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).

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?

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.
