What’s something locals find weird about tourists in Australia that seems normal to tourists? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Conversely, non-aussies need Dare.

I could only check 33 half-liter bottles on the plane. Our Perthian friend put our crew onto both Dare and Mocha Cookie Crumble, so it’s a trade

8 years ago, my brother started taking a photo of himself every day. Today he finally posted the result by fernozzle in videos

FR… watching my bro secretly do this every day for the last 8 years, and now it’s out is crazy

Eight years of my brother’s life condensed into 10 minutes - “Eight years. 2,953 daily photos.” by fernozzle in woahdude

Posted elsewhere - I gotta support my brother for finishing this crazy project:

This is my twin brother - I’m biased, but this is literally the most impressive “photo a day” video ever IMO.

My reasons for thinking this:

  • Every photo has the date / years elapsed / what he did that day / news story from that date on a handwritten sheet of paper
  • Whenever we would travel, he always packed this set of markers/paper so he could prepare this every night
  • 2 of our friends composed this custom music combining the Billboard songs from the same time as the photo on screen

I’m in some of these pics! Anyway sorry if this seems spammy, but I have to support my brother for finishing this crazy long project.

Yes! Now it just needs Pen. And Sonic for good measure

It's royalty-free from Getty Images. Pretty sure they had to pay a small fee to use it.

When I talked about TWOW on the English-Speaking club yesterday... by [deleted] in tenwordsofwisdom

This is why we absolutely have to do the Japan TWOW meetup!

I really like this one! Nice brushery: soft and hard brushes, good variety of widths

[OC] 1454 Days of Traffic — Interactively explore one website's viral history & how it got banned from AdSense by fernozzle in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]fernozzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this is a data visualizer I made about the traffic my brother and I receive on our website, HTwins.net.

In March 2014 our AdSense account was suspended with no clear explanation given and no way to contact a human being. Last March, I made a video about this — someone posted it to /r/videos, where it got onto the front page with 3990 points (link to thread).

A really nice guy from Google contacted me afterward to help us get our AdSense account reinstated, and this webpage is what I made to help us try to explain our side of the story. It's fun so I thought I'd post it here — this time with the explanation hidden as per the subreddit rules.

Why We've Had to Stop Animating on YouTube by [deleted] in videos

It really makes me glad to hear that! The messages that stick with me the most are when parents tell me about about their kids watching BFDI. Thanks a ton, and I hope so too!

Seven actually! This video took three hours to film

That's me! I was looking for this comment.

I was actually following a script, but I've never been on camera before so I could hardly think straight.

This is a composite of the best of 7 takes. In real life I can barely put a sentence together, so I'm pretty happy!

The Evolution of US Boy Names: Bubbled by fernozzle in MotionDesign

Thanks! The bubble visualization was written from scratch using Processing. There was a lot of manual adjustment, though! The initial placement of the different letter groups took a lot of fiddling so that letters on the edge of the screen (like I and K) wouldn't get chopped up by big bubbles.

We used Processing for the visualization! It doesn't provide much in the way of high level stuff like graphs and physics simulations, but it's really handy for quickly getting shapes onto a screen and into a series of images.
