Time Tales

"time tales is a collection of found photographs. found at fleamarkets, thriftshops, some are scooped up from streets and alleyways, fallen from an overstuffed bag or torn pocket. others turn up in a cabinet’s hidden compartment, found while wandering the rooms of an abandoned house. now the photos exist by themselves, lost in time. time tales does not want to reveal their mysteries. time tales asks to be the new home for lost photos, a resting place, for the nameless and the lost."

Falling Sand Game

"The game involves four different particles falling from the top of the screen, which all look and move similar to sand. The particles resemble sand, water, salt, and oil in color. Along with these four, additional elements can be placed on the screen with the mouse, some that are solid and stationary instead of flowing. By mixing the different elements together, many colorful designs, complex structures, and systems can be created."

Cleversafe - Dispersed Storage

"Cleversafe uses Cauchy Reed-Solomon Information Dispersal Algorithms (IDAs) to separate data into unrecognizable Data Slices and distribute them, via secure Internet connections, to multiple storage locations on a Dispersed Storage Network (dsNet).

With Dispersed Storage, transmission and storage of data is inherently private and secure. No single entire copy of the data is in one location, and only some of the slices need to be available in order to perfectly retrieve the data.

Data on the dsNet remains private and secure in the face of natural catastrophes, or failures of hardware, connection, facility or IT management. Moreover, the individual data slices do not carry enough information for an unauthorized viewer to determine the original content."

What Goes On - The Beatles Anomalies List

"Why so many anomalies?

Something that has never been adequately explained, is the big "Why?"

Comparing the work of The Beatles to modern music is unfair: The Beatles were innovating, experimenting, and working beyond the limits of the equipment. Equipment that at the time was the best available, but now looks very dated and clumsy. Modern recording technology allows the tiniest anomalous sound to be erased flawlessly, and performances to be reconstructed by engineers and producers after-the-fact. So modern music doesn’t suffer from these anomalies. It’s too carefully polished."

iJot: Take Note!

"Wikis and weblogs make publishing on the Web a snap these days. Or do they ? Weblogs are somewhat constrained by their native chronological journal form, and most wikis could be a lot easier to set-up and update.

What if your content is more complex and structured than a few blog entries ?
What if you want to provide richer presentation and a more advanced reading interface ?

Enter iJot:
write your notes directly into your web browser
organize them using the built-in outliner
save & publish them, all at once.
That's it - you've published a web site, complete with weblog and updates feeds."
