HTML5 Application Harmony


People are now hearing about this HTML5. It said to be the next big thing on the web that will wow the people. well I have been wowed by a simple application Harmony at found at http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/. It is build purely on JavaScript and HTML5 so it work with Firefox and chrome fine. When you first go to the page it it has a blank white page with menu or control box on the top.

As you see the screen shot above not very impressive or wow like. Now try using it and you will be see something amazing things the brush does.  As I started using I was wondering what I can do with this so I ended creating some graphics. I could see this with a few more features becoming a huge thing. For example layers, blending, eraser tool, options to save file in more formats and obviously a lot more brushes or pens.

Since the code it under the MIT license which by the way is another open source license developed by MIT you can look at the license here if interested in it at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php. now how to get the source code click on about and there is a link for source code right there. Download it and you will be able to to use it like a desktop app if you wanted to or develop more options for it. I would like to think that this will develop to something awesome and powerful.

Daffodil Experiment Fail

Yup it failed next day most of the flowers died. Now they should not have died. Now the Ehow page suggests that lime soda should work. So should any other pop drink but less time but what I did not take into account was you also need room temperature pop and not out of the fridge cold pop. so that cold killed it. I think I will try this experiment at home people in the office keep on saying "...hey did you fertilize those flowers with naturally?". To be honest it did look like that.
