Awesome optical illusion
http://www.break.com/breakswf/v5/mp_...ntentID=127445

Stare at the center of the screen for about 15sec and then look away.

Note: If you're epileptic then you probably don't wanna do this.

I played that exact video for my class this week on the big projector for my Sensation and Perception lecture. That's by far the coolest optical illusion I've ever seen.

Wiki entry on what produces the illusion here. The wiki entry has a link to the same stimulus, without the crappy techno soundtrack.

Interesting new PC desktop idea:

Looks nice, but I it doesn't seem very practical for searching for files.

I recommend checking out the two publications here for a bit more insight into what they are trying to accomplish with the program.

Keepin' it Real: Pushing the Desktop Metaphor with Physics, Piles and the Pen Proceedings of CHI 2006 - the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. p. 1283-1292. (10 pages)

Enriching the Desktop Metaphor with Physics, Piles and the Pen University of Toronto, Masters Thesis. (102 pages)

I don't think you would want to organize your entire computer like this but if you were working on a research paper or thesis where you are dealing with a large amount of electronic sources (academic journals not wikipedia pages) I think BumpTop would certainly help. I would've loved to have had this last December working on my senior thesis.

That's fantastic.

I wouldn't want to have to have my entire HDD organized in that manner, but that has got to be the most efficient computing desktop ever.

My brain just died

Man, I had a lot of fun watching this. A Star Trek, Star Wars match up.

They did good, but there were some issues.

One.
Star Destroyer was switched with a Super Star Destroyer.

Regardless, it was good and fun.

I believe the ending was fair. The Enterprise's senors would have dedected that type of surge.

Enjoy.
This means you Bleak.

I tapped out half way through it.

How do I feel about that?

I feel good, yeah I do.

And now to cleanse the pallet.:
