HAHAHAAAAAAA

Fabian Oefner syncs a drill with his camera to capture the tiny instant where paint is flung with the drill's centrifugal force. Stunning.

Gênio??

In the "Jim'll Paint It", artist Jim will paint — in Microsoft Paint! — absolutely anything you want. Like "Please paint me Robocop at the checkout in Tesco, trying to decide if its worth 10p for a bag for life. He has bought a shitload of Soreen so he's going to need something sturdy."

Marvel libera 700 quadrinhos de graça para download

Vai acabar vamo baixareee

Fãs dos heróis da Marvel, é chegada a hora de entupir seus tablets e celulares com histórias em quadrinhos, todas baixadas legalmente direto da Casa das Idéias. Como forma de promover seu app de quadrinhos digitais, a Marvel está disponibilizando 700 títulos online, inteiramente de graça e sem custos adicionais.

Quadrinhos para todos os gostos

Quadrinhos para todos os gostos

A ação no site da Marvel americana inclui tanto edições antigas (como as primeiras edições de “Vingadores” ou “Homem-Aranha”) como também alguns títulos ainda inéditos no Brasil. Claro que o grosso do acervo gratuito é de títulos “menores” da editora, mas ainda assim é uma bela promoção.

Os quadrinhos podem ser comprados pelo aplicativo The Marvel Comics, disponível tanto para Android quanto para iOS, ou pelo próprio site da editora. Nesse caso, os arquivos depois são baixados para o smartphone ou tablet.

Com o custo normalmente variando de US$ 1,99 a US$ 3,99, as 700 edições gratuitas chegariam a um valor realmente alto se fossem compradas uma a uma. Boa oportunidade de conhecer melhor os personagens que você vive vendo nos cinemas e em séries animadas, além de te motivar a ir na banca e comprar algumas edições (isso se você já não faz isso).

Mas obviamente nem tudo são flores. Tanto o site da Marvel quanto o aplicativo estão tendo problemas na autenticação e no download dos quadrinhos, provavelmente pelo volume de pessoas tentando baixar as edições. O ideal é ser persistente, já que essa promoção se encerra na madrugada de terça-feira (12) para quarta-feira.

Web Design Goodies Logo Design Process

by Sam Jones


To coincide with the recent relaunch of Web Design Goodies I was asked by Catalin to redesign the logo. The aim was to create a slick combination mark that would fit the theme of the website and be instantly recognisable as a standalone mark.

Here’s a breakdown of the process I took in order to try and achieve that goal:

1. First, I did some research on Web Design Goodies in order to familiarise myself with the website, find out what it was all about and to see what “goodies” it had to offer.

2.  Started the ideation process by looking up the definition of the word ‘goodies’. This is something I often do at the start of a logo design project because I find that certain descriptive words help trigger new thoughts and ideas.

3. Wrote a list of words associated with the words ‘web design’ and ‘goodies’.

word association

4. Used the list of associated words to help generate ideas for the logo mark, which I then sketched out on paper.

5. Took what was initially my favourite idea, which was to use curly braces ({ – used to surround declaration groups in CSS) to form the handle of a goody bag, and did a couple of mock ups in Illustrator.

6. That idea wasn’t really working so I went back to the drawing board and found myself leaning towards the idea of symbolising ‘candy’ (a synonym of ‘goodies’) or something similar that would fit the description of being ‘desirable’ or ‘pleasant’.

7. I sketched out some more ideas before eventually landing on the concept of again using curly braces but this time to form the icing on top of a cupcake.

candy sketches

8. I then mocked up the idea in illustrator.

9. Happy with the result, I polished up the design and added a few subtle details.

10. Chose an appropriate colour scheme.

11. And finally, added the accompanying type using a simple sans-serif that wouldn’t distract from or clash with the mark itself.

I got dressed in my traditional Indian regalia, but there was a man, he was the producer of the whole show. He took that speech away from me and he warned me very sternly. “I’ll give you 60 seconds or less. And if you go over that 60 seconds, I’ll have you arrested. I’ll have you put in handcuffs.”

- Sacheen Littlefeather in Reel Injun (2009), dir. Neil Diamond.

They were MAD, CONFUSED AND PRESSED that Marlon Brando would betray White Supremacy in this way.

To this very day, they are TWISTED over this.

And when Littlefeather got up there and READ THEM FOR FILTH, they GAGGED. For eons.

So I imagine there are people like me out there who’ve never even heard of Marlon Brando and are extremely confused over why this is important.

Marlon Brando was the Don in The Godfather, and in 1973, he was nominated for and won an Academy Award for it. However, he was also a huge Natives rights activist, and boycotted the ceremony because he felt that Hollywood’s depictions of Native Americans in the media led to the Wounded Knee Incident (which I was always taught as “the second massacre at Wounded Knee” but apparently that’s not the real name). He sent Sacheen Littlefeather, an Apache Native rights activist, in his stead. Wikipedia’s article on her explains the rest:

Brando had written a 15-page speech for Littlefeather to give at the ceremony, but when the producer met her backstage he threatened to physically remove her or have her arrested if she spoke on stage for more than 60 seconds.[5] Her on-stage comments were therefore improvised. She then went backstage and read the entire speech to the press. In his autobiography My Word is My BondRoger Moore (who presented the award) claims he took the Oscar home with him and kept it in his possession until it was collected by an armed guard sent by the Academy.

That is what this gifset is about.

You have GOT to read up on this. The Wounded Knee Incident, Marlon Brando and Sacheen Littlefeather, Anna Mae Aquash. ALL OF IT. 

Her name was known in my house, I hope it’s known in many, many more in the future.

The Higgs Boson Particle Explained in Paper-Based Illustrations

higgs_boson_infographic.jpg
The collection of photos titled "Higgs Boson - Le Monde" [zimandzou.fr] by French graphic design office Zim & Zou was created to illustrate an article in a magazine of the newspaper Le Monde.

The depicted paper and tinfoil -based infographic artefacts each illustrate a specific characteristic of the Higgs Boson phenomenon. For instance, in one graph, colorful balloons - representing the boson - hold up other, smaller particles, to illustrate how the Higgs boson gives other particles their mass. Another photo shows a puzzle-like circle to denote how the Higgs Boson is the "final puzzle piece" in understanding the matter that makes up the universe.

Cobertura hidrofóbica digna de Hogwarts

by Rossato
Cobertura hidrofóbica digna de Hogwarts:
Sir Arthur Clarke dizia que qualquer tecnologia suficientemente avançada é indistinguível de magia, mas ele não avisou que mesmo mentes racionais e científicas teriam a reação de gritar apontando “BRUXARIA!” e correríamos para descobrir se o criador da tal tecnologia pesa o mesmo que um pato.
É o caso do Ultra Ever Dry, um impermeabilizador superhidrofóbico que torna quase qualquer superfície muito, muito repelente a líquidos.
Já vi muitas demonstrações de produtos semelhantes, a grande maioria em ambientes controlados onde gotas delicadas daquele fluxo menstrual de nativas de pandora, usado em anúncios de absorvente e pasta de dente eram espalhadas em superfícies cuidadosamente escolhidas.
O Ultra Ever Dry usa objetos do dia-a–dia e pega pesado. Não é água azulada, é tinta, lama, óleo na bota.
Talvez o mais assustador é que não se trata de alguma curiosidade de laboratório, é um produto comercial, que qualquer um pode comprar. É caro? Sim, os dois componentes do produto saem no total a pouco mais de US$ 150,00; suficiente para cobrir 4 metros quadrados, mas por algo que o bom-senso diz ser impossível, é um excelente preço, veja:
