Scientists once decried my knowledge of mammoths as “very, very poor”. In fact, my entire knowledge of mammoths could be distilled down to a few simple bullet points:

They can be used as vacuum cleaners
They can be used as showers
They are pretty much not around anymore

Fortunately, this all changed when I had the privilege of helping some Barbarians on a project for the wonderful people at the San Diego Zoo. The Zoo has a brand new exhibit called Elephant Odyssey that teaches visitors about Asian elephants and their prehistoric ancestors, Columbian mammoths.

Good news everyone.

We drink a lot and sometimes that happens at bars. While at these bars, we often play a game called Photo Hunt. It’s a game in which drunkards try to find five differences in two (somewhat) identical photos while drinking and spending too much money. It looks like this:

Based on that bit of computer entertainment, we made this sweeeeeeet game. It’s for Photoshop Express and it’s called Identifive.
