HERE IS TODAY

loud gush the streamlets,

Ben: either you didn't play with it or you're carping.

Tilt: thanks. :smile:

Everyone: if you liked that, you will probably like http://htwins.net/scale2/ ... although you may choose to turn off the mildly irritating 'cosmic' music.

Thanks Tilt. Makes being human seem SO insignificant.

I couldn't watch yours, Kim. Have to upgrade my Adobe.

With metta,

No thunder stolen. It is simply looking at two very different scales: time and size.

By the way, I am delighted to discover Gomez's Hamburger.

Thanks. Fun stuff.

Yes that's what my friend said actually Tilt when he saw both, they're complimentary :)

Hi, Chris,
You can see it on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaGEjrADGPA. The original lets you choose how fast you zoom around, though, while all you can do on the video version is pause to look at it, then restart.

:coffee:
Kim
