Killer … snails!

Giant African land snail

Slashdot reports the next invasion of species.  It’s in Florida for now, and these aren’t too fast or extremely vicious creates, but still … I do understand how uncomfortable and damaging this might be to people who are affected, but never-the-less one has to admit that it’s pretty funny.  If you do have enough of sense of humor to laugh about it, go read some Slashdot comments to the story.  I was literally laughing out loud.  If you prefer your humor in a video source, here is one.

Weird Faces Study

Computer generated images have a certain aesthetics to them that make them immediately recognizable as such by the trained eye. Weird Faces Study is an attempt to combine my old interest in illustration with programing, to create something procedural that has a truly individual artistic touch to it and is not instantly recognizable as a generative art piece. Even though, the faces look hand-drawn, they are entirely expressed by algorithmic rules. Each face is random, each face is unique. Still, they look similar to my actual hand drawn faces.

Interesting and cool, especially for things like user profiles with missing avatars.
