Cut Your Own Psycho Shower Scene

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:26 am

A site that allows you to cut your own version of the infamous shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho – just in case you didn’t think the original was quite good enough.

iPod Case Made From a Hardcover Book

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:25 am

A nice way to hide your ipod from unwanted eyes.

Now all we need is bluetooth EARBUD headphones. I’ve see some bluetooth headphones, but they’re to big to hide. Once they got bluetooth earbuds (if ever), school will be and audio-tastic environment for guys with big puffy hair.

Color Code - a full-color portrait of the English language.

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:25 am

The artwork is an interactive map of more than 33,000 words. Each word has been assigned a color based on the average color of images found by a search engine. The words are then grouped by meaning. The resulting patterns form an atlas of our lexicon.

Amazing sort demo! (at least if you have some amount of clue it is anyway)

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:25 am

This is a really slick little visual on sort algorithms. Really gives you a deeper appreciation of how different they are. These applets just show unsorted lengths of bars being sorted via different algorithms.

This demo has been around since Java 1.1! This version obviously has a few extra sort techniques added, but it still is pretty old itself. This reminds me of the old GWBASIC sort demos. On that demo, JSort and HeapSort are faster than QSort. JSort seems to finish first the most often. Quick Sort is of course depends on memory, datasize, etc… all I was saying was that on average, Quick Sort performs as good or better than almost all sorting algorithims. :) Still quite a cool demo though.

Almost always you will want to use an in-place algorithm, and in-place Mergesort is generally slow, about O(n^2). But if you aren’t doing in-place sorting (like you want to combine a memcpy with a sort routine into one). Then Mergesort is more like O(n log n). Generally Quicksort is the best for in-place, with perhaps the Quicksort+Bubblesort hybrid. More info here.

More sorting demos in with a different presentation style can be found here too:
Stooge sort, Bozo sort

Bloody Fingermail

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:24 am

This is awesome! Write your dripping, bloody message on the wall and send it via email… or just sit back and enjoy your own phantasmagoric scrawls!

Oh man….Now I want to go out, chop someones finger off write letters with their blood, then uses this website as my defense at the trial….

Apple Commercials

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:24 am

This site has every Apple commercial that I’ve ever seen, and a lot more. As well, it seems to have some unreleased Apple promos. Lots to download :)

Another site that have these antiques is differentdistrict.com but has some ad tracking cookies (fastclick.net)

Run - a 60 second video of Honda’s humanoid robot ASIMO racing a man.

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:14 am

It is pretty cool though, and the movement seems pretty fluid. The way the robots legs were bent and able to jog/run, wow. I am glad that they finally got the running motion down. Give him a gun and infradred and now we are talking terminator. I like the ASIMO robot run. I hope this other robot can run soon because it looks much more intimidating.

If the 60 second version is too long for you, watch the 30 second cut! Yeah the video is pretty creepy, I was surprised the man had a reaction other than “oh look at the wonderful happy robot” for a commercial that’s supposed to show us how great Honda is. It wasn’t quite a full stride run, but it was enough to be a challenge. I think the last part is pretty funny were a kid about the same height is trying to take it’s picture, but ASIMO keeps backing up on him.

It would have been better if ASIMO had bitch slapped the kid with the camera. Should have drop kicked that kid in the face for taking pictures like a moron. I think the robot should have pulled a three stooges, poked the kid in the eye, and ran off. In any case, that robot should learn to punch kids with cameras.

BTW I’ve found a way to get the clip:

  1. Use IE to load the website and find run60sec.flv from the Temporary Internet files folder later.
  2. Go and get flv_player to download the FLV player. Install it to your system and off you go.

I’m using firefox but this time I want to thank IE. Anyone has any idea how to get it off firefox instead?

DIY Flash training videos… for free

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:14 am

Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc) for both Windows and Linux. Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective flash tutorial for your users. And it’s Free.

I’ve heard of other products but they all cost money…too much money. and having it cross-platform is the cherry on top!

NASA computer simulation of air traffic over US

Filed under: Eye Catching around 5:04 am

This is really amazing. This QuickTime movie shows 24 hours of air travel in the continental United States. Now I know why there are delays.

Here is some links straight to the movie or this one.
