Saving Private Ryan Made Easy ;)
This is an interesting video showing 3 smart graphics designers which took them 4 days to recreate the Omaha beach invasion scene of the Saving Private Ryan film.

Geek Test ;)
I took the Geekness test here and got 85 
which probably makes me a High-Level Computer Geek
And it also made me a Cool High Nerd ;D
Puppy Linux
Puppy linux is what I call it the best of lightweight linux distributions. I have a quite old machine at home, a PIII 500 MHz with 386 MB RAM. While other distros crawl on it (even those which claim to be lightweight), I found Puppy to be rocking on it blazingly fast. It has a technology to load itself to RAM and become quite fast even on old machines. It comes in less than 100 MB and has a wide range of nice applications suitable for older machines. So if you want to breathe life into your old machines, just give it a try. You won’t regret it ;).
Esfandgan
Did you know Persians have a day devoted for love called “Esfandgan-Mazdegan” and this day has its roots into more than 1700 years B.C.? And guess when is the date, 29 Bahman which is 18 Feb in Gregorian calendar, which almost coincides with the current Valentine day which is celebrated for the same reason. Is not it interesting. You can read more about it in an article published in Persian Journal.
