Need to kill time?

3D Logic

A fun little logic game well worth checking out if you want to kill abit of time at work or home.

Blogged with Flock

Impressive

Well here's a fancy trick that looks rather cool. An unusual photography trick produces images that look like they were take of toys.

Playing about

Well I'm currently playing about with a number of beta applications some of which are kind of cool.

Google Earth 4beta (now for Linux and Mac OS) is the usual though the interface has been updated. The cool thing is they've finally added high resolution satellite photos for Christchurch and some other regions of New Zealand so it's now possible to make out your house :).

Picasa 3beta now has a free google run web album added, with 250MB of free storage online for your photos, unlike flickr it appears to be based more around a personal/friend/family photo album rather than flickrs universal any one can browse your photos. As for the Picasa version you need to provide people with a link to the image for them to be able to find them easily. The biggest problem perhaps with it compared to the others is that it's linked into via the Picasa software and there appears to other way to upload images to it yet. The nice thing is unlike free flickr the largest supported image size is 1600x rather than flickrs 1024x. http://picasaweb.google.com/eonsim will show the images I've currently got up in the public section.

Flock beta1 is the other app I'm currently playing with, very much a web browser that's been focused on the whole "Web 2.0" thingy with built in Blog, photo sharing, RSS, and bookmark sharing (del.icio.us) utilities. Still kind of nice, though with noticeably more problems than either of the other two apps. It's based off firefox so nothing special there.

Rubik's Cube Sickness

For those of you who like Rubik's cubes here is a new challenge.
4D analog of a Rubik cube it's a free small download so grab it and have fun!

There is also a 5D analog of the cube if you want to try something even sicker.
