A little follow up to our earlier posts about symmetries, which were a collaborative effort with graphics designer Etienne Mineur, who contemplated at the same time about ambigrammes in a socalled mineur-randfrom Blog pong match.

Sascha Lobo from riesenmaschine found via designboom the page of ambigramme designer John Langdon and found there probably (wo hat er das denn schon wieder ausgebuddelt!) also the link of this very cool ambigramm generator.

A very worthwhile-to-visit website is the one of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA. Here one can e.g. surf to the remarkable ANTS – Autonomous NanoTechnology Swarm webpage (also autonomous in terms of graphic design…). (more…)

Due to a high failure rate on our math test :( in the comments section we temporarily switched off the math test script (which was not written by ourselves). No – seriously we would like to excuse ourselves for any comments which got lost. Unfortunately we only just noticed that there were quite a bit of comments lost, however we couldnt recover them. Due to this we will temporarily put comments on moderation. means: your comment doesn’t appear immediately…but will appear after being checked for spam.

thanks for your patience.
