Techy Goodness

Escher and the Droste Effect
Hey Fernando, check out what a bunch of mathematicians did when they got tired of just bugging out at Escher's stills. Pretty amazing. And I think if you stop the animation somewhere in the middle of the loop you can see your mom getting it from multiple angles and dimensions. So, all in all, pretty realistic.
3D Uber-tool
Also, I learned today that Autodesk (the makers of 3D Studio Max) have purchased Alias (the makers of Maya 3D). Soon, I imagine we can look forward to one giant 3D Uber-tool. At which point your mother will probably eat it.
