Draw a MONA LISA in 80 milliseconds - with paintballs (NVISION).

August 29, 2008

MythBustersImage via Wikipedia

Adam and Jamie, hots of the known MythBusters show compared a CPU vs a GPU to explain parallel processing and the GPU drew an ACTUAL mona lisa drawing using paint balls in 80 milliseconds!!!!!!!

I’m a fan of both paintball and having a beefy GPU. This video was so right up my alley. Plus how wicked is it to see paintballs blast a Mona Lisa in 80 milleseconds? The GPU vs CPU display was done as part of NVision08. NVision08 was a kind of mega event described as “Featuring over 55 hours of jaw-dropping visual wonderment - from today’s hottest games and movies, video, science, mobile and computer technologies - you will get to experience, touch and feel the latest visual technologies that will change your life. And let you see into the future.”

Firefox Logo Spied In Deep Space

April 12, 2008

hubble-fox-1 Firefox Logo Spied In Deep Space

One of these is a photograph taken by the Hubble space telescope on December 17, 2002, featuring the variable star V838 Monocerotis. The other is the same photograph overlaid with a familiar logo. Can you tell which is which?

Below is another photo of the same star, from the Wikipedia entry on V838 Monocerotis. If the above photo has been photoshopped to look more like the Firefox logo, the editing seems minimal: it’s been rotated relative to the photo below, and some of the gas cloud may have been edited out around the “tail” of the fox.

An eagle-eyed viewr, spotted the original version of the Firefox-like nova photo on Wikipedia. It looks like the only modification was to rotate the image. It must be a sign from the stars!

Download Jessica Sierra scandal video

July 10, 2007

So on the web today are tons of searches for Jessica Sierra sex tape videos. Jessica Sierra, a former contestant on American Idol and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, apparently had a sex tape.

This whole sex tape for success thing is getting kinda old. Haven’t we learned anything from Paris?!?!? I suppose sex sells.

Ok so like I said I haven’t seen it but a quick search shows that its definitely out there. If that’s your thing then head over to BTJunkie (BTJunkie is a bittorrent aggregator site, it doesn’t host the files but points you to the places that do) and you can find it. If you don’t know what Bittorrent is head to Wikipedia’s bittorrent page. Don’t ask me for help, don’t ask me to send you the file… I haven’t seen it and I haven’t downloaded it.

Lewis Black Exposes Right Wing Media Paranoia

June 29, 2007

Lewis Black (proving again that he is one of the best comics alive) goes to town on the “liberal media” paranoia that pervades the right-wing and leads them to do things like counter the “biased” Wikipedia with Conservapedia — which has a quite unique definition of homosexuality. Remember, Wikipedia is written by US, so apparently the right wing things that we’re liberally biased. LOL!

Like the great philosopher Stephen Colbert once said: “Reality has a well-known liberal bias.”

So on the web today are tons of searches for Kim Kardashian sex tape videos. Socialite Kim Kardashian confirmed the existence of a sex tape of her made by then-boyfriend Ray J. She threatened to take legal action to block its planned distribution by Vivid Video.

This whole sex tape for success thing is getting kinda old. Haven’t we learned anything from Paris?!?!? I suppose sex sells.
