CodeZoo

Time, there’s never enough of it. Especially on our projects. Anyway O’Rielly, (You know those guys that do the thick tech book thing), has a site www.codezoo.net. Which looks like a great site to find code components fast. So, its not that everyone starts applications from scratch anymore – and CodeZoo has an open source community that provides high-quality components as well as reviews, user comments and material. The info on the site looks like its presented fairly clearly, so developers can find up-to-date information easily.

Gigapxl Project Takes on America

Using a custom-made traditional 9×18 inch view camera and advanced high resolution digital scanning techniques, the Gigapxl Project is slowly, but surely, assembling an ultra-high resolution portrait of America. How high is high resolution? Try 4 billion pixels per image. That typically results in a print 10 x 20 feet. In 2003, a 21-foot long panorama of San Francisco was displayed in that city’s Palace of Fine Arts/Exploratorium. So far 91 cities, 28 national parks and 502 locations have been photographed on a read trip that has, since the year 200, amassed over 30,000 road miles. A gallery of images is available here.

The Boom and the Arty

A little something from Paris. Strangely atmospheric and ecclectic, the Boom is an original music, graphic, digital and analog portfolio of work housed in a beautiful Flash-driven online atmosphere. Everything about the Boom, and the music made by the artist, is highly twitchy and very detailed, making for a beautiful visual platter and a delicious audio treat.
