Aimlessly Writing in Any Direction

How many photos does it take to create a Google Logo? 884 to be exact. Using all 4″ x 6″ photographs, It took a group of Google London employees five and half hours to create the humongous logo.

Even better is that they created a time-lapse video of the entire process. A camera was set up to take a shot every 7 seconds and was then compressed into the nice and short 1.5 minute video you see below. I would love to see the logo up-close so I could see each of the photos.

This is the coolest Super Mario remake I’ve ever seen. You can play the first Super Mario Bros. with the original Mario, Link from Zelda, Simon from Castlevania, Samus from Metroid, Mega Man or Bill Rizer from Contra. What’s makes this super-freakin-cool though is that each character plays just like they do in their own games. You can now kill Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Piranha Plants with some of the most awesome classic video game characters ever. Check out Super Mario Crossover at the link. Check out a video I took of myself playing the game below.
