Jackson Pollock

This is a cool flash website that simply lets you paint lots of different coloured paint splatters and lines by moving your mouse across the screen and clicking to change the colour. Simple and very effective.

Amazing stop-motion animation that uses the bed as a platform for lots of interesting animations, with the woman asleep playing them out.Really clever and creative!

Mini-Bot USB Sticks

Found these really cool little gadgets, USB memory sticks that are made into characters, particularly robots. This example is c3po from star wars but there are also a lot of original designs.
Very dandy little gadgets, shame about some of the prices though, eeek.

I particularly like this miniShroom design:

Floppy Disc CD-R's

Just found these over at technobob. Pretty neat idea, creating CD-R's that look like floppy discs. For people who can't quite let go! (like me)

'These CD-R discs may be square, but they’ll work in a standard CD or DVD drive despite their non-round shape. Of course, cutting corners on the discs means that they don’t store as much as a standard CD-R. These ones only hold 200MB, but that’s still over than 138 times more than an original 3.5″ floppy.'

Pop Goes The Weasel

One of my all time favourite stop-motion animations.


Inspired by the 50 greatest stop-motion animation lists over at: Smashingmagazine which I am currently working my way through. I didn't see this on the list so thought I' post the thing here at least.
