a picture is worth a thousand words

Playing with… Einstein

I made a little modification to my program by adding the possibility of randomly pre-inserting some words… the target is to create some kind of  “word search” game.

In this example you have to find numbers form 0 to 9.

(I apologize because the number 1 is almost identical to lowercase letter L. You will need this clue: the 1 is touching the 6.)

    […] 还记得下面这幅爱因斯坦吗？原图在这里。我们第一期煎蛋TEE里面有一件就是这个图案。当时我从 deviantART 看到它时很震惊，就联系到作者 Juan Osborne，象征性付了$50购买了这幅图来印TEE。 […]

    Dear There,

    I’d love to have the software that you are using for creating pictures.

    is it possible?

    I’ll use it for personal and non-commercial use only.

    Or, can I buy it? Thanks

      Hi Travis,

      My program does not have a ‘commercial shell’, it’s more like a pure code with a hundred of variables. I’m not planning selling it in the near future.

      But you can order me, or make a suggestion that catches my interest.

      I’m still looking the way to make this part of my professional carrier, so
      at this moment I’m quite flexible… just ask me whatever, we can
      talk…

      Send me an email juanosborne@gmail.com

    Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

    Hi Juan,

    I really loved your image of Einstein. I was just wondering whether you’d by okay with my posting it on my own blog: http://thefollyofhumanconceits.wordpress.com/. I would, of course, attribute the work to you, and link back to this site.

    Thanks, anyway.

    Hi, again

    I’m sorry, I just noticed the line at the bottom of this site that says all your free works are under the Creative Commons License. I think that pretty much answers the question I had in my last comment here, and that I am not prohibited from reposting the image, given that I attribute credit for the work to you. Please let me know if I am wrong in making this conclusion.

    Thanks again,
