So, it's the last day of the month-long hackpact that has motivated the almost-daily posts here for the past 30 days. Many have been missed, many have been lame, but it was an enjoyable process and triggered a lot of mini-works that wouldn't have come about otherwise.

The final hack is a relatively grand one, though still a work-in-progress: to celebrate the newfound power of my freshly upgraded computer and its Geforce 9600M GT, a million-particle snowstorm, whipping around the screen at 60fps and gratuitously mapped onto a sphere for good measure. The low framerate Vimeo capture unfortunately doesn't do it justice, but I'm still seeking a more satisfying method of capturing motion graphics from OS X.
