I put a lot of effort into my job, and at some level, it's a creative outlet. Still, I sometimes want to put my into little side projects.

I've got a bit of nostalgia for cursor-position-based programs, software like xeyes, Jewel Thief, and Neko the Cat.

Anyway, Alex was in town last week (securing an apartment before moving out), and I was chatting about it with him. Last night, I had a few free hours and just coded it up. I made the first part, but I need more help.

First, click through:


Might not work in IE. I'll fix it later.

I want to make a bigger art project out of this, so I'd like to get more people on Flickr to take eye-tracking photos of themselves and combine them into one big cool page. I put up a page with the instructions. Anything is fine — snapping the photos with your phone is plenty fine.

Thanks for your help.
