Flickr member brevity made a little app that takes photos and creates an “average” image out of them. He chooses 50 photos tagged with, say “shadow” …

Oh well … if you got to much bandwidth and time on your hands, watch these: Gimped and Rootdown. The files are 300 + 400 MB. The first movie is about 22 minutes long. Haven’t even unpacked the second yet.

So you want to be a Druid now? I am already one :-) Have fun.

Via lifehacker comes the Speed Typing Test

If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.

On my first try I got 100 words/minute with one typo and on the second I got 92 words/minute with two typos.

Wasn’t that what you always wanted? Boing Boing: Laptop-controlled projector based D&D table
