Iconize Textlinks with CSS

“Links are fun, but sometimes we don’t know where they take us. With this little CSS technique a user can identify a link by it’s icon… The idea is pretty simple, if a link points to a .pdf file, we show the .pdf icon after the link.”

Corrupt: Data corruption software

“The corruption process start by reading the binary of an image file [JPG or GIF], then some bytes are swaps [the number of replacement is a random value from 1 to 20]. The file is then “saved as” a new document. Depending on the number replacement and of the original compression, the image will have a completely different and unpredictable aesthetics.” NOTE: The system displays the last three uploaded images so here’s hoping none of them are NSFW… (Thanks 30gms!)
