Random Image Search

Here's a cool trick, go to google image search and type in something like DSC00731.jpg. Replace the 5 digit number with any number though, like DSC00276.jpg or DSC01938.jpg. I think Sony digital cameras create files beginning with DSC, so what this does is bring up an assortment of pictures from all walks of life. In one search I found pictures of the catacombs in France, a head injury, belly dancers, a chess tournament, a cruise ship, a guy dressed in a hot dog costume, the inside of a dining car on a train, penguins, etc.

In other "I'm bored, let's look at the intarweb" news, try this puzzle game. I got stuck a couple times but was able to finish the game without outside help.

Nikon cameras have an underscore after DSC e.g. DSC_0002.jpg.

It would be interesting to find out what other camera makers use like Canon and Olympus. Random photos are your friend.
