Equal parts art, American history, cultural anthropology, and human narrative—The Oxford Project is at once personal and universal, surprising and predictable, simple and profound.

Un scandale luxembourgeois

by marco
Vous venez dans une fiduciaire au Luxembourg. Vous créez une société où votre nom n’apparaît pas, les parts sont aux porteurs. Cette société facture votre société française, ce qui vous absorbe les bénéfices sans que vous apparaissiez aux yeux du fisc français. Ensuite, pour ne pas payer trop d’impôts au Luxembourg, vous épongez les bénéfices de votre société luxembourgeoise par un offshore au Panama où votre nom n’apparaît nulle part. Au final, vous récupérez votre argent avec une simple carte bleue, partout dans le monde… Sauf qu’au passage, il faut bien que le fisc luxembourgeois ferme un peu les yeux. C’est ça les 'ruling'

Rails vs Grails vs Django models - Peter Krantz

by karlcow

in Rails, parts of the model design is actually stored in the database schema instead of in the Ruby code. I have started adding comments in the Rails model classes to be able to remember what properties they have without peeking in the Db. Typically I have a number of half-baked projects on my laptop and from time to time I forget what they do and these comments help me remember.

Marshall Alexander - Paper Engineer

by sbrothier & 4 others
I am a Dutch paper engineer, based in Arnhem, and my work mainly focuses on the creation of papertoys. I either create completely new characters from scratch or I transform existing characters into papermodels. My speciality is one-piece papertoys, models that consist of a single flat piece of paper, which by intricate folding is transformed into a 3-dimensional model. I also create more complex templates consisting of several parts that are glued together to construct the final model. I've have done commissioned work for the toy industry, for promotional purposes and for books and magazines. Growing up in the seventies and eighties, my personal work is heavily inspired by retro design, videogames, movies, bright plastic toys and TV cartoons. Most of this work can be downloaded for free from my site. So get your knives and glue out, download some of the models and start building. Enjoy!
