It’s Friday everybody!
And where I live, it’s a long weekend. Yay!
And now it’s also Links time!
A visualization of all of the known / identified / unclassified objects in low-earth-orbit (LEO)
It is fascinating watching them all zoom by your city up close.
A site documenting the extremely wide array of different flavours of Lays potato chips in different countries around the world.
Thailand: yes!
A web… presentation… art… thing, from Max Cooper.
Rendered in your browser completely using html, css, and javascript.
It must have taken a while to create this.
It may not look like much from the screenshot but this thing is extremely dynamic. Really interesting work. (Also I love Max Cooper’s musical works.)
1996 “me” would be having a heart attack at the notion of programming this…
Some pretty specific mouse+keyboard controls to put spin / english on the ball, but it’s a fairly decent simulation.
Note that the cue is like a sort of slingshot. Pull and then release.
We did it! Links! On a Friday! Whuhoooo!
Have an excellent (long?) weekend everybody.
See you next Friday.
