Dino Run

I’m not particularly fond of Flash, so I wasn’t all that excited when my phone was updated with it last night. Then I got the idea to see if my favorite-ever Flash game might be playable, and lo and behold, it worked like a charm. If you’ve got an Android 2.2 device with a keyboard, definitely give Dino Run a try. On the original Droid, the d-pad controls movement, ‘w’ jumps, and ‘s’ crouches. Now I need to try out the rest of PixelJam’s games on my phone — I’m guessing they’ll work just as well.

The Gmail Phone

This is so great it’s almost surreal. I make lots of calls from my computer, mostly international, and now I can finally say goodbye to the desktop VOIP applications I never wanted to use to begin with. I have a feeling I’ll be using my computer for more calls than ever before — I’ve already started, and it’s completely seamless.

[Edit] Some interesting analysis here, here, and here.

This may be my favorite ‘beautiful space shot’ of all time. And what a ship.

Nice Future

I stumbled upon this Ralph McQuarrie painting ages ago, but I still haven’t been able to find out the story behind it. Reminds me of what it was like to visit Epcot Center as a kid.

Android (finally) has another nice camera app, and it’s free. I’m enjoying it.

Stop Motion T-Rex

The original Jurassic Park test footage is incredibly cool.

[Edit] I knew I’d seen more in a making-of special when I was a kid, and I tracked it down just now. All of the footage can be seen in part two of this documentary. Some stop motion animatics appear toward the beginning, and the actual tests can be seen around 4:00.
