 '''Composite images of faces''': This page details a service that Randall provided, in which he utilized photoshop and an "image morphing program" to create composite images of people's faces. Composite images, as the name suggests, are images which are formed of multiple separate images. The final products shown by Randall on the page are actually quite skillful, although the earlier ones do have some serious artifacting.

 {{w|RoboWar}} is a strategy-based video game where one must code a virtual robot to eliminate all others and be the last one standing. The game hosted regular competitions until mid-2003, at which point the player base began to die out. Evidently, RoboWar made a temporary return in 2005, which Randall was celebrating. He also provided a link to the official version of the game which supported {{w|Windows (operating system)|Windows}}.
