Forgot where I found this, but wow, it's a real life recreation of M.C Escher's Waterfall painting.

Oh wow! Anybody know how he did that one?

Yeah, he used sony aftereffects, unfortunately. Not truly real, but a damn good illusion.

Also, while we're on the subject of impossible looking art, this one does follow physics.

My hard drive is showing that there is now about 10GB more space free than when I looked at it last night. And I haven't removed anything lately.

Either that, or stepdad, if he has access to your computer.

He does not, is too stupid to know how to use a computer, and I doubt he is stealthy enough to access my computer while I'm sleeping 5 feet away.

Like I said, something probably automatedly cleaned out your temp files. I've had those get over 100 gigs before, so 10 is not out of the questin.

If your computer makes, manages and deletes system restore points, that could very easily be it.

Yeah, it's called Ferrofluid. It's basically a magnetic fluid that does all sorts of crazy stuff.

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

Ferrofluids are right up there on the awesomeness scale with the liquids that solidify on pressure.

Non-newtonian fluids. That's the name.

Cornflour and water, carefully and slowly mixed, does the solidify-with-pressure thing. Fun, and cheap.

Ferro-fluid: iron crystals suspended in a semi-viscous liquid (usually oil) that when exposed to a magnetic field the crystals will jump to the field but still bound to the oil and creating those awesome spikes you guys enjoy.

I loves me some non-Newtonian states of matter.
I just got an email from Bioware helpfully informing me the NWN server was hacked.  Uh, ok, thanks, but I've never played any Bioware game let alone NWN and I certainly never registered and gave them my email address (and most definitely not the one they notified).  So either they bought it from someone for whatever reason, or else something fishy is going on over there.
