Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

Well, sorry Vic, but I'm going to have to change my tune now.

Nvidia's Nvision 08 event ended with Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman attempting to show the difference between serial and parallel computing, using the power of paintballs. In an impressive, if slightly misleading, demonstration the pair first used a robot to draw a smiley face with a paintball gun, before attempting to blast a Mona Lisa onto a canvas with a massive array of over 1100 paintball launchers.

I was in the second row, with a nice clear view and a good long lens.

Enjoy.



A fun way to end a busy few days.
