Philip Greenspun's Weblog: : Note: The traffic accident was an interesting example of Mutually Assured Destruction via SUV. The driver of a GMC SUV had lost control of his vehicle and spun it around, ending up by smashing into a tree. Because his vehicle was so ponderously bulky the impact had knocked the tree out of the ground. Sadly, in a Coyote v. Road Runner-esque turn of events, the tree proceeded to fall on the SUV's roof. In an effort to keep SUVs from rolling over there apparently isn't much structure up there. So the entire roof of the SUV had been flattened by the tree.
Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
