Amazing !

I’m a huge fan of DWR’s website, it changes religiously every week. Has a very strong and reliable grid and yet has a new feel constantly. I think it’s a great example of how a front page of an ecommerce site should be done. I’m looking forward to the 2009 screentrawl of their work.

Hero Squad

An amazing idea from Adam Ribaudo (he of sevenup live for the monome). Pick a location, the game places 3 bases randomly on streets, start placing turrets to defend those bases. The alien robot’s will follow the roads (and seem to favor main streets), so look for pincer points and cross fire opportunities. Don’t forget you can sell turrets if they are not serving a purpose, or upgrade them for longer range.

The real world locations, make the game so much more fun and engaging.

This is just a proof of concept, so expect bugs, crashes and general mayhem.

One of the best things I’ve seen online for a long time - HUGE potential.

Actually amazingly informational and factually correct. Found whilst looking for audio clips I can add to my new music tracks. Many thanks for Prelinger Foundation.

A large part of me, will always want to be in Swithland on Boxing Day. To anyone who can get to a small country pub, sit by a fire, drink hand pulled beer and then watch Morris Dancers, I wish you one and all and Happy Boxing Day !

i wish I’d had time to put together some sort of monome remix. I spent a couple of hours the other night trying something out on the arduinome, but I couldn’t find a decent way to save the audio and didn’t really have time to finish it off.

So in lieu of something I made, here is smashtron3000’s awesome B.I.G remix of Jingle all the Way.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year !

Gotta love the confidence that you know your demographic that well.

Apologies for the begging post, I’ve been using the awesome script from Paul Hammond that allows you to take screen shots using a non visible webkit (including the flash content).

I’m using this for a weekly trawl of a series of ecommerce sites, so I can build a reference source for ecommerce design over a period of time. I figured it would be helpful to people who want “how has J Crew changed over the last 6 months”.

The first two weeks are already up…

Now the script is amazing, it does 99% of what I need and for that I am very greatful to Paul. The 1% issue I have is that it takes the screen shot once all the content has loaded, which means that pages that contain Flash that needs to load further, it’s not getting that content, you just get a shot of the preloader.

I’ve been trying to find a way to delay the screen capture by 10 or 20 seconds. But my amateurish attempts have failed. I add the time package, and slotted in time.wait(10) in a few places, and although it is slowing the script down, it’s not doing the pause between web page being called and screen shot been taken.

Can anyone help with this. I just need to know what code to add to add that functionality.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Awesome public service announcement, apparently covering the topic of Japanese food supply issues. I’ve always loved this style ever since the Royskopp music video.
