Stick Figure Animation

I like animation. Sometime ago I came across the XIAOXIAO MOVIE website. It features many stick figure animations involving kung-fu. They are awesome. Today there is a post on BoingBoing involving stick figures. Oh, and also see this stick figure recreation of the Weapon of Choice video by Fatboy Slim. Enjoy!

Got Blog?

According to this post:
- Technorati is tracking 3 million blogs, including this one.
- A new blog is created every 5.8 seconds.
- 275,000 individual posts everyday. This is one of them.
- People are moving away from the TV to the computer. I know, I am.

I think this is probably going to continue well into the next year. Even more if Yahoo! and MSN provide blogging services and Google integrates its services.

20Q.net

According to the website, "20Q.net is an experiment in artificial intelligence." I found it here on Dina's blog. It really is quite good.

Saturn by Cassini

Last weekend I started reading about the imminent arrival of Cassini at Saturn. I'm the casual space enthusiast who doesn't go to space.com everyday but gets quite excited when something is happening up/out there. Even more when the event is influenced by humans. Last night Cassini made it and is now in orbit around the planet. Woohoo! Congratulations to everyone involved.
