Wow. Pictures.
This site displays the last 30 images uploaded to LiveJournal blogs. There are well over a million active LiveJournal users. There are 15,000 posts per hour and 250 posts per minute. I don't know the stats on how many images are uploaded, but reloading this page after even a minute will get you 30 brand-new images.
It's both an incredible time-waster and an interesting found-art project. Something about the pictures, devoid of any context, makes them fascinating. Clicking on the images will take you to the blog that gave birth to them, but after a few times, I got bored with the minutia of people's lives. I just like the pictures. Be careful, though, especially if you work in a cubicle hell: once in a while a not-safe-for-work image will pop up.

Posted by: Amy at May 13, 2004 3:30 PMI've decided that I'm going to write a postmodern masterpiece. I'll write a chapter inspired by each picture that comes up on a random reload of that page. I'll be damnrich! Nobody steal my idea, now...

I jest. The pictures WERE fascinating out of context like that. It was rather artistic or somethin'. It kind of reminded me of our computer at home. We have a screensaver that shows photos from our computer's MY PICTURES file, and there is such a wide variety of stuff there that I love watching it do its thing.
