Serious Interestingness

February 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Barcinski & Jeanjean are an interactive design duo based in Amsterdam. Their main site/portfolio has one of the coolest user interfaces I’ve ever seen. (I really gotta get me some 3-D glasses)

They created a very cool visualization of photos on flickr having high “interestingness“.
It’s interesting, so don’t even look if you are facing any deadlines.
(note: both of these take some time to load, but it’s worth the wait.)

Adobe Flash ads launching clipboard hijack attack

August 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

ZDnet’s Zero Day blog, on booby-trapped Flash banner ads that hijack system clipboards. (Windows, Mac, Linux) The proof-of-concept link in the post demonstrates this nicely, and the POC author has an interesting post showing unintended consequences for NoScript users, and how plaintext mail can be evil, too.

Alan Watts meets South Park

August 5, 2007 · 2 Comments

Very Cool! Trey Parker and Matt Stone produced a few short animations for some classic Alan Watts lectures.

I was turned on to Alan Watts back in college, by one of my favorite professors, Peng-Khaun Chong. I remeber that one of the texts for one of his courses was Tao: The Watercourse Way

Highly recommended- This was the book Watts was working on when he died, I believe. co-authored/edited by his friend Al Chung-liang Huang, who did the amazing calligraphy for the book.
