Difficulty : Very Easy
Time Req : About 10 minutes.
Quite the long title huh. If you don’t know what I mean by “Futuristic Interface Sprites” then I suggest checking out the example image to the right. I, myself, could not come up with a better name for it because for one I have no idea what it would be called in the first place. If someone knows, let me know please.

Time Requirement : About 10 minutes (if you get it right the first time).
Another one here for you guys. I’ve used this method to create some abstract logos time and time again. You will never get the same result twice unless you are made of magic in which case you wouldn’t be watching these ridiculous videos would you…?
Be sure to check out the example I have created to the right.

This kind of thing is something you will use for a long time, has many uses and applications and like I said; very easy to remember.

Get into any gated apartment complex.
by amp on Oct.04, 2009, under Pro Tips
There’s a simple trick someone taught me about a year ago that I never knew.
If you go to a friends apartment and they didn’t tell you about the gate and the code to open the gate, just press…
4444
That’s right. Just press “4″, four times and the gate should open.
Why is this in place? No idea. Someone mentioned maybe it was for the drunks that get home at 3am and can’t remember how to get in but I have trouble believing that as well.
Next time you’re at a gate, try it.
Special note : This has worked on every gate i’ve tried; including, I guess you could say, “high security” apartment complexes. Of course, I don’t recommend trying this if there is a posted guard 24/7 although I don’t think they would have a gate and code if they had the guard.
