Creating two images from one set of pixels



Using a procedure to scatter pixels in an image¹ it's possible to "encode" a second image onto the result, and have two discernible images contained within one set of pixels.



The process is simple. Scatter the pixels, then multiply (or add, etc.) the result with the image you wish to include. This effectively "stains" the pixels in that position, meaning that, encrypting and decrying the image will flip-flop between which image is displayed.

Interstellar (2014)



Interstellar is not a film about space; Interstellar is a film about noses; Intersmeller.

Interstellar would have been a better movie if everyone died at the end. And by "everyone", I mean every human in the universe.

I would have given a 15 minute exposition at the end, documenting humanity's complete and utter extinction. The final scene being an American flag flapping on an alien planet - Imperialism outlives us all.

Intergalactic Manifest Destiny.

Anna Fenninger Skiing for Germany (Deutscher Skiverband) next year?

Anna Fenninger pictured in German DSV alpine skiing racesuits

Since early this year, there have been rumors that Austrian alpine skier, Anna Fenninger, will ski for Germany next year, due to ongoing disagreements with staff at the Austrian ski team (ÖSV). 

For technical reasons alone, such a move is highly unlikely. Changing one's representative country involves suffering punitive FIS rules regarding ranking. It is probably no more than fanciful thoughts by sports journalists, or an idle threat to get everyone involved seeing eye to eye.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the prospect so much, that I decided to mock up images of Fenninger in DSV livery.
