Photosynth +
“When a scene is photographed many times by different people, the viewpoints often cluster along certain paths. These paths are largely specific to the scene being photographed, and traverse interesting regions and viewpoints. We seek to discover a range of such paths and turn them into controls for image-based rendering. Our approach takes as input a large set of community or personal photos, reconstructs camera viewpoints, and automatically computes orbits, panoramas, canonical views, and optimal paths between views. The scene can then be interactively browsed in 3D using these controls or with five degree-of-freedom free-viewpoint control. As the user browses the scene, nearby views are continuously selected and transformed, using control-adaptive reprojection techniques.”

Star Draws
Wonderful high-res scans of Ralph McQuarrie’s original concept paintings and drawings created for the original Star Wars trilogy.
Star Trike
This picture is apparently from the 1982 San Diego Comic Con, but it is worthy of sharing because of the opportunity to write yet another rubbish pun.
Sporegeous
Sporepedia is a community site for Spore, the forthcoming evolution sim from Will Wright. You can upload your monisters or download those created by others, and do the same thing with buildings, vehicles and spaceships etc…
Quake Simpsons
Like I said.
Spork Swords
The Spore Creature Creator was released this week, and guess what..? Yep, it’s turned into a cock-fest. The ‘creature creating community’ have crafted dozens of new lifeforms, all with massive boners. If you search YouTube for “spore penis” you’ll return about 150 vid’s, including Penisman, the Penizaur, the Peenisaurus, the Penis Goblin and the the oddly named Penis Creature #1029438.
Never fails.
If you’re not a child, do not despair: the creator has spawned over 250,000 real monsters after just one day.
