\nTake Stanford\u2019s iPhone Programming Class For Free<\/a> – I would love to take this class. The internet-connected iPhone’s multi-touch interface and powerful multimedia features provide an amazing playground for programmers, if you can stomach Apple’s strong-armed policies on application distribution in the App Store. (BTW here is a site that tracks activity of iPhone apps in the App Store, and posts information about apps that aren’t yet available in the App Store: apptism.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

bitalizer – bending bits into structure<\/a> – Upload a file, and this site will turn its binary contents into a simple set of rules governing an interesting image rendering process.<\/p>\n

Bitalizer v1.1 – shell32.dll<\/a> from Brian Reavis<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A visualization of the bits that make up the common “shell32.dll” library file found on Windows machines.<\/i>

The Pomegranate Phone<\/a> – A really well-done marketing campaign for a new touch-screen GPS-enabled smartphone that also makes coffee, projects video, instantly translates your voice into other languages, has a built-in shaver, and works as a harmonica. And doesn’t really exist. Instead, it is an elaborate ad campaign<\/a> created by the Nova Scotia government to generate interest for the Canadian province. The little videos included in the ad are a good touch.<\/p>\n

Child’s Play Charity – Donate games to sick children<\/a> – For my birthday, Chris and Angel donated video games in my name to a Roanoke hospital using this site. Terrific idea!<\/p>\n

As real as it gets<\/a> – This is what Photoshop would look like if it were made out of the physical world.<\/p>\n

Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software Engineering<\/a> – A coworker sent me this great list. It was originally published in 2001 and its tenets remain true today.<\/p>\n

In closing, a silicon haiku from our IRC robot:<\/p>\n
