For those who are familiar with the term Secured Kernel or Hardened OS, you would agree with me if i said my site is a Hardened Website. haha…
Is your website hardened? hee…
The kissing game
pearl: okay i’m going school now, bye.
*pearl pouts her juicy lips towards nick*
*nick stretches out his arms and gives pearl a big hug while avoiding a possible waxy pair of lips*
*pearl smacks a nice print on nick where ever she can land one and leaves with a psychotic laughter*
This is close to a daily scenario. The weird feeling of coloured wax on my lips is just so strange, worst when it smudges across the lips or if it ends up as decoration on my face without me knowing. I think lipsticks are anti-guy.
PrayStation
For those who call themselves designers and don’t know PrayStation you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I’m just suprised i did not add it to my inspiration links earlier, anyway its there now.
Does anyone know if we can use the “generated” designs? I could not find any copyright information on the site.
Fresh Styles, Generative Design
Yesterday, went to the bookshop with Pearl while we were in the city. We spent close to 2 hours in there and I found 2 books, which were really interesting, and I so so so must share it.
Fresh Styles for Web Designers: Eye Candy from the Underground
Author: Curt Cloninger
ISBN: 0735710740
In a light and friendly voice, the author introduces the reader to new ways of styling websites. With specific examples for each of ten categories, he provides a wealth of techniques for the designer who wishes to apply these approaches in their own work. The styles are broken down into ten categories, which are:
- Gothic Organic
- Wireframe Icon
- Lo-fi Grunge
- Paper Bag
- Mondrian Poster
- Pixelated Punk Rock
- 1950s Hello Kitty
- HTMinimaLism
- DraftingTable/Instruction Manual
- Super Tiny SimCity
Further explorations in the book help designers determine which style choices would be most appropriate when changing the look of their own sites.
Authors: Golan Levin, Adrian Ward, lia, meta
ISBN: 1-903450-47-0
Tools can control as well as serve. Across the web, pioneering artists and designers are recognising the exhilarating freedom and unparalleled control offered by programming. The 4×4 Project invited four influential and respected artists renowned for their stunning experiments with code and art, to work together on the theme of Life and Oblivion.
- Golan Levin – creator of www.flong.com
- Adrian Ward – creator of www.auto-illustrator.com and www.slub.org
- lia – creator of www.turux.org and www.re-move.org
- meta – creator of www.meta.am
4×4 Generative Design requires no prior knowledge of programming, only an appetite to control your own creativity. The four authors provide the inspiration and information to allow you to create and to generate using different programming languages including: Java, DBN, Auto-Illustrator, Lingo, MAX and Nato. The point is not to follow or to replicate but to mutate, transform, hack and move on.
Angel eyes
Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The laugh and the drinks on me
Try to think that love’s not around
Still it’s uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain’t gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain’t hereAngel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love’s mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonightSo drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on mePardon me but I got to run
The fact’s uncommonly clear
I got to find who’s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t hereExcuse me while I disappear
