thought of the day: thanks to unsunghero for donating these interesting pieces of information. there's currently 295 million people living in the united states. cingular boasts 50 million subscribers. tmobile boasts 16.3 million subscribers. sprint (merged w/ nextel) boasts 35.4 million subscribers. verizon boasts 43.8 million subscribers. that adds up to be 145.5 million subscripbers, almost half the american population. even assuming anyone that has a cellphone, owns 2 lines (one for business and one for personal), that's still 1 out of every 4 americans owning a cellphone. can you believe that?

decathanerd finally has a xanga: With Me. pretty interesting stuff! it's like food for the mind. go check it out!

so my cs184 partner and i have been wrecking our brains out these past few days trying to figure why our spheres look squished when it left the origin.

however, prof. o'brien just posted that our eye was too close to our viewing plane and in fact if you close 1 eye, take the open eye and put it about 1" in front of the center of the image, the squished spheres will actually look like circles. but as prof. o'brien says: If you do that, the image looks right... but also your mom might yell at you for sitting too close to the screen. so i've moved the eye farther away from the viewing plane and got this, nice round circles!

thanks to chewydenise for donating this video: on avance toujours... et vous?. french for "one always advances... and you?" pretty kewl flips and jumps. reminds of that video back in freshman year with that guy who could do amazing flips. his name was joe eigo. you can find his videos at Multi Level Moves. the video got me hooked on his stunts was oeEigo-Sept-02.mpg (given to me by crabyaple iirc). Joe Eigo's 2nd demotape for Jackie Chan filmed on Friday The 13th Sept 2002. It was first filmed at Ryerson University and at the Newmarket Gym.

thanks to chewydenise for donating this link: Sidewalk Drawings. another great set of 3d street art. wish they'd show what the other perspectives would be like besides the one that's suppose to look right.

got this link from /. : 1E Disco Dance Floor. basically a usb disco dance floor. check out the photos and videos. someone on /. said it'd be dope if they could play tetris on it! i think so too!

got this article from /. : Purdue's Rube Goldberg three-peat takes national spotlight. i was talking to some friends earlier and was trying to remember the guys name that farr mentioned that created all these crazy contraptions, like when the alarm clock rings, it'll pull a string which will drop a ball that'll crack an egg into the pot. the ball would keep on falling and turn on the stove. the egg would fry and a kettle of water would boil. when the kettle starts whistling, the pressure coming out would turn a mini steam turbine that'll open the blinds. basically, if you ever did science olympiad, this was like mission possible. there's many names to call it, but the most common name is a Rube Goldberg Machine. anyway, do check out the videos: short and long.

got this flash video from
