> Andrea Frick: I've posted several links to tessellations before (and if you can't find them here via the search box it's probably because I misspelled it tesselation in the past), but I don't think I ever saw animated ones: Take a look at Tesselating Animation - it has 23 animated tessellations. I found the link on this MetaFilter thread, which in turn linked to an older thread about an animation of a drawing by M. C. Escher. The original drawing has a blank space in the middle, and Hendrik Lenstra calculated what belongs there (New York Times link).

> Don Park: Ground is shaking in UserLand. John Robb's abrupt departure and blog disappearance smells bad. Dave is hinting at a bigger change that should be "net-net good news for Manila and Radio users and for the weblog community." While going open source is a possibility, "We weren't ready to announce, John surprised us" seems to point to a buyout. My list of suspects with recent news about AOL's entry into BlogLand are:

  • Adobe
  • Symantec
  • Macromedia
Intriguing drama unfolding...

> Adam Curry: Doug Mohney celebrates mtv.com's 10th anniversary with an accurate history of the 'early' days in 1993 when I owned the domainname: "Remember dear friends, back in '93, the only people who had 'Net e-mail addresses back in those days were academics and some government agencies, and Spam was still something you ate." To complete Doug's article, I'll fill in the missing gap: "The lawsuit between Mr. Curry and MTV Networks has been settled out of court. Neither party has any further comment on the matter".
