Experiential Typography | One Day Poem Pavilion | Jiyeon Song
by oqdbpo
The results of an extensive exploration with shadows, the One Day Poem Pavilion demonstrates the poetic, transitory, site-sensitive and time-based nature of light and shadow.
Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion’s surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which–during specific times of the year–transform into the legible text of a poem. The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice. The time-based nature of the poem–and the visitor’s time-based encounters with it–allow viewers to have different experiences either seeing a stanza of the poem or getting the whole poem. All of these possible experiences are equally valuable and have meanings unique to the individual. This technique has the potential for producing particular effects and meanings within an architectural environment. Without the use of a source of power other than the sun, this project uses light and shadow to push the boundaries of communication and experiential delight.
John Resig - Processing.js

As a sort-of reverse birthday present I've decided to release one of my largest projects, in recent memory. This is the project that I've been alluding to for quite some time now:
I've ported the Processing visualization language to JavaScript, using the Canvas element.
I've been working on this project, off-and-on now, for the past 7 months - it's been a fun, and quite rewarding, challenge. The full scope of the project can be broken down into two portions:

I've got a deep passion in everything about Type Design and Typography, so my final degree project at Politecnico di Milano was named lazydog. What about lazydog? Take a look at lazydog website.

Please don't ask me to increase the size of your logo, it's not an extension of your penis. Please don't ask me to set a text in Arial, Comic Sans or Times New Roman: I'm definitelly not interested on it.

OpenXML/ODF Translator Add-ins for Office
by camel
& 1 other
(via)
The goal for this project is to provide translators to allow for interoperability between applications based on ODF (OpenDocument) 1.0 standards and Microsoft OpenXML based Office applications. As a part of this interoperability initiative, add-ins are being developed that can be installed on top of Microsoft Office Word (document processing), Excel (spreadsheet) and PowerPoint (presentation) applications (Office 2007 / 2003 / XP version) to allow for opening and saving OpenDocument format / ODF files (.odt, .ods and .odp) that adheres to ODF 1.0 specifications. We also provide command line translator utilities that allow doing batch conversions.
The converter is based on XSL transformations between two XML formats, along with some pre- and post-processing to manage the packaging (zip / unzip), schema incompatibility processings and the integration into Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. We chose to use an Open Source development model that allows developers from all around the world to participate & contribute to the project.
Along with the Add-ins for Microsoft Word (v1.0 released), Excel (under development) and PowerPoint (under development), we also provide a command line translator that allows doing batch conversions. These translators can also be run on the server side for certain scenarios.

Project
"Ten Thousand Cents" はアメリカ合衆国１００ドル札紙幣の再描写プロジェクトです。独自で開発したオンライン描画ツールを用い、１万個に分割された１００ドル紙幣をもとにプロジェクト全体の目的を知らされていない匿名の１万人によって再描写されました。Amazon Mechanical Turkを通じ、参加者にはひとつの描画に対しそれぞれの１セントが労働報酬として支払われ、この１万人による１００ドル紙幣の再描写全体にはそれと等価の１万セント（１００ドル）が費やされました。また再描写された１００ドル紙幣絵画はウェブサイト上で投資された資本と同額の１００ドルで販売されています。またこのプロジェクトは映像作品として、それぞれの参加者の描画データをリアルタイムで再現し、１００ドル紙幣が１万人によってどのように描かれたのかをアニメーションを用いて表現しています。"Ten Thousand Cents"はプロジェクト全体を通じ、私たちが住む現代社会において潜在的に普遍的価値として認識されている「労働」、特にデジタル市場におけるその価値の変容、バーチャルエコノミー、デジタル技術における著作権等の諸問題の再思考を促します。

scalr - Google Code
by camel
Scalr is a fully redundant, self-curing and self-scaling hosting environment utilizing Amazon's EC2.
It allows you to create server farms through a web-based interface using prebuilt AMI's for load balancers (pound or nginx), app servers (apache, others), databases (mysql master-slave, others), and a generic AMI to build on top of.
The health of the farm is continuously monitored and maintained. When the Load Average on a type of node goes above a configurable threshold a new node is inserted into the farm to spread the load and the cluster is reconfigured. When a node crashes a new machine of that type is inserted into the farm to replace it.
4 AMI's are provided for load balancers, mysql databases, application servers, and a generic base image to customize. Scalr allows you to further customize each image, bundle the image and use that for future nodes that are inserted into the farm. You can make changes to one machine and use that for a specific type of node. New machines of this type will be brought online to meet current levels and the old machines are terminated one by one.
The project is still very young, but we're hoping that by open sourcing it the AWS development community can turn this into a robust hosting platform and give users an alternative to the current fee based services available.

APNG - the animated PNG

Welcome to the APNG Project!
In late 2007, PHUG, an open source community had the opportunity to meet Andrew Smith one of the key developers of APNG. Eager to get involved and expand on the open source community, PHUG placed it's initiative into the contribution of the APNG open source project. Our goal is to educate both open source commercial developers and designers on the beneficial aspects of using the APNG specification. As this project evolves, we hope to expand and build on the ever growing open source community, with designers and developers devoted to producing APNGs, tutorials, workshops, and more. Our hopes are to eventually incorporate APNGs into much more than banners and ads, such as menu alternatives!
