A 2000-pixel wide version (350 KB) is also available. A 4500x2522 version (977 KB) exists, but why would you ever want it? Compare this version to the original.

| UCB Bonfire - 160 KB. Stylized photograph: 1024x768. A primary-color-ified photograph of the 2000 "beat Stanfurd" rally in the Greek theater. We lost. We lost again in 2001. However, we finally won in 2002, and again in 2003.

| Eyes - 264 KB. Photo collage: 1024x768. This was inspired by a discussion of whether or not you could recognize people solely by looking at their eyebrows. The hundred or so eyes are mostly from people in Berkeley and Memphis. The answers are also available, if you give up.

- Stereoscopic 3D Images
-
If you focus your eyes "through" the screen to line up the images, you will see a pseudo-3D image. The same viewing technique is used on Magic Eye images, but this is slightly easier, since you can already see what you are trying to line up. If you scaled these images properly, they would also work on old Victorian stereoscopes.
- Ceiling lantern in Wheeler - 70 KB. Stereoscopic image. This pair of images is relatively easy to get focused together, and you get a pretty good sense of 3d from it.
- Bronze bust in Wheeler - 65 KB. Stereoscopic image. This one's pretty cool when you get it.
- The "Superb" bee in Wheeler - 70 KB. Stereoscopic image. The reflections on the case make this image harder to focus and somewhat less rewarding when you do get it.
- My Desk at Berkeley (Fall '01) - 30 KB. Stereoscopic image. This image is a lot harder to focus than the others, but the 3d effect is more pronounced.
- "Mission Possible" (2000) - 50 KB. Stereoscopic image. This was a not-so-good entry in the 2000 Science Olympiad. Although it didn't actually work, it was still good for "participation points." The stereo separation on this image is even worse than on the desk, and the entire image is not visible in both frames, so the 3d isn't all that great even when you do get it.
- Che Cards
-
Four images in the style of those Che Guevara T-shirt pictures (75KB each, GIF: ~600 x 800). Tony's came out the best. Alex, Lorrie, Rachel, and Tony. Disclaimer: if you are a Communist or Latin American freedom fighter, please note that these images are not suitable for inspiring the populace or filling them with anti-capitalist zeal. You have been warned.
- Animated gif
- Melon Kiwano - 65KB. Animated GIF: 100x158. This is an animation I made from a series of images of an odd orange spiked melon.
