Live - "Lightning Crashes": Life, death, and rebirth

schmawy says...

S'not working for me and my firefox. Just a big black rectangle, which represents void, nothingness, and peace. So I voted for that.
I also really like that song, but it was the big black rectangle that really got me.

Babies can spot the good, the bad and the ugly

you know, just because the square was keeping the circle from coming up the hill does not mean that the square was a bad guy. Anybody think about the possibility that the circle and his accomplice (the triangle) are criminals trying to invade his home? That square has a lovely rectangle and 2 rhombi at home to protect.

Finally: proof that there's an Alien invasion base on Moon!

Actually the location you pointed out Ajkido, it has a few examples. But if you look closely that blur spot follows a vertical line on both sides all the way down. It's part of the film strip where they line them up side by side, with the part you pointed out being tapered. Most of the film probably overlapped photos, with some parts of the film possibly not exposing properly or optics issues, or even just sucky trimming and merging of all the photo strips. You have to remember since the moon is a sphere and all photos were of a 35mm type rectangle, it's going to have to be trimmed at some point to avoid overlapped and duplicate imaging. And if there was a gap between photos, it had to be filler with some form of filler. And photo editting as it is known today did no exist. But nonetheless, it is still very fascinating.

what confuses me is that when you see four rectangles, they are colored.

so, at least in that frame, bit depth is at least 2 (I don't think there were more than 4 colors)

I don't see how a 9 page study from 1974 (with only the first page visible) talking about people selecting between rectangles has more authority than Leonardo Da Vinci's famous discovery of the proportions correlating to the human body. You just researched it half arsed and tried to find a quote real quick that supported your gross association to Nazism and pseudoscience. I hope this gets popular just so more people can see how horribly ridiculous your arguments are in calling proportional symmetry a concept similar nazi aerian superiority. You can't reply and you run away only because you didn't bother to see how ridiculous and irrelevant the article you were citing was. I'm honestly disgusted and even more disgusted you'd try to correlate this to a debate between a religious fundamentalist and a logical person. You're shameless and unwilling to admit it was a hyperbolic claim you made ignorantly thinking the golden ratio was some kind of hollywood hype rather than a real mathematical ratio. Sick. Just. Sick.

Mathematical proportions and symmetry relating to beauty is not BS or nazism. I hope the way you cited that article without reading it will haunt you at night.

?????

That's a 9 page article asking 3 groups of 55 people to chose different rectangles that appeared in some magazine!! What does THAT have to do with beauty? The golden ratio has also been applied to music. Heck even Zelda Music uses the golden ratio.

Da Vinci was the first to identify that the proportions of the human body have the golden ratio occurring over and over again. I'm sorry but this picture:

is a little more famous than your articles about people's preferences selecting rectangles.

> Basically almost everyone on this earth who looks 'normal' will fit within that graphed mask.
no. Symmetry between the right and left side of the face is a big part of beauty. The more healthy people look, also the more beautiful. I can give you a source if you want but seems like common sense.

>Besides, it's no rocket science that you'd find a man with 2 feet of jaws and a cranium the size of Jupiter not fit for 'pretty ratio'. Duh.

??? Yeah the more disproportionate the more people are generally considered ugly. Similarly the more in perfect proportion the more good looking. I don't see why you say duh, because that's just supporting the golden ratio, which you call BS and compare to nazism in the first comment... how upsetting too. This vid shows people how to have fun with gimp, learn a little more about the structural differences between a male and a female (the main point), and on the side teaches people about how the golden ratio corresponds to the face. I hope people don't look to your comment as a review for the video -_-.

Drawing With HTML

Sylvester_Ink says...

You know, now that I've looked into it, I think that creating the image using tables was probably the best choice to make. Using CSS would mean too much extra code, and tables are a simpler and more efficient way of simulating rectangle fills. They may not be standards-compliant, but in this case they get the job done with little fuss. Obviously CSS is more practical for web development, and this technique is unlikely to be used for any true development purposes. In short, I've decided that using tables for this was probably the best choice.

Besides, this is about drawing the picture using HTML. Last time I checked, HTML included tables, but not stylesheets . . .

New Logo Submissions (Sift Talk Post)

I like "1" of the two hive designs. I like that it is a uniform blue color matching the new interface. The hive is appealing because all the members help build the site by posting and voting videos.

"2"appeals to me too because of its simplicity.

The only other thought I had was playing with the dots in the "i's". One could be a triangle (play) and the other could be the two rectangles (stop). Or the dots could be the up and down vote triangles - maybe having an upside down "i".
