Leopard has arrived

So....

I just got back from the Apple store, where OSX Leopard was released tonight. Waited in line for an hour to get a free T-shirt. It's black with an X on it. Yes, I am a giant geek. sigh.

I pre-ordered a copy for the class to try out on one computer for now. Should be arriving soon...

Great example of how a simple idea can create an interesting animation. One million keyframes is a bit extreme, I think...

Improv Everywhere

This is a group that organizes what could be called social experiments, then videotapes the often hilarious results. The Slo Mo Home Depot is one of my favorites.

Google Image Labeler

This is kind of an addictive game-type activity Google has come up with to help create image tags for their search results. You are paired with an anonymous partner for 2 minutes. You both look at the same images, one at a time and try to come up with labels for each one. You get points if you and your partner's labels match. Interesting way for Google to get people to help create image tags...

Proving That Seeing Shouldn’t Always Be Believing

wall animation

This is a pretty amazing animation, also an example of what a change project could look like, if you painted a little each day. (It plays twice.)
