Coplan's World

Outland has always been the name that I have given to my computer, which has always been my creative escape. The name aptly describes my interests and hobbies, which have little relation to each other. This website is about my hobbies and about my interests and what I choose to share with the world.

My name is D. Travis North, but you can call me Coplan. And welcome to my world.

Homemade Rollercoaster

Features | Submitted by coplan: June 20, 2008 - 11:55 AM

Pretty interesting video at Dig Your Own Grave about a man who built his own roller coaster in his back yard. It's not the Great American Scream Machine, but it's pretty cool. I'd ride on it.

Bomomo - Painting tool

Tips and Tools | Submitted by coplan: June 09, 2008 - 12:04 AM

Not really a tool, per se, but I'm not exactly sure where I should categorize this. This is a fun little painting tool for creating abstract works. Jackson Pollock, you got nothing on Bomomo (okay, maybe you do...but you're crazy).

Have fun painting: Bomomo

The Several Journeys of Reemus

Games | Submitted by coplan: May 28, 2008 - 12:20 PM

This is a multi-stage puzzle game. The puzzles are pretty challenging, requiring several steps. I spent 10 minutes on the first one alone. But then again, I'm dumb.

Fun game where you control a ball in mid air to try to control it's trajectory. It's a level/puzzle game. Lots of fun.

Mentos in Coke Record Breaker

Humor | Submitted by coplan: May 20, 2008 - 11:46 AM

Ever seen that trick where you drop Mentos mints in Coke? The Coke fizzes up and shoots a stream straight up into the air. Believe it or not, there's actually a record for the amount of simultaneous Mentos/Coke fountains. It was just broken again: 1,500 students donning rain gear launched an equal number of mentos/coke fountains.

View the pictorial.
