My Room

A simple webgl experiment where I cut a hole in my room so I can watch TV. Going to finish this by uploading a movie of battlefield instead of the demo video. Code to come later, but for now check it out. I’m using a boilerplate I put together called BoilerGL. DEMO

Dark World

My first real webgl experiment using threejs. I’ve made some custom textures and will continue to mess around with this until I get something that is super weird and crazy. DEMO

WebGL Skybox Texture Mapping

So more to come…on all shit webGL. I’m just getting into this and I’d rather learn than blog, so I’ll come back with more info and tutorials later.

Every Chip Gets A Dip

Tostitos believes that no chip should ever be without dip. So for March 23, National Chip & Dip day, we decided to take that sentiment both very seriously and quite literally by giving everyone in America named Chip his (or her?) own free Tostitos dip. For real. All Chips have to do is visit EveryChipGetsADip.com, submit proof of their “chip-ness,”

Is It White?

Remember the dress? I give you http://isitwhite.com/ I had an idea to make a stupid website that was just white, and links back to the topic on reddit. I bought the domain, put the site up in about 15 minutes and watched in awe as people started pouring in. To date I’ve had 280k users. It was even listed on http://www.theuselessweb.com/ If

Redirect port 80 to 8080 using iptables

on your pi or your linux installation, you should probably have something called iptables sometimes you don’t want to run say, nodejs, as root. but you can’t make it listen to ports lower than 1024 without being root. in that case just redirect all traffic on port 80 to something like 8080. then run your node app to listen to

Seagate Living Logo

Our agency was tasked with rebranding the identity of Seagate. The banner was “Creating space for the human experience.” We wanted to show our data as “living.” Once our design team had the new mark, we “filled” it with data.

Fritzing Etching

I’ll write more about this later, but a quick tip for tonight… when you are printing pdfs for etching your circuits from fritzing, it will create a “something_top” and a “something_top_mirror” pdf. if you are surface mounting, you want the regular one, if you are using throughhole components, you want the mirror image. That way when you etch and flip
