Douglas Adams on Misanthropes. July 7, 2015. My favorite quotation is from the second book, though there are plenty from the first in the series that I love as well. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe begins with a little introduction… I’ll admit, when I first read the quotation I knew it was exceptional but couldn’t quite pin down it’s complete eloquence. It’s in the image above but just in case you can’t see it:. This entry was posted in Personal. Both comments and trackbacks are currently closed.

Project 1 – Snap.svg. April 12, 2014. Recently, I further investigated the power of SVGs. If you do not know what scalable vector graphics are, Wikipedia. Is a good start: additionally, if you are a developer check out W3School’s tutorial. Now, vectors are amazing but they can be extremely complicated to write by hand. And that’s why we have programs for it like Adobe Illustrator. But in terms of manipulating svg’s in the browser, Snap.svg. Here is the demo. First, I store all the information necessary:.

But first, coffee. April 26, 2014. I love coffee. It is absolutely one of my favorite things. It has a very complex flavor and there are so many great ways to use it. It changes depending on how you roast it, grind it, or brew it. If you treat it poorly, it will disappoint you. Coffee has been tried in every fashion… I mean people even drink coffee that has already been digested. And it’s the most expensive kind! Be paired with anything? Has got the right idea, and so does the Starbucks Instagram. I love...

PixelFlow – an image pixelating filter jQuery plugin using canvas. May 16, 2015. PixelFlow follows a common jQuery plugin pattern whereby, $().PixelFlow([options]) is a base and if you want to call a specific function, this is passed as the first argument. Example:. The initial project was limited in goal so there are few options but it is built for more expansion. 47;/set up default options var pluginName = PixelFlow , defaults = { resolution : 16, offsetX : 0, offsetY : 0 };. 8211; simple but necessary.

Project 2 – CSS only interactive widget. April 13, 2014. While powerful for generating dynamic spaces, large script files can become cumbersome for a browser and animations can be taxing on the CPU without using acceleration plugins like those created by GreenSock. However, then you are just bringing in more code for the browser to render. Additionally, many people doubt or are ignorant, myself included, of the full arsenal of CSS selectors. Therefore, in the spirit of the KISS principle. The tilde is un...
