Simian Design

These are my delicious links for September 23rd:

• Red Sydney – A great photoset of the large dust storm raging through town turning everything red, red, red.

These are my delicious links for January 13th through January 14th:

• Movie Poster Remakes. – Olly has decided to create a series of movie posters reinterperated in a kinda minimalistic post modern German-ism style. Six posters (The Dark Knight, Die Hard, Deer Hunter, Rain Man, The Great Dictator, and American History X) are listed here. The Deer Hunter and Die Hard are probably the best in my opinion.
• Fancy Aquarium setups. – Not so much fancy in terms of glass shape, but fancy in terms of what's inside. Brilliant lighting and growth make for stunning underwater landscapes.
• Select Cuts Off Options In IE (Fix) – If you set a static width on the <select> element, any <option> elements that are wider get cut of in IE 7 and below. There is no good CSS solution for this that I can come up with or find. It has been tackled with JavaScript a number of ways.
• iPhone Wallpaper. – Extraverage has a nice collection of iPhone wallpapers. Worth checking out.
• Facebox 1.2 – Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox which can display images, divs, or entire remote pages. It's simple to use and easy on the eyes. You'll need a loading image, close label, four corners, and solid border images in addition to the javascript and css files

These are my delicious links for January 7th through January 8th:

• Book Cover Archive – For the appreciation and categorization of excellence in book cover design
• Worlds undersea cables. – Nice chart showing how the world's wired up.
• 10 Killer WordPress Hacks – Nice collection of hacks and examples for WordPress.
• Lego Star Wars. – brickplumber's photostream is a fantastic collection of lego Star Wars figures and creations. Fun fun fun.
• Andy Griffith theme/Beyonce mashup – This is so incredibly captivating, just brought a wide smile to my face. Party Ben's Single Ladies (In Mayberry) (Beyoncé vs. "The Andy Griffith Show" Theme) is just the thing to start your day with.
• 100 (Really) Beautiful iPhone Wallpapers | Graphics | Smashing Magazine – Great collection of images to spruce up your iPhone.
• Air Force Releases 'Counter-Blog' Marching Orders – Bloggers: If you suddenly find Air Force officers leaving barbed comments after one of your posts, don't be surprised. They're just following the service's new "counter-blogging" flow chart. In a twelve-point plan, put together by the emerging technology division of the Air Force's public affairs arm, airmen are given guidance on how to handle "trolls," "ragers" — and even well-informed online writers, too. It's all part of an Air Force push to "counter the people out there in the blogosphere who have negative opinions about the U.S. government and the Air Force," Captain David Faggard says.
• Vertoramas – Ralph Cooksey-Talbott is a landscape photographer who studied under Ansel Adams in Yosemite in the 1970's. Cooksey is currently doing vertical panoramic photography that is reminiscent in composition to monumental Asian landscape ink-on-silk paintings. He calls them Vertoramas and I think they are exceptionally beautiful. Besides selling prints, Cooksey provides many of his images as free desktop pictures.

These are my delicious links for November 23rd:

• Free Flickr eXporter iPhoto Plugin (FFXporter) – While I used to love and use the Flickr Exporter, I don't think it's worth $24 as it currently stands. I think shareware should be in the $10-15 range, and anything about 20 is asking for a lot. I just want to export to Flickr from iPhoto.

  This is a free exporter that works.
