"Interesting" C5 'Vette

Here is an interesting VWVortex link. It's a late model C5 Corvette with a '53 "body kit". An odd hybrid if you will. Not my cuppa but certainly well done and almost looks like it is meant to be that way. Cool eh?

Basically it'll take any image and rasterise it. Make it black and white and like those old comics done with dots... you know the ones (BANG!).

Have a go HERE. Printing them off might be hard but... worth it!

Viridian Room 2

The first room wasn't all that hard to escape from. Random clicking eventually saw me out of there.. the sequel isn't as easy; but it's no less enjoyable! Have a go... oh, some parts are random!

I Luuuurve this!

Geek OUT and buy this. Love it!
