Hey, a Salad!
This is the archive of tumbledry happenings that occurred on 31 January, 2007.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Check out some of the impressive videos they have from the duo’s late show performances.
T-Shirt with Undo Joke - Yes, the command for undoing your last action on a computer is either ctrl-z, or in this case, apple(command)-z. I’ll take one in a medium, please. From Insanely Great Tees.
An infomercial jam session - “Now, let’s learn how to play, a rockanrollrhythm …” This Creative representative really knows how to sell a product. Check it out … the fastest rock drum tutorial ever.
Inventing the smiley face - Way back in 1982.
Tiny planets from photographs - “All these pictures are 360° panoramas projected to look like small planets.”
The effect is quite impressive. Furthermore, the author provides some great resources, with tools by the names of autopano-sift, hugin, enblend, mathmap, and PTBlender. So, the post processing looks technically demanding, but the final result looks stunningly simplistic.

The greatest cars in the world - Top Gear’s host loves the Ferrari F360 Modena, but ultimately votes for the McLaren F1 … wonder if he’d still agree today what with the Ferrari Enzo. I think you can judge a person’s passion for what they do by their ability to interest those with only casual interest in the topic. That said, this guy excels at describing the wonder of cars and sucking you into his wonderment (is that a word?).
The Nintendo Wii … on a 1.5” TV - Ok, and get this - this guy managed to connect a Wii to a DOLLHOUSE TV. You know, those tiny, working televisions that are included in some dollhouses? Crazy.
Ridiculously talented model/fashion photographer - Most pictures on flickr try to emulate a certain style, and almost always you’ll see parts of them that simply look strange. They are, after all, snapshots. These pictures, though … the lighting is absolute perfection.
