21st century fridge magnets?

Ortho Type is a 3d font concept from Enrico Bravi, Mikkel Crone Koser and Paolo Palma, with virtual and physical implementations. The demonstration applet allows you to write your own messages, and the interface allows you to read the message from different angles. It has to be seen moving, I think, in order to appreciate just how smart it is. I would definitely buy a box full of these - I want to pick them up and move them around!

Belated Christmas Trees

A little late, perhaps, but these Christmas applets from Atmosferas's Gas Station are neat. David Pereira's contribution is particularly enticing, creating ethereal sketchy sculptures out of even the most half-hearted of doodlings.

I've had great fun making these trees...

Flickr Rainbow II

I updated my Flickr Rainbow applet to use striatic's suggestion of hyperlinks for the thumbnails. I also made a grid view; you should click on the applet background to give it focus, and then hit any key to switch modes.

Update: I made the same thing but much faster. (For those interested in Processing, the speed-up came from abandoning image() and moving to replicate() which is much faster in 2D.) The latest Flickr Rainbow applet is now here.
