Paintnite fun

paint nite fun - https://flic.kr/p/n2SoNg

I created this painting today at Paintnite at the office pub in downtown toronto. It was great painting, eating and talking with the people there. I went with my wife sort of our art date. They provide the equipment so you don't have to worry. It was lively environment and like you would in a art class minus the exam pressure and plus the great food. Definitely recommend it for anyone one who wants dinner and paint instead of the old dinner and movie night.

They have this at various location and check out they even have a 45% off coupon on their website. http://www.paintnite.com/i/drink-creatively?gclid=COuQyNCc3L0CFexcMgodGg8AgA

Macro Feature Rediscovered

I was playing around with the camera yesterday and re-discovered the macro option on my Canon Power Shot SD550. I got some quite unexpected results. You never know what you will get when you get up close to something. Like my biology class when I entered high school playing with the microscope was fun.

Some interesting things I discover from the naked eye flowers look great but some of the flowers in the slideshow you will see the flowers have some sort  of damage due to time, insects and weather.

Since I am using macro feature of the camera it gives of some times the effect of tilt shift for some picture which is cool. (more information on tilt shift check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography). The photography here is mostly macro photography which takes picture of small objects as opposed to tilt shift which is basically taking picture of large landscapes creating a illusion of small. for more information on Macro photography check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_photography. Anyways enjoy

Whiteboard Creative Mess

So here I have my latest creation. The entire drawing was done between December 2009 and last week. Each time I passed the whiteboard in the office I added a stick figure. slowly it built up to something interesting. Enjoy the Flickr slideshow.

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.

Screenshot 1

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.

My official start to flickr and my art work. I will post more information for people to see and use for Creative commons use. I used harmony tool from http://mrdoob.com/ from the web while. You can try using it from the web today from http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ it does require HTML 5 enabled web browser. I think HTML 5 brings awesomeness to web in a whole new way in which we are just beginning to see a small peek. I can't wait to see what people will come up with.
