David Desandro / metafizzy, maker of masonry and isotope of which I’m a big fan and user of has been busy with a new project called Packery. Packery, looks to be a child of Masonry. As you would expect it seems to be pushing things much further and addressing a few pain points of masonry. [...]

Working out a Math Problem | BIT-101

I love how math creeps into design, programming and other problem solving. I had some fun playing with Keith’s code (as usual). I’m always impressed with how he’ll see a problem and eventually at least figure out how to solve it using math/trig/physics. It’s a breath of fresh air and it almost makes me wish [...]

Randomness and Unicorns for Programming

book

Programming seems to have a gulf dividing the playful and the useful. The random and scripted. The fun and the business. KrazyDad writes the book review and calls for a concerted effort to close this gap. The pleasurable and “recreational programming” mindset seems to be giving way to OOP and other acronyms that do little [...]

Link: HTML5 multiply filter with canvas | Alberto Gasparin

css-multiply

Here’s a great little script I found useful today as I was working on having dynamic effects applied to javascript via canvas. “The canvas element provides scripts with a resolution-dependent bitmap canvas, which can be used for rendering graphs, game graphics, or other visual images on the fly.” Thanks to the canvas APIs I was [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 17

canvas17

I’m really enjoying giving a control panel of sorts to the end user and letting them control the physics rules of their canvas. Let’s add more motion to it by applying a jitter to the velocity of each dot. This is similar to earlier, when we first started animating by applying a random number to [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 16

canvas16

I always want to give the end user (at least some) control of how they view and interact with data. Earlier we gave users control over gravity. Here let’s give them control over the canvas edges. Rather than having our dots bounce on the edges of the canvas, lets have them wrap across to the [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 15

canvas15

Earlier we worked on making all the dots draggable, but what’s better than simply dragging dots? Let’s set up a way to throw the dots! Now as we drag it we record the positions and use that to calculate a new velocity. Then when a dot is dropped, it will have a trajectory to follow [...]

Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 14

canvas14

Here is an update to allow the end user to create more dots. A good way to do that is to just let users click on the canvas, and if they click a dot, drag it, if they don’t click a dot, create a new dot at the point of click. I moved the dot [...]

    Hooks, In a Nutshell – WP Daily

    I’ve published another article over on wpdaily.co exploring the concept of hooks. I remember when starting out that people kept mentioning hooks and filters and actions and… it took a while to grasp what they each meant. I think the first time I started to grasp it was when I read the codex and saw [...]

    WP Features: Theme or Plugin

    Reading my wpdaily.co updates today and saw this post talking about WordPress theme features. Eric explains the debate: Generally-speaking, the conversations have always circled around features: There are those that believe every feature you could ever imagine should be included like text color, font selector, and more. On the flip-side, there are those that feel [...]
