Online image and photo editor - Aviary.com's Phoenix As per this blog post from July, we have officially closed the advanced suite of Flash tools (previously located at advanced.aviary.com) in order to focus on our new company direction powering the photo experience in 3rd party apps. While we hoped that everyone would have taken the time to retrieve their files since our notice, we recognize that the message may not have been seen by everyone. Therefore, if you were not able to retrieve all of your files to date, please contact us at support@aviary.com from the email address associated with your account to help retrieve your files. Do this quickly. While the tools will remain offline, we may continue to explore new homes in whole or in part, for specific elements of the suite. I would like to make a few recommendations for alternate tools to try: I have a number of thank yous to make, but I'll leave out names because there are so many and I don't want to risk leaving anyone out:
Personas | Metropath(ologies) | An installation by Aaron Zinman Circulan automóviles en DF a 17 km/h - El Universal - Autopistas Lunes 08 de octubre de 2007Ella Grajeda | El Universal16:40 En el Distrito Federal la velocidad de los autos se ha reducido a 17 kilómetros por hora debido al aumento de la flota vehicular y la falta de crecimiento de la infraestructura vial en los últimos 10 años, informó hoy Martha Delgado, secretaria de Medio Ambiente. Al participar en el foro Sobre Movilidad en la Ciudad de México, organizado por la Universidad Iberoamericana, reveló que cada año se incrementa entre un 10 y 15 por ciento el número de autos que circulan por las principales avenidas. Incluso, destacó, que en 1990 la velocidad promedio era de 38.5 kilómetros por hora y 14 años después alcanzó los 21 kilómetros por hora. Consideró que la falta de movilidad de los autos provoca índices de contaminación altos, por lo que es indispensable cambiar las políticas de transporte en esta capital. Como ejemplo comentó que durante el año 1993 al 2003, en 10 años, se redujo la velocidad promedio más o menos 10 kilómetros por hora.
Sail by the wind! The Rational Keyboard The Rational Keyboard is a browser app to play with harmony on the rational number line. Imagine a piano with infinitely many keys, one for each rational number, and the keys move around and resize based on what sounds good, using some really cool math. Audio is synthesized in background Web Workers and played with HTML5 Audio objects, and the interactive visualizations use a 2D HTML5 Canvas. Audio seems to work best in recent Firefox and Chrome releases, but HTML5 audio is still a young technology. -fritz obermeyer Subbania is complete – Two years of work for one HTML5 game | ektomarch. **UPDATE: The below online versions are out of date. Either get the Chrome Web Store version, or play it here. Get it from the Chrome Web Store: Click here +Play online now (works best on Chrome) +Here’s a downloadable version. Five word summary: Nazis in Hell fighting demons. Five more words: It’s pure Javascript and HTML5. Today’s the day I finally decided to release Subbania to the public. I’m glad I did. Most of my greatest ideas were conceived in the last 4-5 months of production. So what’s the end result? 118 levels, 25 songs, around 20000 lines of code, so many enemies and entities that I’m not even going to bother counting them, and a few solid hours of content. As for my frustrations that led me to consider quitting, what was the biggest? Two-thirds of the way through development, a small update was released for Chrome. Problem solved, right? In the end, I managed to pack all of my assets into a 13.5 MB folder. Then I zipped up the folder. 9.8 MB. So here’s my game.
GoodMorning! GoodMorning! is a Twitter visualization tool that shows about 11,000 ‘good morning’ tweets over a 24 hour period, rendering a simple sample of Twitter activity around the globe. The tweets are colour-coded: green blocks are early tweets, orange ones are around 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning. Black blocks are ‘out of time’ tweets which said good morning (or a non-english equivalent) at a strange time in the day. Click on the image above to see North America in detail (click on the ‘all sizes’ button to see the high-res version, which is 6400×3600), or watch the video below to see the ‘good morning’ wave travel around the globe: GoodMorning! I’ll admit that this isn’t a particularly useful visualization. The first task was to gather 24 hours worth of good morning tweets. I’d already decided to embrace the visual cliche that is the spinning globe. In my first attempts, I coloured the tweet blocks according to the size of the tweet. GoodMorning!

Work Less This is the second installment in our new series Fully Carsonified, where we reveal how we work. Today we’ll explain how and why we work a 4-day week. Have you ever noticed that right before you go on holiday you get double the amount done that you would on a normal week? Why? Because you have a time constraint. When we tell people that at Carsonified we only work 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs, 9am – 6pm) then the general assumption is that we don’t get as much done as other companies. Infact, you can. Humans are in general efficient beings. Most offices work Mon – Fri, somewhere between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Of course it doesn’t have to be Fridays that are non-work days. Common questions and answers “It’s okay for you, you don’t have clients ringing you every day and expecting you to be there.” “I have SOOO much to do I can hardly fit it into five days nevermind four!” “But what about downtime? What if I have employees? Many people ask us what to do when employees are put into the mix.

Justin Vincent — Anatomy of a Native Feeling HTML5 iOS App Check out my tech startup podcast TechZing, we've recorded over 220 episodes. Maximise your downtime by listening to us while you code, commute or do the dishes! There’s been a lot of bad press about how you can’t build a native feeling HTML5 app on iOS. The main (perceived) issue is that HTML5 apps don’t “feel” native as you click around. However, I’m of the opinion that you can build beautiful native-feeling apps with HTML5, but it requires attention to detail. I’ve been touting this possibility to a number of clients over the past year, however they’ve all been too risk averse and chose to go native… until now. Although the app is small, it’s easy to imagine that a larger app made of multiple components such as this could also be made to feel just as native.
