les quatre saisons
I've been home sick for three days and I've pretty much exhausted all my usual forms of internet entertainment. I'm all caught up on the RSS feeds I read in Google Reader, and sites like reddit.com don't change nearly fast enough over the course of a day.

So, I did what I've done for years when I'm bored on the internet, and headed over to Fourmilab to see what's new. There's always something geeky and interesting there. Today, I came across Les Quatre Saisons, which is a time-lapse video taken over the course of a year, replayed at a rate of one day per second, and set to Antonio Vivaldi's Le quattro stagioni. The page details the equipment and methods used to produce the video. The video is well-produced, and while it will never soar to the top of the charts on YouTube, it's worth a watch.

Would have been better if he'd morphed from frame to frame.

And what's with the cheesy Casio rendition of Le quattro stagioni?

Yeah, a morph would have been cool. The music was from a free MIDI rendition of the song; he said it was the best he found (which means "least cheesy").
