"This is what you get when you capture 69,550 full resolution frames from the six Star Wars movies and combine them with a version of DaVinci's Last Supper on a PC with mosaic-making software and a custom matlab-based algorithm. The 262-megapixel mosaic (24,168 x 10,864 pixels) took two weeks to complete, including 30 hours of computing power and manual retouching for the final version."
And he skipped college classes for two weeks to finish this.
Geek of the Year™? Me thinks so... ;)
**scrambles to find a copy online**
I would have asked if YOU did it, but then I saw you said he skipped college for it. LOL
Ouch!
Oh come on Chuck, you know he's a true trekky at heart!
Holy shyytt. Mentions Matlab at one point in that description. I had to use that for one of my classes last year. Helluva time just figuring the thing out to do some basic matrix operations :hick: Cant even imagine what the dude did with it for THAT.
Gotta compliment him it looks great! Oughta get some kind of paymnet for that from...someone I dunno who but he oughta get paid for that lol.
How did he get away with skipping classes for two weeks?
If I miss any one class more than twice I fail the course and 2 weeks would be 4 classes. They even have me on the classes I have once a week. I can only miss one of those.
Good grades and parental political muscle can go a
LONG way....
Insert Eric's voice when reading the picture caption:
Knowing what Eric sounds like,, Thats really funny!!!! Hahaha
Leave it to Eric to find true signs of geekdom.
Ahem...the pot calls the kettle black, huh? (http://"http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=21330226")
I rest my case. :flip:
The Cure?
BILL-BILL-BILL-BILL-BILL
ROFL :giggle: owned
and what is wrong with that?
The only time I heard anyone mention the cure was back in the 80's.
And the wedding singer.
Its more like a blast from the past. Didn't know anyone even remembered.
Kinda like whipping out a name like Lisa Lisa or Venom. I guess I wasn't ready for it.
The Cure rocks.
And the 80's comment is kind of ironic on a Fox board...
I was more of an R.E.M./Teenage Head follower myself.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate The Cure
ding ding we have a winnah!
I am so going to get it for posting this...:beatyoass:

I might put something else in place of #14 but otherwise this is by far the best mix CD I've ever burned. It's meant to be listened to straight through, without skipping around. I spent hours thinking the pacing through from one song to the next. The guy at the autosound shop made me stand there while he copied down the exact list and resolved to make one for himself :D
Wow...late '80's flashback!
Good substitutes for #14 would be either:
R.E.M. - Orange Crush
R.E.M. - It's the End of the World (As We Know It)
Probably Orange Crush more. ITEOTW would be better finishing out a CD (which is where I put it on another disc), but in this case I'm using Bangles for that.
I have both on other discs which is why they aren't on #1. When I made mix CD's one rule I used was never to put the same group on a CD twice, and to look *very* closely at how they pace from one song to the next (so for instance, the Duran Duran song is more subdued and sets up Eurythmics perfectly).
I'm glad "hungry like the wolf" wasn't in the line up. LOL
When I did my classic rock mix, I found Hells Bells by ACDC to be THE PERFECT opening song. Starts off with slow guitar, then slowly picks up into a good, exciting beat.
I was thinking about Eric's comment to John... I could only come up with this.....
Pot... let me introduce you to Kettle. :rollin:
