[21:29] The term "Excel art" makes me think that cells are used as pixels, but you can create beautiful vector graphics with it, too. (see also)
[03:34] Jon Foreman makes beautiful, ephemeral sculptures from stones and leaves.
[23:38] Just finished watching "missing" on Netflix. Interesting concept: The entire movie takes place on the screens of various computers, phones et cetera. New to me, but apparently this is a thing: it's called screenlife.
Also not a bad movie.
[21:59] The Windows Waltz. Beautiful. :D
[01:25] With printers generally considered spawns of the devil, this truck is right on track to succeed Christine. (see also)
[15:07] Following the internet via birds we now have birds via the internet. (see also)
[00:32] Oh, very nice! A DIY rocket "treehouse" with quite extensive documentation on the project. (via)
[22:08] A mechanical implementation of Conway's Game of Life, built using Lego. Also recommend a look at the other videos on this channel. (see also, see also)
[00:43] This website has a collection of websites with dumb password rules. (see also)
[00:23] Since websites began using "AI" to write articles I guess it will only be a matter of time until someone comes up with a trust seal that promises zero AI participation. Which, of course, will be as untrustworthy as all these other seals.
[22:43] Oh, very cool: this 404 page contains a text adventure. Was fun to play. (I'm a little torn between "a status page should be obvious" and "let's make our websites more fun", but I really like the idea.)
[19:25] With the whole world interconnected visiting servers and websites all over the planet has become commonplace. But getting an email from someone on the other side of the big pond still feels special.
[21:55] Linger collects the SSIDs of wifi networks passing devices try to connect to and re-broadcasts them, keeping an impression of previous visitors. Nice.
[23:23] Occlusion Grotesque is a font based on letters carved in a tree, altered by the growth of that tree. (via)
[22:40] What would DNA sound if synthesized to an audio file?
[00:41] I was looking forward to Return to Monkey Island, but this game did not live up to my expectations. Seemed unpolished in parts, the last part was pretty annoying and the ending was lousy.
By the way, this was only the second time in my life that I bought and played a game on release day, but in both cases the game in question was disappointing. Next time I get this urge I should remember this.
[22:07] Awww, cute. Cat as a service.
[21:58] The Computer Game Museum in Berlin has a PainStation. I played Pong on this device a few years ago. As it turns out, it runs Windows XP. I guess having it slap my fingers multiple times that day is XP getting back at me for constantly cursing it back when I used it. :D
[22:16] Virtual Machine to Mondrian by ZLDKM generates artwork in the style of Piet Mondrian based on incoming network traffic.
