I love creative original works. Have you seen "Animation vs Animator"? If not, watch it here (I just fixed the link after bahram's comment).
Move your mouse on "Flash Document" and click on PLAY.

Gandhi

I just finished watching the movie "Gandhi". What an amazing movie! It got 8 Oscars in 1983 including the best picture and best actor for Ben Kingsley. This movie really touched me, especially in this time of so-called "clash of civilizations"-theory-wanna-prove-ism. The last scene of the movie was a quote from Gandhi:

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it ... ALWAYS.


Dedicated to all warmonger neocons in the US and their counterpart old cons in the middle east.

Find me an F

This is quite interesting: Count every " F" in the following text...


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...


Now how many F's did you find?
To make it less visible, I've put the answer in the "minutes" part of the published time of this blog entry. YES! You were wrong! Go back and count again...

Curb is back!

Curb Your Enthusiasm in my opinion is one of the best comedies ever produced. I just heard in tonight's HBO buzz that the new season (season 6) is coming! Just wanted to share the good news with other fans.

5ives

They say things happen in threes, but on 5ives.com, you'll find some of the oddest lists in fives. From "Five Kitchen Tools that Sound Kind of Dirty" to "Five People Who Are Much More Enjoyable if You Imagine Them as Pro Wrestlers," it's time to get your fives fix on.

Visual Presentation of This Site

See a beautiful visual presentation of DidiGoftam site in a nifty little applet. The image is being created by different colored dots representing the Web site's various tags and links. A very clever idea!

TED continued!

It's so amazing!! No, I'm not just talking about this 11-year old playing violin. What is amazing is that in the original post, I introduced the TED site and told everyone to take a look at Jeff Han's presentation. Then I published the post and took a look at the site. To my surprise, Farhad had written a post on the exact same subject this morning!

Power of Ideas

Jeff Han is a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates—for the first time publicly—his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure.
