I’ve got a mixed bag of entertainment this Friday. There’s an interactive segment involving a dog and typing; a bit of a how-to (although I doubt you can); an imaginative video using Flash; and a quiz to test your intellect. Oh…and a gratuitous guitar video (just because).<\/p>\n
Like I said, it’s a mixed bag, but hey — it’s almost the weekend, right?<\/p>\n
Here we go…<\/p>\n
This is the interactive part. Click this link<\/a> and you’ll figure out what’s required. Can anyone say “precious?”<\/p>\n I’ve linked to some previous videos about 3-D sidewalk artists (here’s one of my posts<\/a>) and I think I’ve seen the one that’s the subject of this video before. But this is a video about how the piece was made. It’s fascinating to see the care that goes into creating the illusion of depth using a 2-D picture. It’s kind of long, but interesting.<\/p>\n Here’s the link to the video.<\/a><\/p>\n It’s not a guitar video, but it goes well with one. An imaginative use of Flash animation and a catchy beat.<\/p>\n Watch the video here.<\/a><\/p>\n Do you like challenges? I found another on-line science quiz from the BBC. This is a hard one — at least I didn’t do that well. Surprising how often the right answer is not what you expected.<\/p>\n Take the quiz yourself here.<\/a><\/p>\n It’s been awhile since I’ve put up a guitar video. Here’s one from the Sydney Opera House. This guy is a 12-string virtuoso.<\/p>\nHow to create a 3-D sidewalk image<\/h3>\n
Get the beat<\/h3>\n
Did I mention there would be a quiz?<\/h3>\n
And finally, the gratuitous Guitar Video<\/h3>\n
