“Bouletcorp” Will Explain Quantum Pixels To You [Comic]

Are you familiar with the quantum theory of the pixel?  No?  Neither was I.  Then along comes this fascinating French comic, Bouletcorp, that had me gaping wide-eyed at the computer, saying things like “Whoa” and “Hmm”.  I love it when things are explained to me with pictures.  Pixels don’t move…their information moves…*head explodes*.

I usually do the cheap thing: my walls are adorned with plastic-wrapped issues of actual comics.  So there’s a bunch of “Invisibles” and “Preacher” stuff everywhere.  But how cool would it be to have actually art up?  I usually have to wait for Comicon to get the hook-up like this.

Google “Let it Snow” Trick

Go to Google.  Type in “let it snow”.  Sit back and smile smugly, amused once again at the search giant’s unending cleverness.  This trick looks really cool, too.  I like the way it fogs up around the edges, until your entire screen is white.  It’s subtle and slow and it actually makes me want to make a cup of cocoa.  But then again, most things make me want to make a cup of cocoa.
