Mal wieder ein bisschen Pixelkram: Neben Donkey Kong gibts im Flickr von Daniel Hale noch vier weitere mehr oder weniger gelungene 8-Bit-Montagen (1/2/3/4). Und das Rad erfinden wir dann ein anderes Mal neu, okay?

In video art, one technique is datamoshing – mixing two videos so intermediate frames are interpolated from two separate sources, while another technique is exploiting the way different video codecs process motion and color information.

When you're tagging now, it's probably just pictures of your escapades - or your kids - on Facebook, but it wasn't always that way. Once upon a time, your weapon of choice was a spray can and not an iPhone. Growing up doesn't have to mean ditching your past if you have a Kaligraffiti pen. The blue and orange splatter design case holds an easy flow pen refill that deploys using spray nozzle click top. The signature on your TPS reports will never be the same.(via The Awesomer)
