My Notebook: Cool Things

Ellen’s iPhone Advertisement

I do love this video – and can’t believe that Ellen was made to apologise to Apple for it.

Apple need to quickly develop a corporate sense of humour as things like this, and the response to their recently lost iPhone, can only show them in a bad light.

Incy Wincy Spider

An experimental project to make a natural spider in Flash, combining math and graphics. Very impressive.

Crayon Physics

My ”star find” of this year has to be this game by experimental programmer, Petri Purho.  Created as part of his “done-in-under-a-week” experiment, the five level Crayon Physics is his tenth game and a prototype for the forth-coming Crayon Physics Deluxe (see video below).

A New Beast…

HP Pavilion Elite PCAfter promising myself a new PC for a long, long time, I finally bit the bullet today and opted for a new HP Pavilion Elite PC. So far, so good. I’ll have a play around with it before I use it to get down to the nitty gritty of work. With an Intel Core 2 Quad processor and 3 GB of RAM, its a major step up from my last PC (an AOpen-based XC Cube I built myself) and should handle the newer, more process intensive, applications with ease. Fingers crossed.
