“Our pal Mareen does this neat thing she calls panography. Taking dozens of photos of a scene, she assembles a patchwork of images that more accurately represents what your eyes see when you’re not looking through a viewfinder.
Call it super wide-angle panorama or call it panography, we think it’s awesome. Read on to learn how you can make one yourself!”

Space Invaders
This is a video/performance based on the mythical the video game Space Invaders, played on human scale. On June 24, 2006, 67 people sat in the seats of Espace Nuithonie for almost 4 hours, simulating the pixels of the game. For each of the 390 frames, these human pixels moved, or not, between seats. All the images of the performance were assembled to make a 3 minute video. The result: a group of people appearing as the vessel defending the Earth firing individuals on the extraterrestrial armada consisting of various groups of people, which, in return, release human beings on the vessel.

Firefox, proxy (proxies), 404 = slow as hell
This is probably the single most annoying bug in Firefox for me, as I have butterfingers when it comes to typing in URLs. Glad to see it’s been reported and hopefully it’ll be fixed in the fothcoming Firefox 2.
“Firefox is setup to use a Squid proxy server. I attempt to visit a non-existant domain that will bring up a DNS error on the proxy server. The moment between me submiting the address and the proxy server returning the error, Firefox locks up the system. […] It is not until the proxy server returns the error that I am able to continue working normaly.”

“This project is inspired by drunken chats during summer music festivals. A personal light-show to wear after dark. Overall more than 6 months from start to finish. No comment on whether this was time well spent. […] My machine is industrial rather than pretty.”

Folder Size for Windows Explorer
“Folder Size for Windows adds a new column to the Details view in Windows Explorer. The new column shows not only the size of files, but also the size of folders. It keeps track of which folders you view, and scans them in the background so you can see complete size of all files within the folder.”

“I thought this was hilarious. A Microsoft Tech calls a customer back and leaves a phone message attempting to address the problems the user was having with their computer.”
