Since I haven’t posted in a while, I figured I would post some random crap to keep those of you who read this somewhat entertained. I was going over some new software for the cvs digital camera and camcorder that I bought a while back to play with and hack. So far the digital camera works perfect. I use it all the time to take pictures of random stuff and can do so without being worried about breaking it (it set me back only 20 bucks). Some people are still working on doing a better job at hacking the camcorder, but a few random videos are out.

As I was going through them I found an old optical illusion that I have seen many times and figured that I would share it with you kids and give you some links to let you build it if you would so desire. It is the old dragon that seems to follow you wherever you go. If that doesn’t make any sense at all, here are a couple videos that demonstrate it for you.

Video 1 (windows media)
Video 2 (Xvid, go to Videolan.org and download their player if you dont have Xvid support. It’s the best player ever!)

The second video was also captured on the CVS camcorder that I will hack once better software comes out for it.

If you guys want to make your own little ones of these, you can use this JPEG or this PDF file to print them out and then assemble. These files were obtained from grand-illusions.com.

That about does it for this post. I am sure I will be posting again as soon as the PM system goes live over at Neverside.
