html5 browser slidshow Nov 16, 10, 7:02 a.m.

I found this from a blog I thought the web designer here might care (in case you haven't seen it).

i like it's potential. Mind you I don't understand this stuff but considering you don't have to use flash i think is huge.

I think it works best on OS snow leopard.
use you arrow keys to navigate.

expanding Patterns in AI May 31, 10, 12:37 p.m.

I have a series of angular geometric shapes filled with a pattern I created that I want to expand, essentially converting them to vector objects.

I found a tutorial that says I should expand, then ungroup and then from pathfinder divide them.

But I end up with the pattern continuing outside my shapes.

Is there a step I'm missing that would help me get this done.

Aesthetic Quality Inference Engine Feb 23, 10, 6:08 a.m.

Since 2005, computer scientists have attempted to develop automated methods to infer aesthetic quality of images. Large number of manually-rated online photographs were used to "teach" computers about what visual properties are of relevance to aesthetic quality. The Acquine Engine developed at Penn State University rates natural photographs uploaded by users.

So give it a try. Upload one of your photographs and have the computer at Penn State University rate its aesthetic appeal.
