(Video)
This video is so totally rad. The sporadic but regular booms happening out-of-sight while our heros strap together their contribution to the mayhem. The confident strut to one of the designated boom areas. The anticipation as our man waits his boom turn. And then….
I’ve embedded it below if you want. Background info available at the AskMeFi thread from whence this came.
NETTUTS has an extremely thorough, step-by-step video tutorial that covers slicing a site design in Photoshop, coding the HTML, creating the CSS and then (briefly) adding a touch of Javascript.
I make this recommendation with a bit of hesitance though, as the total running time is a bit over 90 minutes. I actually skipped the last third or so of the first video (slicing the PSD). But there is something strangely mesmerizing about watching someone else progress through their work like this. It’s also interesting for me to see someone else’s work flow and tools use.
The presenter/author, Jeffrey Way, states that the tutorial is for beginners, but I’d say that it edges closer to the intermediate level. The CSS section, though long, progresses pretty quickly. You have to already be pretty familiar with the selectors syntax. And he moves right past terms like “inline” and “block”.
If you’ve got the time and the inclination, it’s an excellent howto for that area of web work.
I went to YouTube to see if a friend of mine had added any new home movies. Nothing new was there, but a couple of clicks later and I was watching this video of Josh Dirksen. There are just too many things about it that I find so delightful.
Snowboarding is one of my absolute favorite things to do (living in the deep south, though, makes it an extreme rarity). The music is groovy with a french flavor. The sound of the boards slicing through the powder is soothing. The occasional name display is a nice touch as well. And clocking in at just over a minute makes it the perfect quick pick-me-up.
Happy August Everyone!

One thing Christmas brought this year was an iPod (nano), and as a consequence I have spent a little time in iTunes, specifically looking for stuff my seven year old daughter could enjoy. Free stuff. Low-and-behold (is it hyphenated like that?), They Might Be Giants have a podcast promoting their upcoming children’s CD, Here Come The 123s
The first time I watched this, I convulsed with laughter, and after multiple viewings, it still holds up. It’s brought to you by the same guy responsible for the “Shreds” series.
UPDATE: Shred No More
