xkcd today
In honor of (and from) today's xkcd comic I created the following:

You'll need gif animations turned on to see it properly.

It is cleaned up a bit and sized to fit an LJ icon. I'm sure I'm not the first to do it today (it's been posted for over 10 hours now) but here it is anyway. Enjoy.

Hee! I love that. Do you mind if I add it to my userpics?

You're welcome to use it. There's a nicer version that someone created (adding extra frames making a smoother animation) here but it's just a bit too large to be used as an LJ icon.

cool :) i figured 20 people would do it before me.

you saw the one that rotates as well?

i was thinking of one that shows an animated mobius loop sliding around with the image intact around... i don't have such software for 3D animation, but well, nice image.

I'm not sure what you're refering to regarding the one that "rotates as well". Can you send me a URL?

That shouldn't be that hard to do with just a few linear transforms on the images. What would be cooler would be to show the projection also... that sounds like a fun little project.
