GIMP re-done in Cocoa for OSX

Seashore:

An open source image editor for Cocoa. It features gradients, textures and anti-aliasing for both text and brush strokes. It supports multiple layers and alpha channel editing. It is based around the GIMP’s technology and uses the same native file format.

Caveat:

Seashore is still undergoing development and may contain bugs so please make sure only to work on copies of important images…

Still, good value!

Virtual Blobby Things

An amazing Installation demo from MIT

Said blobby things then appear to exist within the dimensions of the room.

Not sure what the implications or application might be, but it sure is impressive!

Magic Number

While not normally worthy of a link, this article by John C. Dvorak on the number 30 Billion might be an exception:

… when we put all the numbers together, we can estimate that there are a minimum of 30 billion Windows system crashes a year.

Free Self Publishing

Lulu.com:

An on-demand publishing tool for books, e-books, music, images, movies and calendars.
(…)
There is no set-up fee and no minimum order to publish and sell on Lulu.

Not an entirely new idea, but one I think is bound to be replicated in various forms by many others, soon.
