distort the mona lisa's face

go to www.goto80.com/link

THEN go to a link near the bottom that says "wicked flash
site"

THEN wait until stuff loads

THEN click the link that says, um "type" or "keys" or
something like that I forget

THEN pick, um, I think it was number 2 ... or 3

Eventually somewhere around there I came across a cool
picture of mona lisa where her face was in a 3x3 grid. when
you click on one of the squares in this grid it distorts by
expanding thus shrinking the other squares, so you can make
weird faces. Oh... yeah. Now that is what I call fun.

i'm not 100% sure what you're talking about, cause i'm on a
modem and don't feel like going to that site and waiting...
but, it sounds a lot like some of the experiments that used
to be on yugop.com. which, used to be an awesome site,
haven't been there in a while though.

They should use this type of stuff in videogames! Look how
simple and mathematically precise this is, yet look at the
extremely wide range of facial expressions possible. You
could have some big bad boss in a real deserving contra
sequel or something where the face is composed of such a
grid and randomly chosen squares are constantly "clicked" to
make it really seem alive (and bizarre).

you should check out some of the other experiments on yugop
then.

and also, bit-101.com [go to the laboratory and
check out different day's experiments]

Well maybe you havn't heard of these?

Play a game of 20 questions with artificial intelligence:

For me it guessed "building" and "penis" but then was
stumped by "abacus"

google random picture generator:

http://www.as.ua.edu/~virgil/

makes random pictures every time! hah.

naturally you had to be the one to post it too... where do
you tend to hear about the existence of stuff like this by
the way?

i whore myself out on a ton of other messageboards. mostly
web design boards.

twelvestone (waiting for godot)
yayhooray (general, or random distractions)
were-here (just conversation)
... among others

there's a wealth of interesting shit that passes through
those sites.

Hmm... I'll try those. I got the same links on
memestreams.net. The internet is a giant labratory for the
study of memetics. Actually richard dawkins really did use
the goodle search engine as a crude way of estimating the
"most imitated" competing memes (for example the newly
coined "meme" versus some other word that didn't succeed as
well)

oh yeah, and k10k is also pretty cool if you're in
to this sort of artsy/geek/design type thing.

The best way though is to find weird stuff yourself by using
carefully chosen google searches. For example the word
"paradigm" or phrase "paradigm shift" seem to be pretty new
words that have not been derivitively replicated by the
masses really and tend to produce great links. Or "insane
genius" or... anything weird "obscure masterpiece" or
something.. or go to sites you already like and find unique
phrases there that might tend to be used in similar sites.
This is obvious probably.
