I haven’t traveled from London to Paris straight, but did oversleep and miss a tour coach along with my roommate this past March (too much exploring/partying I guess, and lack of sleep). We hopped on the Eurostar bullet train to try and catch the rest of the Contiki group at the London Pub, but were 10-minutes late and had to catch the next one =\
AllOrNothingproductions.com present ‘London to Paris’, directed by Grace Ladoja, documents 10 riders from all over the world making the track bike journey from London to Paris to meet Lance Armstrong as the Tour De France 2009 comes to a close. Made in association with Nike Sportswear’s CTRS project, the film’s NYC premiere is set for late October 2009… stages09.com
I have been fortunate to find some nuggets lately this past week. From across the world, I stumbled upon The Very Best. It is a collaboration project between Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit (Johan Karlberg & Etienne Tron).
The sessions are all about great music and the venue strips this to its essense. We aren’t picky about genre and will happily open the cab door to anyone who blows us away…
I heard about it through Tony Hawk’s tweet early this morning. They feature artists such as: Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, The Cool Kids, Lykke Li, and many more great musicians.
I was browsing Hulu trying to see what new shows they have added to their library—when I found this series, My Bare Lady.
Things heat up when four American adult film stars are sent to London’s most prestigious theatrical school to prove they can really act. When the curtain goes up, someone’s going down.
When you think you have seen it all, you are then surprised with “reality” shows like this one. Anyways, here’s the first episode of My Bare Lady[1].
Sweet. Two of my photos got selected to be shown at Photomonth 2008 in London.
photomonth 08 the east london photography festival is the largest photography festival in the UK with over 100 exhibitions and events taking place in more than 60 galleries and spaces and featuring up to 500 photographers. This year there is a photofair in Spitalfields Traders Market and the photo-open and the photomonth seminar are at the Dray Walk Gallery, Old Truman Brewery. Tom Hunter gives the photomonth lecture and the portfolio reviews take place at the Whitechapel. The photomonth workshops will be found at London Metropolitan University and shoot experience conduct a photographic treasure hunt around Spitalfields. photomonth 08 is also linking with Chobi Mela V in Dhaka Bangladesh.
This year, Photomonth has invited the Flickr community under the theme “freedom”. The end result was an open call to the Flickr community to enter their photos to the Freedom 2008 group.
Anyways, here are the ones that were selected:
Photos from the group will be on display at the Dray Walk Gallery (part of The Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in London) between October 29th and November 9th[1]. Please do let me know if you happen to see them. Maybe even try to take a photo with it? haha. Awesome.
An Introduction to OpenType Substitution Features2010/07/03 The Type1 format where 256 characters are assigned to keys on our keyboard, is becoming a thing of the past. We now design and produce OpenType fonts which can consist of thousands of characters — additional ligatures, various figure sets, small caps, stylistic alternates, … — referred to as glyphs. With these many sets of glyphs integrated in a single font, we are faced with the challenge of including definitions instructing the applications we're using when to show which glyph. Simply adding a glyph with a ligature to your font doesn’t mean the program you’re using knows when or how to apply it. Whether you want your typeface to change the sequence of f|f|i into the appropriate ligature or want to use old-style figures instead of tabular, you’ll need to add features to your font — glyph substitution definitions — to make it happen.
In this article we’ll give you a look behind the scenes of OpenType substitution features — a general rather than comprehensive overview as the subject is
Beautiful Photo Stack Gallery with jQuery and CSS3 | Codrops2010/06/28 In this tutorial we are going to create a nice and fresh image gallery. The idea is to show the albums as a slider, and when an album is chosen, we show the images of that album as a beautiful photo stack. In the photo stack view, we can browse through the images by putting the top most image behind all the stack with a slick animation.
We will use jQuery and CSS3 properties for the rotated image effect. We will also use the webkit-box-reflect property in order to mirror the boxes in the album view – check out the demo in Google Chrome or Apple Safari to see this wonderful effect.
We will also use a bit of PHP for getting the images from each album.
