simurai:

Where are the trees is an experiment trying to create a Tilt-Shift effect on Text using CSS3.

Once again text-shadow was my best friend. By adding a bigger offset-y and blur-radius to the top and bottom edge, the text appears to have a lens blur that is typical for tilt-shift effects. There is also some rotate, rotateX and skewX to make the text match the perspective of the background image.

American Drink: Rules for My Born Son. And You.

American Drink: Rules for My Born Son. And You. :

1) Be polite and smile your brains out, but let the bartender flirt first. Always provide a number, never ask for one.
2) Decide what you will order on the drive to the bar. Eye contact is key, never wave money to get attention.
3) Vodka and Coke? That better be a joke.
4) If a song is longer…

Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash, in Flash. Big improvement.

(Better: Adobe Flash CS4 crashed twice while I threw this together.)

A fine line

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:25:00 -0600

If a journalist published a detailed enough description of the 4G iPhone to prove that he had held one, yet didn’t reveal how, would Apple sic the space cops on him? I believe Gizmodo crossed a line, but at this point I’d be afraid to be a journalist with real sources inside Apple. Where is that line between brave journalism and stupidity? Is it just the cash involved? Would there even be an issue if Gizmodo had obtained the phone without paying for it? It seems the letter of the law would’ve still been broken, but it would’ve been even more convincing when they say they weren’t sure if it was a fake or not.

“Their responses are like the general public’s in many ways. Most describe the amount they paid in taxes this year as “fair.” Most send their children to public schools. A plurality do not think Sarah Palin is qualified to be president, and, despite their push for smaller government, they think that Social Security and Medicare are worth the cost to taxpayers. They actually are just as likely as Americans as a whole to have returned their census forms, though some conservative leaders have urged a boycott.”

“Now let me be very clear about something: It’s entirely Apple’s call about what’s best for the Mac OS and how to spend their engineering cycles. Like any development team, they have finite resources & need to spend them judiciously. They’ve decided that Carbon 64 doesn’t belong on their roadmap, and we respect their decision. It’s up to Adobe to adapt to the new plan.”

esbueno:

This is Garrett’s second crash report, and sadly for him, but not sadly for me, I hope Photoshop continues to crash and crash and crash on him, if for nothing else than for me to chuckle at his Crash Reports. I’m sorry Garrett, but really, I’m not.

“And besides, who could think of others with us finally alone. I poured a glass of bubbly. I dribbled a handful of rose petals on the corner seat of my couch and rested her upon them. I pressed play on my Barry White Pandora station. I opened Safari and pulled up one of my favorite old blog posts. I leaned in. And yes. I kissed her. And it felt good. Her battery runs cool, but she felt hot in my hands.”

- Too bad Pandora stopped playing when he switched to Safari. Just sayin’. Tweetage Wasteland : I Kissed an iPad and I Liked It
