upscale typography » Blog Archive » Drawing with Type

by sbrothier
This is one of the newest apps for the Apple iphone. The concept is very simple. Drawing with letters. The first release came out late May, but the project started back in 2005 as an online project for the web. You simply type a sentence or word and then you start drawing. You may save it, email it or upload it to the typedrawing flickr group. The new 1.2 update goes one step further. Now you can set colors, typeface, text size, and undo & redo. This is the type of application that makes you spend many creative hours with your iphone or ipod touch.

Twitter Vs. Facebook - The Final Round

by macbros
Well, I had the Twitter bug awhile back but the effects seem to have slowly started to wear off of me. I already had a Facebook account, but I rarely ever used it, but as of late I have been on Facebook updating my status every chance I get.

littleBits

by Yann_L & 1 other

littleBits, a growing library of preassembled circuitboards, made easy by tiny magnets!

littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.

Top 7 recession busting deals

by sar420
With tight wallets and tighter budgets, its not a good feeling to sit at home and bemoan the state of the economy and the job losses. We should rather take up the opportunities offered by the recession before its too late!

Now Flickr is hit by Yahoo layoffs | Technology | guardian.co.uk

by karlcow

that George Oates, a high-profile member of the Flickr team and one of the site's early employees, was told that she was being given the chop too. She's recently been in Australia, so the fact that her bad news has arrived a day late could just be a quirk of travelling - but I'm trying to find out if other members of the Flickr team are also being laid off as well. (Update: I'm told two other members of the Flickr team also got laid off.) Oates - who designed Flickr's interface - is highly-regarded, confirming that this round of job cuts is basically arbitrary - but it also marks a bit of a watershed for Yahoo.

Jean PICHÉ

by Emaux
Jean Piché (1951) is a composer who has develloped into a video artist over the past few years. His practice meshes moving images and music in a new hybrid form he calls videomusic. In his beginnings as an electroacoustic composer in the 1970s, he was one of the very first Canadians to employ the then emerging digital audio technologies. He has produced works in every genre of electroacoustics for mixed and acousmatic to live-electronics. His work aims for poetic expression beyond any sort of formalism. The work has been alternately described as confounding, colorful and virtuosistic. He has contributed to the presence and development of Canadian music here and abroad while working at the Canada Council where he defended the legitimacy of many alternative contemporary music practices. This inclusivist approach was highlighted when he directed the Montréal Musiques Actuelle – New Music America festival in 1990. As a teacher at the Université de Montréal since the late 1980s, he has nurtured a number of young into diverse careers in new media and music. He keeps a hand in software development and some of his programs, notably Cecilia, are used by composers the world over.

French Phylloxera Epidemic: Largest Disaster in the History of Wine

by sbrothier
A mysterious blight struck the majority of French grape vines between the late 1850s and the turn of the century, causing enormous damage to the French economy. In the vine districts, wages dropped by half, businesses collapsed, and much of viticulture population emigrated to Algeria and other countries. (1) Vintners used 36,633 tons of sugar to improve the quality and quantity of wine produced in 1888, and imported larger quantities of foreign wines to meet the demand for mixing. The imports were, from Spain, 7,008,000 hectoliters; Italy, 1,082,305 hectoliters; and Algeria, 1,089,000 hectoliters. (2) One hectoliter equals to 100 liters or 26,418 U.S. gallons.

Baguettes: DO try this at home. | King Arthur Flour - Bakers’ Banter

by rax262 (via)
Baguettes. Crusty, golden… unattainable-except-from-an-artisan-bakery baguettes. Not so. And we’re here to prove it to you. The late Prof. Raymond Calvel, France’s acclaimed “godfather of bread,” visited this country and did a “blind” baguette baking, using a variety of American flours to make his signature crusty loaf. The result? King Arthur Flour was Calvel’s choice as being most similar to his beloved French flour.

A Discordian Coloring Book

by borsky
"Many years ago, in the dim era of the late Disco age, a pair of visionary writers, Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, wrote a revelatory series of books known as The Illuminatus Trilogy. (…) Inspired to a madness of creative frenzy by these revelations, your artist seized pencils and drawing pens and embarked on many days and nights of intensive doodling until she had before her the work you can see reproduced here. A Discordian Coloring Book, originally created in 1982, was printed only in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, but now, via the medium of the web it is available for more general viewing. "

Princeton Architectural Press * Book Description

by karlcow

In the late 1980s, Japan was awash in seemingly unlimited wealth and rising toward what would be the peak of its modern economic success, power, and influence. In 1991 the same lethal combination of risky loans, inflated stocks, and real estate speculation that created this "bubble economy" caused it to burst, plunging the country into its worst recession since World War II.
