Click Three Points: An Interactive Showcase

This is a fun application of fractal geometry. Choose a number, click three random areas on the screen, and watch the results. I especially like the designs created by Yves Pauwels.

one of those days

the wave organ

I was a little disappointed when I finally made my way to the Wave Organ while in San Francisco this year. The organ has been abandoned--without any regular upkeep, many of the underwater tubes have become clogged, preventing almost all sound.

But I still enjoyed the visual aspect of this sonic art installation. When something turns out not to be what was expected, then appreciate it for what it is.

embrace the random xxxviii

Here is an epic site of randomness entitled game, game, game and again game. An interactive quest of sorts, it incorporates crayon scribbles, abstract poetry, goofy sound effects, and sometimes-catchy-sometimes-annoying blip-bloop music. A sample:

The Book of Jelly 34:44
...and up was the official
direction of heaven
and lions were there
eating cake with bunnies
Have fun.
