Inside the Box
Shortly after we opened the CIS Sandbox last fall, Caleb Cochran from the Bentley Observer asked if we could do a photoshoot of the CIS Sandbox to give people a sense of our new space. The panoramic result above appears in the Winter 2012 Bentley Observer magazine.
The photo shoot was scheduled just before Thanksgiving, so it was quiet in the Sandbox that day, as many students had already made plans to go home for the holiday. We mustered up a few students to help out with the photo shoot.
A few photos of how this shot was captured, and a video tour of the
CIS Sandbox , after the jump.
Computer Humor
Hey everybody, check out this random website I found the other day containing some interesting spoofs of computer stuff. http://www.jr.co.il/humor/computer.txt Here are a few samples from the website: Definition of…
Image Search by Google
You’ve most likely searched for images on Google by using keywords, but have you ever searched for images using images? It would be a pretty cool idea wouldn’t it? This is exactly what Google allows you to do now. And it is just as easy to do as normal searching.
You can get started by going over to http://www.google.com/images, or if you’re on the main Google website, you can just click on the “Images” link at the top left corner. You’ll know you’re on the right page when you see the small ‘camera’ icon next to the search box.
Fun Tips and Tricks with Google
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone find Google has an excellent sense of humor like I do? Not only because you can always enjoy special doodles from the home page when it’s a holiday, but also because Google has many fun things, like Easter eggs, gags, or hoaxes. Here I sorted out some tricks that I enjoyed.
Before we start to have fun with Google, you need to make sure you can click “ I’m Feeling Lucky” button on the home page to search key words. If the results appear immediately while you are entering words, you need to make a little adjustment: click on the little setting button on the right corner, choose “ search settings”. And then under the “Google Instant predictions” choose “never show Instant results”.
Now you can have a little fun.
1. Type “tilt” in the search bar and see what happen. Your screen is actually going to tilt.
2. Type “ do a barrel roll”. You will see Google do what you want again.
3. Now type “google gravity” and click “I’m feeling lucky”, you will see your Google search screen fall into pieces.
4. If you are crazy about ASCII, type “ascii art” in your search bar (remember to type lower case).
You will see this special logo.
