Eye Candy

Posted by Miss Cellania in Everything Else on October 17, 2009 at 12:16 pm

I wasn’t all that impressed with these swirling colors until I started playing with the sliding controls. You can change the size of the colored splotches, the amount of blur, the color change rate, and other dimensions until you find a very pleasing sequence of eye candy. Link -via Gorilla Mask

Personas

Posted by Miss Cellania in Blog & Internet on August 19, 2009 at 12:54 pm


Personas is an application that searches your name on the web and returns a profile of what it finds. Mine is pictured.

Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.

I was surprised to see I had more “sports” in my profile than anything else -must’ve been the Olympics. And it’s nice that my “legal” was bigger than my “illegal”! But the most interesting part was seeing all those things people said about me while it was processing. The one that stands out was “Your inquiry ‘Miss Cellania is an idiot’ did not return any results.” Ha! (Of course, now that I’ve written it out, there will be results for that query.) Try your own name and puzzle over the results. Link -via the Presurfer

Make a YouTube video into a multiframe presentation with YooouuuTuuube. Enter the video’s URL and set your specifications, than watch your creation. Here’s an example, using a song Neatorama readers may remember. Link -via Metafilter

Just what the internet needs: more bacon! You can add a strip of bacon to any website at Bacolicio.us. Just add a URL to the end of theirs, Neatorama for example, and make any page more delicious. Link -Thanks, Nestor!

The Benny Hillifier

With The Benny Hillifier, you can add the soundtrak of Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph to any YouTube video. Here’s an example I put together. The Benny Hillifier does not speed up the video, which is the other classic Benny Hill feature. Link -via Digg

Mustache Maker

Posted by Miss Cellania in Pictures on December 3, 2008 at 9:59 am


Ever wondered what you would look like with a mustache? An application from Schick lets you add one to a picture and see. I know what I look like with a mustache (not a pretty sight), so I snagged a picture of Alex and gave him a handlebar. See a rather creepy moving version here. You can try out lots of different styles on your own picture (registration required). Link -Thanks, StreetAttack!
