do you see what i see?
So we have been going batty trying to get our photos to have consistent colours between our laptops. It's really disconcerting when you post-process a photo only to realize it looks completely different on another monitor. That's where this little tool comes in, the
Huey is a little gadget that helps calibrate the colour of your display. It's really small, relatively inexpensive and has little suction cups. The cups are its biggest selling point. Not really. It significantly altered our displays for the better, and now they match. No more evil doppleganger photos!
Thanks to
Sam for the recommendation.

uBrowser be cool browser
uBrowser is a simple Web Browser that illustrates one way of embedding the Mozilla® Gecko rendering engine into a standalone application using LibXUL. In this case, the contents of the page is grabbed as it's being rendered and displayed as a texture on some geometry using OpenGL™. You are able to interact with the page (mostly) normally and visit (almost) any site that works correctly with Firefox® 1.5.
uBrowser allows you to manipulate your internet browsing in realtime 3d space. It's not what you would call useful, but it sure is visually pleasing. The above picture utilizes the cube feature of
uBrowser. A site will stay fully functional as you mess around with the 3d attributes, although some things such as
quicktime movies don't seem to want to play.

Flickeur
Flickeur is another fun example of what can be done with the
Flickr API. It's kind of amazing to consider how hard this would have been to pull off with real film....it gets better the longer you watch, so be patient.

Tagnautica
Tagnautica allows you to explore
flickr tags in a purely visual "click and and see what it shows you" kind of way. It's an interesting way to spend 5 minutes, but the depth of other projects such as Marcos Weskamp's
flickrgraph make it pale in comparison.
