Amazing Algorithms: 3D Visualization and Kinetic Design
I’m lovin’ me some algorithms. I’ve actually become so interested in them it’s affected my posting frequency and I’m starting to see domino-like creatures forming beautiful patterns in my numerically challenged nightmares.
An algorithmic approach to design. Boring huh? Well, the results these patterns of numerical data create are the most amazingly fluid and kinetically pleasing designs you’ll feast your eyes upon.

From 4 women, 1 bathroom
(http://owlhaven.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/4-women-1-bathroom)
“Me? I still had a blanket crease on my cheek and I couldn’t find my shoes. Also, sadly, I discovered I’d left my mascara at home. Fortunately I’d been incredibly lazy the night before and hadn’t ever gotten around to taking off yesterday’s. So now not only did I have second day hair, I had second day mascara.”

Blog Title PENSIEVE
Blog URL: http://pensieve.typepad.com/pensieve/
Blog Tagline: Magically delicious!
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Would you visit PENSIEVE if $1,000 was up for grabs? Ok, it’s not, but does bribery work, ’cause with all these FABULOUS blogs Liz is showcasing, what in the WORLD do I say to entice you to visit mine? Laughter is divine and you’ll find a healthy dose of it there amidst a Southern slice of life with two teens and a tween…and then I’ll move you to tears when you never saw it coming. The ellipses is my favorite punctuation mark with exclamation points trailing slightly in second place. Often tongue in cheek, always encouraging, snarky but NEVAH mean!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
p.s. I’m really an A-list actress, secretly blogging under the PENSIEVE pseudonym, and if you look closely, you’ll guess who I am.
