Links: Pages, Bytes, and Escher

Paged Out! is, in its own words, an experimental (one article == one page) technical magazine about programming (especially programming tricks), hacking, security hacking, modern computers, electronics, demoscene, and other similar topics. I just got turned on to this, but I am really loving the most recent issue, Issue 7, which came out last month.

Someone has taken every page of every issue of BYTE magazine and combined them into a single image. Amazingly, it’s even searchable by regular expression!

The Boston Public Library has posted digital copies of its M. C. Escher prints, and they are really something to behold. I remember a high school art project where my teacher, Mrs. Allard, asked the class to create something inspired by Escher. I did a transitional pen-and-ink pattern-filling based on Day and Night, and I’ve had a soft spot for his work ever since.
