Magnetosphere: Fireflies

Another Magnetosphere visualization of Fireflies by Owl City. But this time, it’s in HD! Unfortunately, it’s in 16:10.

I always produce videos that are 1280 x 720, which qualifies as 720p HD. But, you may be asking, why aren’t any other videos on my YouTube channel HD? Because of QuickTime. That’s right. Apparently Apple converts all your videos to the iFrame format before uploading it to YouTube, which makes all my videos 960 x 540, or HQ. So this time, I decided to try out the YouTube web uploader. And it works! Glorious HD. In my hurry, though, I didn’t convert my video to 1280 x 720. Instead, it’s still stuck at 16:10. Oh well. Expect future videos to be 16:9 HD.

Magnetosphere: Tidal Wave

You may have noticed that I am addicted to Owl City. It just so happens that I have the Magnetosphere plugin for iTunes. And here’s what I made.

A new easy to defeat Pong bot

If you thought that Electrocuter and Stealth were too hard to defeat, try out my latest bot: Anakin. Because it features “live” prediction, where it predicts based on your current paddle location, all you have to do is fool the prediction.

So go and get it now!

A status update on Pong

I’ve been hard at work developing a new Pong bot: this one’s called Stealth. You can find it on the new Pong page, which now lets you choose which bot you want to download!

So what does Stealth do? As its name suggests, it is stealthy. It may seem easy to defeat, but at the last moment, it will change its behavior and cause you to lose. Give it a try, and tell me what you think!

Today was the official launch of Windows 7, Microsoft’s long awaited “Vista fix up OS.” While I’m still waiting to get a student discount on the super expensive operating system, Apple has come out with 3 new ads that attack Windows 7.
