3D printed Zoetropes
Akinori Goto came up with this novel technique for 3D printing Zoetropes and displaying them by using a beam of focused light. Very cool.
Empathy vs Sympathy
There is a huge difference between empathy and sympathy – and it makes all the difference in the world when relating with others.
‘Audibilization’ of sorting algorithms
Visualization and “audibilization” of 15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes.
Sorts random shuffles of integers, with both speed and the number of items adapted to each algorithm’s complexity.
The algorithms are: selection sort, insertion sort, quick sort, merge sort, heap sort, radix sort (LSD), radix sort (MSD), std::sort (intro sort), std::stable_sort (adaptive merge sort), shell sort, bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, gnome sort, bitonic sort and bogo sort (30 seconds of it).
Google more information via the “Sound of Sorting”.

Wintergatan – the musical marvelous marble machine
Created by Swedish musician Martin Molin, the Wintergatan is an amazing, complicated musical instrument. It uses over 2000 marbles to produce notes and rhythms that are guided by human input.
Amazing – a fantastic work of imagination and creativity.
Loving Vincent – amazing trailer
Here is a trailer from the upcoming film “Loving Vincent” by Breakthru Films (Obtained from the official website: http://join.lovingvincent.com/)
This animation was composed of 12 oil paintings per second, all done by over 100 painters trained in the same style as Vincent VanGogh. I’m really looking forward to it!
Devil Daggers
Holy night terrors!
Devil Daggers is a timed survival game that is “fast-paced shooter that places you in an abyssal arena to face endless legions of demons. Armed with versatile magic daggers and a fluid movement system, fight to survive as long as you can.” That does little to describe the fear-inducing visuals and sounds that seem to be captured from hell itself. The creatures you fight are right out of a HP Lovecraft tale and shrouded in enough darkness to really freak you out.
Some of the longest known runs of the game (like the one below) are just over 8 minutes long. Terrifying – or as some of the comments say – “NopeNopeNopeNopeNope”
Skylight – or why waiting 5 minutes gives you a completely different shot during magic hours
A mind blowing collection of unique moments was captured from mountaintops to rooftops to coastline, at locations including: Los Angeles • Chicago • NYC • Tokyo • Singapore • Sydney • New Zealand • Big Sur • Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest • CARMA • Eastern Sierra • Death Valley • Yosemite • Vermillion Cliffs • Mojave Desert
More info about the film and some of the shots is available on Chris Pritchard’s blog.
