I have no idea what the story is with this clip, just watch it.
Check out this video that shows the planets, our sun, and some stars in scale relationship to each other. Pretty cool.
Useful tips for the UNIX command line. Bash is the default shell for OS X.
If you are into this sort of thing, this is kinda cool. Page lets you visually compare various sort algorithms to each other. Hours of fun comparing the stooge sort to the cocktail sort.
Sort of creepy on-line robotic friend. Clever use of existing technologys - Sitepal for the robot face and the artificial intelligence engine from Pandorabots. Not much of a conversationalist, but a keen observer.

The player in this video is one BAMF in my book. Even with the tool assist.
Give the Spanish Castle Illusion a try yourself. Pretty cool.
The only thing I recall being similiar to this is an American Flag Illusion in a textbook when I was a kid.
Over the last few weeks, I worked out a design in my head and acquired the necessary parts to build it. After a bit of sawing, dremel tool work, and spray painting, I built a rig that holds the camera securely. The first few photos with this setup have been very flat and washed out. Even though I painted the inside of the pipes black, there still must be light bouncing around inside. I wound up using the old box as a lens shade, which improved things a bit.
This lens has a radius of about 3 inches, and has a minimal amount of depth of field.
