got a model car, attached a webcam to it.  Then controls for the RC car were attached to an arduino and which in turn was controlled by a steering wheel, and a TV screen showing [...]

I dislike most artists, they are all crazy people, but the people who came up with this idea are geniuses. Too bad there’s not much other information about it I can find.  As far as I can tell it’s in Germany somewhere, and from the owners of the most annoying site in the world award [...]

Last night was the Manhattanhenge, the twice yearly event when the setting sun aligns perfectly with the cross streets of Manhattan.  It’s a unique event that is spectacular if you can catch it on the right block. We did alot of walking from 42nd, to 34th Sts, and 3rd Ave. to 8th Ave.  Ideally you [...]

That really is some insane piece of work.  I read the forum post, and looked at the pictures, and even then I can only sorta kinda understand all the stuff that went into making that thing.  I want to make one, but I don’t think that I have the technical knowledge to make it work [...]

No I did not go soft on you, this is perfectly acceptable “light warfare.” Having made a few light drawings myself, I can attest that this must have taken them a good long time to make.  But the advantage of digital cameras, and laptops means that they could probably have taken all the shots (total [...]

Look at the awesome new theme I made. This is part of the reason why posts have been slow the month of May.  I’ve been slowly and steadily working on this new and amazing theme. (And doing some actual work for some other people too)  But now that it’s out lets take it for a [...]

That is a full blown actual size Photo Mosaic.  I love Photo Mosaics  I make them all the time.  I’ve made famous people. My mosaics though, are small computer sized (although, I have printed a few out, and they are pretty nice). Google’s though is made of actual 4×6 photographs.  Much more awesomeer.  In total [...]

Or should I say staple city, or Ephemicropolis. Yes, those are staples.  Thousands of them.  Some full sized magazines, some individual staples.  Here’s a nice close up shot of the individual sky scrapers And below you can see the entire breath of the domain of Ephemicropolis. It looks like a 5×5 grid of tiles.  Except [...]

Not moon sized rockets, model rockets.  And I must say model rocket cars are much more fun to watch compared to moon sized rocket ones.  I must say it’s hilarious!  Of all the cars in the video that were launched, I think i counted 3 that actually drove.  There may have been more, it was [...]

Star Wars Uncut “The Escape” from Casey Pugh on Vimeo. 472 people worked separately together to make this clip from Star Wars.  It’s part of the Star Wars: Uncut project.  The above video is a trailer for the ultimate goal of the project; recreate the entirety of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.  It [...]
