I spent a bit of time this weekend building an RGB color cube for
ColorPal, using Three.js. Drag and drop any image, and you’ll see a
cube with all the pixels of your image mapped into 3D space.
Launch live demo! and view the
code.
Your web browser must support WebGL, which at t…
A few weeks ago, a coworker of mine ran into some font issues. Firefox
doesn’t allow cross-origin requests for web fonts, and he was using a tool
called Font Squirrel to generate fonts, including data URIs.
Embedding a data URI for a font (or image) inside a CSS file is a common

Ever been here?
I want to double the size of this image
open calculator
type in current width * 2
type in current height * 2
paste results back into the Create New Image dialog
I’ve done that countless times. As I was about to do the same thing once more,

This is a speedy post about a speedy update I made today to
ColorPal, an HTML5 tool I wrote that automatically
generates color palettes from a photograph.

In my last post on the subject, I introduced
ColorPal, my HTML5 color palette generation tool. It didn’t perform well with
certain types of images, so I fixed it. :)
Color palettes will now match the image even better. Especially for images
with infrequent but important colors.…
Introducing ColorPal!
I’ve been toying with color palette generation for years. My photography website has always had some form of dynamic palette, so the theme of each page matches the photo. You can see the current iteration here:
I owe the idea of photo-matching website pale…
Update: I happened across a KeePass
plugin (not the same as KeePassX)
that displays passwords as QR codes, just like my hack below.
Poor, glorious N9.
It’s impossible not to love the N9 if you’re a geek, especially a programming,
bash-loving, Linux-hankering geek. It’s like a ner…
This is a slightly upgraded version of the physics demo I showed in my last post.
It is still…
“a buggy, rudimentary, just-for-fun javascript physics simulator.”
This version has:
pre-defined initial states
gravity
friction
It still has the “clinging” bug. I know how to fix it,…
