qbNYCers selling your monitor? Mar 27, 12, 4:26 p.m.

I was browsing J&R, newegg, etc. for a new monitor and figured I'd put this out there in case anyone local wants to unload since we'd likely have the same needs...

>23"
>1920x1280
$200-300ish used

The bigger the better...
IPS or SPLS preferred... (how's the tint issue?)

Looking at the Samsung SyncMaster, maybe a Dell or something too... don't really care as long as the panel is good.

If you're not selling a monitor but have recommendations I'll take those too...

SVG or canvas? Jan 3, 12, 12:13 a.m.

So I'm getting back into the game a little bit and I want to utilize all that fancy web spice I have in the cupboard...

Say I have a bunch of hi-res items and want to serve up a couple at a time at various resolutions depending on what they're being used for– canvas or SVG? It sounds like canvas is more versatile, but performance wise is it gonna bite me in the ass if I have a multi-layered CAD drawing that's been converted to one or the other? Most of the info I can find on this stuff is pretty old, so if anyone's lazy and and can link to a good summary I'll take that too.

"And some schools are turning to more unconventional means, such as Pacific Hills School in West Hollywood’s recent threat to turn up the lights and play Burt Bacharach if students started to grind, according to the Los Angeles Times."

Alright I need a little help here since I've been mucking around with all the wrong things for too long already... This is what I want to do:

http://www.bourakis.com.au/galle…

It's a shitty example but it's all I found since I can't remember any good examples. Things I want to do differently from that live example though is 1) I don't want the overflow hidden, i.e. I want the images to simply run off the side of the page and 2) I'd also like to lower the opacity for images not in the main view.

I know this should be easy, and I've got jquery, but I'd really appreciate some help while I'm still sane enough to understand it.

A watch like... May 3, 10, 11:59 a.m.

Max Bill's designs for Junghans...

The top one is my favorite but the cheapest I can find either is around $700. Any ideas for similar watches? I'm looking for something automatic, very simple construction, the more low key the better. I do not like to see the date, metal bands, any more than a primary dial, etc. Any leads would be nice, new or even just pics of random watches. I'll likely be taking any pics I can find to a few people to keep their eyes out in order to sell me something similar.

Large window display Q. Apr 8, 10, 4:17 p.m.

Say there's a glass wall, approximately 20' x 9'. First of all, what would be a good DPI for a photographic background (not a lot of detail is necessary) and text, primarily to be seen from about 15' back? Second, aside from simply printing on clear vinyl, what would I have to do so that people on the other side would see right through it (think window wraps on commuter buses)?
