I came across some work by Simon Page after rooting around Dropular but when I saw these posters I was absolutely blown away. Simon started out doing these posters as a personal project but when the International Year of Astronomy folks saw them the decided to use them as promotional pieces.
French journalists working on Web documentary Charlotte Burrous / The Daily Record Visiting Fremont County was more than what they ever dreamed about. It went so well they have decided to come back this fall to complete the Web documentary, which is supported by the National Centre du Cinema in Paris. Traveling from France, journalist David Dufresne and photographer Philippe Brault arrived recently to create a Web documentary on society and the culture of the people who live in the prisons and around them in Fremont County.
French filmmakers focus on prison industry in Fremont County. Charlotte Burrous / The Daily Record Reading an article in a French newspaper about Cañon City in the 1990s captured their imagination. But they had to put it on the backburner until recently when David Dufresne and Philippe Brault decided the time had arrived.
I bought a USB webcam off of eBay quite some time ago, and I decided to connect it to my telescope with a little bit of hardware hackery. I'll have to see about posting a writeup on how I did that at a later time. Anyway, when I installed my camera software, I quickly found how horrible the program was. It gave a tiny preview of what the camera saw, and had no way of capturing images or video without waaaay too many clicks of the mouse. That's when I decided to write my own in Python.
This week the biggest dust storm in 70 years blew through Australia, and the photos of it were stunning. So on Wednesday at noon, I decided to make a photo magazine. It was published on MagCloud Thursday night. All told, it was 31.5 hours from idea to publication, and that’s with a few hours of sleep thrown in.
When a young New York necktie designer named Thomas Paul Fernez decided to try his hand at home textiles and housewares, he was really onto something. His inspired sense of contrast in both color and proportion began to define a signature Thomas Paul style, reinterpreting classic fine china motifs for modern sensibilities.
There are loads of bandstands in parks across London, and most of them are looking fairly tattered from lack of use. When did you last see/hear one surrounded by hordes excited by the sounds? ...well we hadn't so we decided to do what we could to change that, to fill the parks once more (at least for a wee while every couple of weeks) with some talented people capable of carrying a tune or two.
Once again, I wasn't satisifed with most of the gallery scripts out there. So I decided to build my own.
UK Street Art made the journey to Bristol and we were blown away so much by the exhibition that we decided to pop up our own microsite dedicated to such a fantastic artist. You can find articles, videos and a near complete photo gallery of the exhibition. This one will go down in history...

one year on foot - 4646km through China
unlimited beard & hair growth

musical score by the kingpins ( myspace.com/theoneandonlykingpins ) and zhu fengbo
Additional info:
- I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now.
- All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things.
- I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful.
- Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues.
- The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think.
- This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting.
- The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.
The basic answer to your question is that the people who run the net, all umpteen million of us, have collectively decided that it's cheaper to live with the damage that criminals cause than to deal with the problems that let them do it. Change that attitude, then we can talk.
printf("Olá mundo ;-]"); Default como o céu azul. We are Fedora! 26 de julho de 2009 In FISL 10, some friends been created a slogan “We are Fedora!” and did one fool video and I decided make a twibbon with the Fedora Logo [1] with the slogan. [1]http://twibbon.com/join/We-are-Fedora For those who do not know, twibbon is a service that use’s twitter api for plus to your twitter avatar some image for the purpose of disseminate a campaing as the end of ie6 or end of microsoft. So, see with own eyes, support “We are Fedora!” and make, if you want, their own campaigns. Have fun
Fyzz parses the SPARQL query and generates something we decided to call an AST although it's still a bit rough for now. Fyzz understands simple triples, distincts, limits, offsets and other basic functionalities.
The Regional Assembly of Text was opened in late August of 2005 by the two of us, Rebecca Dolen & Brandy Fedoruk. While attending the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, we collaborated on a number of projects and curated a series of book shows together.
After graduating in 2003 we decided to put our minds & hands to work. The result of which, was our very own little store. Focusing on text as a theme, the store features many lovely things designed and built by us.
Never knowing when a strike of inspiration will cause me to work until late at night (or early in to the morning), I always wanted an application that could tell me where I could grab a cup of coffee or bite to eat where I was, when I was looking, be it 1pm or 1am. So, I decided to write such an application, with the Google Gears Geo-Location API to determine location, geolocation to search for nearby businesses, and Google Maps for easy visualization.
While we recognize the value of the XHTML 2 Working Group's contributions over the years, after discussion with the participants, W3C management has decided to allow the Working Group's charter to expire at the end of 2009 and not to renew it.
The SFMoMA is all about creating a space for modern art to live. But there's also a meta-layer to the art experience that comes from the aesthetic and conceptual life of the space itself – the colors, the architecture, the little design touches. These elements contribute to our experience of the art inside, but often operate below our cognitive awareness. I decided to bring one of those meta-elements to the forefront of attention – the typography used inside the museum, on anything from exhibition signage to elevator buttons to restroom signs.
Lately I had same crazy thoughts on coding a javascript wrapper to manipulate images rendered on the server-side. I decided to do some test which eventually resulted in phototype, a client/server-side library, based on prototype, which supports all kinds of image manipulations. On the serverside the library is powered by combination of PHP/GD that renders the image. With phototype, you are able to rotate, resize, flip and do some other cool effects to images. Let's start a quick tour.
TDD Anti-Patterns, and decided to first quickly jot down some of the most common ones that others or myself have encountered “in the wild.”
As you may know, Apple added Flickr uploading to iPhoto ‘09. As you may guess, I was a little perturbed at this since I pay my mortgage by selling, er, a Flickr upload plugin for iPhoto. I acquired my copy of iLife ‘09 yesterday and decided to dive deep on how Apple have implemented Flickr integration in iPhoto ‘09. Here are the results of my investigation. Be aware as you read that this is the result of a morning’s click-around investigation and not months of serious use. I will do my best to give an honest assessment of what is in iPhoto ‘09, and you’ve already read my full disclosure in the previous paragraph.
I've been experimenting with some javascript classes that mimic the structure of mapnik's Layer/Style/Rule classes and render OSM data (via GeoJSON) to a <canvas> element. I've also finally taken a look at how github works, so I've decided to share the initial code there in case people are interested. If you don't want to check the code out for yourself there's a demo page here (tested in Firefox and Safari only, so far).
You have probably seen these forms of advertisings where you can peel a corner of a website and see a message underneath. It seems most are flash driven, but I decided to try it out using some simple lines of jQuery.
When I began this blog, I had the idea that it would be an integral part of my critical and reflective technical practice. For the past three years, it has served admirably, providing an easy way to share ideas and code and putting me in touch with a wide range of colleagues and new friends. During that time I've tried to stay true to the promise of "hacks," even if I pushed the boundaries of both "digital" and "history". As my technical work has evolved, however, I've begun to feel like this blog is less and less suited to my day-to-day activities. Rather than try and force it to fit, I've decided to build something new.
I drink good coffee every morning. Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide, so I have decided to make and show you how to create incredibly realistic coffee smoke effect. Using this very advanced and realistic effect, you will see how to draw smoke shape, how to animate it, how to convert it into a Movie Clip Symbol, how to apply alpha effect on it and much more. You don't have to use action script code to make this lesson. Let's go!
documentation first.Instead of just banging out code, I decided to write the documentation and the list of supported features FIRST.
