Enhance Photos with Filter

Jessica — Wed, 04 May 2005 13:43:22 +0000

Enhance your photos by using the High Pass Filter by Veerle. I hadn’t ever paid attention to what happens when I resize an image till I read Cameron Moll’s “Please Sweat the Small Stuff.” There’s a comparison in the comments of Moll’s, including the High Pass Filter.

Veerle: New Logo

Excellent writeup on a pretty logo by Veerle. I’m also enjoying the comment section. Think I’m learning more there than some of the books I have.

Drop in CS majors

Survey results from the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles (HERI/UCLA) show that the popularity of computer science (CS) as a major among incoming freshmen has dropped 60 percent from the fall of 2000 and 2004. The popularity of CS as a major among female undergraduates dropped 80 percent in the last seven years, and 93 percent since its all-time high in 1982.

Whatever we’re taking, we’re taking longer to graduate.

Postsecret is an ongoing community art project. People from around the world share their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

Clusty

I’ve been using Clusty, a metasearch engine, for a few now. I like the way that it clusters (gives me categories) and the presentation of image results. Don’t go thinking that I’m abandoning Google! I still think Google’s results are superior, but Clusty’s clustering thing is the bomb diggity.
