100,000 Stars Web GL

{ LINK }

This is an ambsolutely amazing WebGL built site. Much like one I previously featured where you could look through objects of different sizes by scrolling, this let you zoom in and out of our known universe. I've always been facinated by astronomy and to see this really pulls on my heart and brain strings! Knowing that we are a tiny spec in this gargantuan universe spreading across thousands of light years, and the fact that we know all of this exists is simply phenomenal. Makes you feel so very small, yet so very special. If we really are the only life in this vast space then we are an incredibly lucky little planet.

Web lovers and astronomy lovers will enjoy this incredible site. Check it out NOW!

RIP Ceefax

At 23.30 BST tonight, Dame Mary Peters will turn off the analogue tv signal from Northern Ireland, meaning the end of 38 years of service for BBC Ceefax.

The idea when it was conceived was to give the public free access to the latest news as soon as it hit the BBC newsroom. It was named Ceefax after the simple basis that it enables users to 'see facts' from the day.

It's a sad departure to a well loved feature of analogue tv's. I still remember the 3-digit code for the 'non and next' programme viewer (606) and used to love the old quiz game Bamboozle!

Goodbye Ceefax, our big-pixeled friend! You will not be forgotten.

** CORRECTION -- Bamboozle was on Teletext, not Ceefax**

Don't Look!

Don't look! from Nick Khoo on Vimeo.

It's been a long time since I've posted a good animation, so it had to be a good one. And this short by Nick Khoo is nothing short of brilliant. A beautiful style and brilliant story come together to make one fantastic little piece.

World's Largest QR Code!

A family in Canada grew the world's biggest Qr code in their corn Field!

Having already been famous for their corn mazes (maizes? far too corny... sorry!) they have now entered the record books and truly made history with their latest creation.

Covering over 29,000 sq meters it is the largest functioning QR Code in the world, although you'll need to fly over it to be able to scan it! They made a video showing the functionality to prove that it works by flying a helicopter over the QR Code of corn and scanning it on a smartphone.

“It was something that we didn't think would happen. There were a lot of little things we had to do and Guinness is pretty picky with how you collect your evidence. We were a little bit on edge on whether it would come through so we were very relieved and very excited,” Rachel Kraay told CTV-News.

A brilliant creation, but like many Guinness World Records, utterly useless! Also, if you're ever considering using a QR code yourself, do check out this site first www.shouldiuseaqrcode.com
