Animated GIFs (video)

March 15, 2012

Peo­ple are exper­i­ment­ing with ani­mated GIFs again. These are not the flames of the 90’s. I espe­cially like the cin­ema­graphs. I had seen these sev­eral years ago. I like the life that they bring to a photo. I am sur­prised oth­ers are not exper­i­ment­ing more with this technique.

The Violin Maker (video)

March 5, 2012

There is some­thing that res­onates in my heart about craft­ing objects of beauty like a vio­lin. It is not a piece of art, but a work­ing tool. I like how the vio­lin maker sees his role as a part­ner­ship with the musician.

I think I would really enjoy mak­ing vio­lins or cre­at­ing fur­ni­ture with wood.

It was a Google Chrome extension that was causing my problem. Arghh. Glad I finally was able to track it down. [webcraftsman]

I think I tracked down my problem in Chrome. There is an extra div added to the bottom of my code, only in Chrome. Maybe an extension. [webcraftsman]

Getting extra spacing problem in Chrome for a Drupal site also. But I turned off the stylesheets I wrote and the spacing was still there. [webcraftsman]

Felt like I was chasing my tail on an issue this afternoon. Finally figured out that the problem was the image format. Argh. #problemsolving [webcraftsman]
