We take a look at the latest Internet hype, a cool online drawing tool, and this weeks Dilbert.

I often write about new stuff on the Internet here, and today I bring you one of the most useless services I can imagine: ChatRoulette. In ChatRoulette you get paired up with a stranger, and you can video-chat with a webcam. At any time you can press the Next button, and meet a new person. And that is really all there is too it. Prepare to be offended and scarred for life if you choose to try it.

Luckily, there are people who are genuinely creative, and can create a funny concept even from this lame service. The man we are about to see did exactly that. Just watch the video belowYouTube - Chat Roulette Funny Piano Improv.

I should mention that ChatRoulette was created by a 17-year old Russian boy in 2 days. He still runs the server from his bedroomWiki - ChatRoulette. I think that is quite impressive. For some funny, and at times weird, screenshots from ChatRoulette, check out this site: Lawrence.com - The Best of Chatroulette

Flame

Flame is a online tool, that allows you to paint in a new and exciting way. It's hard to describe, and hard to do also I guess, but it's easy to see the potential. I recommend that you test it, since it really is something else!

The second, and least impressive, of the two images to the right is my interpretation of a black hole. The first, and much cooler, is a flame dragon from the Flame gallery, which you really should check out! It is awesome!

From the website:

Flame is a painting program, it belongs to my 'I am Artist' experimental project. I think with tools which inspires you, everyone can be an artist. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. When you change background from black to white, palette changes from additive to substactive and the feeling of the painting is very different. It's not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation.
