The big squeeze: JPEG to jpeg to jpge to jphzepxpg

David Elliott has an interesting video that demonstrates just how lossy the JPEG format really is. The UCLA MFA candidate chose an image and saved it repeatedly -- 600 times, to be exact -- ratcheting up the compression each time. He's posted the results as a 20-second clip on Vimeo. Very cool; check it out. (HT Laughing Squid)
