This website is intended to showcase the trials and tribulations encountered by the mild-mannered Brian Latimer

Well, that may not be the real "purpose" of this site, but you get the idea.

 

Quartz Composer samples

One of the coolest features of Mac OS X is the built-in support for robust graphic image manipulation - the 2-dimensional display routines are referred to as the "Quartz" graphic subsystem.

And, with Tiger, this type of manipulation is being shown off quite well with the new "Quartz Composer" application - which allows you to do all sorts of cool things. To get an idea of just what types of things you can do with this type of power, check out the samples of these manipulations on the Futurismo Zugakousaku page (no, I have no idea what that is supposed to mean).

None of these are pre-rendered; everything shown can be done on-the-fly. Those sample movies there are abso-tively, posi-lutely incredible, IMHO. Mac OS X rocks, and these are just a few of the many reasons why.
