Evolution
Posted September 23, 2009
A robust, full featured (eventually) evolution simulator, similar to the old Maxis classic Sim Life, but much more scientific in nature. Creatures live by basic biological rules and evolve instinctual behaviors over successive generations. Behaviors are the result of neural network pathways, which can be quantitatively monitored in real time using graphs.
Pente

An online implementation of an old board game that's like Tic-Tac-Toe on steroids. Like most of the greatest games, the rules are simple, but the strategy is complex.

Save for All Photoshop Script
Posted July 08, 2009
This script will, in a single click, for each image open in Photoshop, save the .psd file, save a full size .tiff, convert your image to an 8-bit sRBG color space, then save high quality .jpg files in original, large web, thumbnail, and small thumbnail sizes, finally closing the file. It's a perfect way to wrap up work on a number of files to prepare for posting online. The size of the scaled images is easily adjusted by changing the values of variables near the top of the code.
