- shar0213, on 01/10/2008, -0/+16In a marathon 36-hour coding session, I wrote a graffiti program using OpenGL and some funky math that lets you draw on 7-story buildings using just a laser pointer, and from blocks away too. It all uses normal consumer equipment that you probably have laying around the house. :) Code is open-source too.

- MISDIREK7ED, on 01/10/2008, -0/+3These are OK..... but nothing compared to the King Graf Geek - Space Invader. He has hit pretty much every continent, and his website has maps of the invaders' locations.

- lucutus, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1Man I need me one of those projectors! Anyone know where one can be obtained? I think that and a net gun aimed at the gathering crowd could be most beautifull.
