We did this with my wife's books, but we didn't make animation while doing it.
Of course, she was moving in with me, so we had other stuff to do besides spend half a day making a movie.

Ridiculous optical illusion
I just saw an optical illusion that was hard to believe was an illusion. The "blue" and "green" in the spiral below are actually the same color. REALLY.
What's even more amazing about this illusion is that it fools software too. The color blindness software I posted about yesterday translates this illusion into the colors we perceive, not the colors that are actually there. In fact, so does image compression software. This "bug" might reveal something interesting about how human sight actually works.
Double Wow.

smartphone app for colorblindness
Dan Kaminsky has created an amazing app that can translate colors into things the colorblind can see!
The Dan Kam "quantizes color", collapsing complicated color spectra into 7 isolated colors. Like lasers for real life. It makes red and green single colors instead of broad ranges. And the two particular colors it uses are different in enough ways that someone who's red-green colorblind can tell them apart!

Las Palmas
Some Swedish guy shot a short film of a baby gorging herself in a restaurant. It's hilarious!

Awesome lighting design
This is crazy awesome. Not very practical for decorating or even theatrical design, but still a fantastic use of light.

Google catches Microsoft copying them
Google thought Microsoft's new search engine was copying their results.
So they set up some gibberish search terms and did some searches, and noticed that Microsoft's results updated to replicate what Google did.
Nailed!

Balloons in Space!
Two blokes at the University of Sheffield sent a videocamera into space for less than $1000.
So cool. Very cool, in fact - they had to make a styrofoam box to keep the camera warm enough to continue operating.
