Golan Levin's Axis Applet can tell you what any three countries have in common, in "Axis of Evil" parody form. (via Leuschke)

It's part of CODeDOC, a commisioned project by the Whitney Artport. Artists were asked to write a program on the theme of "three points" with under 8K of source code. It's a good thing they try to focus on the source itself: I had to read it to figure out how to exit Camille Utterback's piece.

I've just now noticed that my TreeFold applet got linked to on Metafilter last week:
