Free-Falling Art Of Li Wei

8, Oct 2009

Chinese artist Li Wei from Beijing started off his performance series ‘Mirroring’ and later on took off attention with his ‘Falls’ series which shows the artist with his head and chest embedded into the ground.

His work is a mixture of performance art and photography that creates illusions of a sometimes dangerous reality. Li Wei states that these images are not computer montages and works with the help of props such as mirror, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics.

Rube Goldberg breakfast machine

5, Oct 2009

Hungry for breakfast? Forget fast food, try following your childhood dreams and build a breakfast machine to make it for you! I’ll do it as soon as I can convince someone to clean it for me; anyone looking for an internship?

The jam rolling unit really caught my eye. What would it take to turn that into a rotary diecutter? I’d love to have toast spelled out in my initials.

Grow your own Pumpkinhead

4, Oct 2009

lrg_pumpkin_face.jpg


This trick actually came in really handy the last time reckless teenagers accidentally killed a member of my family. It takes several months for the pumpkin to grow into the shape of the victim’s face, but, that’s actually sort of useful because it gives you time to cool down and figure out if you really want to go through with the whole vengeance-from-beyond-the-grave thing or not. If you decide against it, you can always use your hellpumpkin as the world’s creepiest Jack-o’-lantern, which is what I ended up doing. It worked out great, at least until those same reckless teenagers kicked it into a pile of goo on my front porch. That’s irony for you! So now I’m growing another one…

Write HTML and CSS quicker with with Zen Coding

21, Sep 2009

A pretty neat plugin for TextMate (and a few other text editors) that I have started using is Zen Coding. I’d heard of it before but didn’t “get it” until I read Jonathan Christopher’s blog post The Art of zen-coding: Bringing Snippets to a New Level.

Jonathan explains very well what you can do with Zen Coding, so I’m not going to get into much detail. One example though. Zen Coding lets you use syntax that looks very much like CSS selectors to write HTML, which can look like this:

  1. div#news.module>div.header+div.body>ul>li#item-$*5

When you put the cursor at the end of that line and execute the Zen Coding command, the result will be the following HTML snippet:

  1. <div id="news" class="module">
  2. <div class="header"></div>
  3. <div class="body">
  4. <ul>
  5. <li id="item-1"></li>
  6. <li id="item-2"></li>
  7. <li id="item-3"></li>
  8. <li id="item-4"></li>
  9. <li id="item-5"></li>
  10. </ul>
  11. </div>
  12. </div>

This is just one quick example of what Zen Coding can do. Try it out for yourself.
