I just took another look at the Google Chart API and discovered that it's bigger and better than ever. My latest trick is to use the new dynamic icons feature to generate some classic cycling scenes from the Tour de France. More details on my website: http://wordaligned.org/articles/bike-charts.

So how are Google apps going? I haven’t heard too much in the Australian press lately over the last 6 months.

The apps I use are the calendar (love the SMS reminders each week to put out the garbage), and Google Desktop which I use every day.

What’s your favourite Google app, not including search?

I’m off to find out what percentage of me can’t stop thinking about pie while making these graphs… *hint:like 100% or something*

That yellow gave me a headache. It really did. I wished I had my old monitor back instead of this giant flat screen deal. Uhh, my head hurts…

That post is hilarious! I also can’t believe people still remember Pac-Man!! I loved Pac-Man when I was a little kid.

Anyways back to the post, I have to disagree with the first post. I’d say all of it is Pac-Man, just the purple part is what Pac-Man is eating.

We know who had an Atari back in the day now!

The piece of pie image sort of reminds me of a Gestalt Principle called closure. Even with the piece of pie, you still see pack man.

Definition of Closure:

Closure occurs when an object is incomplete or a space is not completely enclosed. If enough of the shape is indicated, people perceive the whole by filling in the missing information.
