Another Cool Music Site - 8tracks

I'm a sucker for Internet radio sites. My favs are Spotify and Pandora. Too early to know if 8tracks will rise to the top but I like what I see and hear so far.

Rainy Mood Loves You

Can you tell what's fake here?

Check out the latest from the illusionist extraordinaire Brusspup. Here, he demonstrates that looks can be deceiving:

 

  

 


The technique is called anamorphosis -- the image is distorted and elongated so that it appears natural from a certain angle.  

Brusspup adds to the illusion by placing the photo-realistic images alongside every day objects and then using video to reveal the perspective change in real time. A very cool video.

Please see it and rate it here on 12/2. After 12/2, find it in the Cool Site of the Day archive.

See more of Brusspup's illusions on his Youtube channel.

Live Car Hire - get the best price on local car rental

Need to rent a car and don't want to overpay? LiveCarHire searches 500+ car rental companies at 30,000 locations in 174 countries to give you the largest selection of competitive car rental rates from the top car rental companies worldwide. 

In addition to the standard worldwide Airport Search, the visitor can imap display cities, train stations, ports, areas or street address for the nearest available car hire deals. Pretty cool.

Here is an example of the search map display, comparing all available car hire/rentals, with each search having the imap zoom facility to widen or narrow the search area:

There is also a free iphone app that provides exactly the same Live Car Hire service on ipad, iphone and ipod.
