Blurity, my project for making blurry photos sharp
http://www.blurity.com/ Hi everybody, Wanted to show you all what I've been working on for the past (many) months. It's an online tool to remove the blur from motion-blurred photos. First, let me set some expectations: this only works on certain types of blur. Severe focus blur, blur that is inconsistent within the photo, "blur" because the image is very small, blur due to compression artifacts, and other non-motion blurs don't usually work too well (there are occasional exceptions). Early users (and paying customers, woo!) have shown a remarkable breadth of interpretations about what…

In plain words
Blurity is an online tool that sharpens motion-blurred photos. It works specifically on motion blur rather than focus blur, compression artifacts, or other types of image degradation. The tool builds a model of blur in photos to remove it, though results vary depending on the type and severity of blur present. It is designed for users who need to recover detail from photos affected by camera movement during capture.

Just wanted to show off my side project, Blurity. It removes blur from blurry photos. If this sounds familiar, it might be one of two things: either that cool Adobe demo last fall that did something similar, or my post a year ago about an earlier version of Blurity (before I pivoted from a web app to a PC app). Anyhow, check out some of what it can do at: https://www.blurity.com/features Not entirely certain about the right market yet. Ideas appreciated! Thanks!

hi all, I've always wanted to make my own game, but couldn't afford a thousand-dollar adobe (flash+photoshop) license. I'm not a talented programmer, have no degree in CS. But I understand some elements of design. So I got me a copy of ImpactJS, and after about 5 months of steep learning curve (at least for me), I managed to come up with a game. I also integrated it with a highscore and badge system, similar to what you get at Kongregate. You need to login with Google/OpenID to earn badges/scores. link is: http://www.hotbazooka.com/privatejoe hope to hear some feedback/questions from you guys!

I remember seeing the Dragon Labs Dragonfish Glowing Form Demo[1] when it first came out, and it always stuck in my head. They implement the effect by using a rather large background image and a mask image and move the background image around via Javascript. I was inspired and wanted to see how close I could get with CSS3. I recommend using a Webkit browser [and you can see an alternate version of the animation on Firefox 4].
