35 Fantastic HDR Pictures | Smashing Magazine
Applied carefully, High Dynamic Range-technique (HDR) can create incredibly beautiful pictures which blur our sense of the difference between reality and illusion. In graphics HDR imaging is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows. This is usually achieved by modifying photos with image processing software for tone-mapping. And the results can be really incredible; in fact, many artists and designers come up with some pretty fancy results.
HDR Tutorial | High Dynamic Range Tutorial
HDR is short for High Dynamic Range. It is a post-processing method of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed. I would say that about 75% of my images use the technique, and if you are new to it, then you may notice a slightly different “look and feel” to my photographs. You should also probably note that HDR is a very broad categorization, and I really hate categorization. My process starts with using basic HDR techniques, but then there are many more steps to help the photos look more… let’s say… evocative.
Peer-to-Peer Learning Handbook | Peeragogy.org
This book, and accompanying website, is a resource for self-organizing self-learners. This project seeks to empower the worldwide population of self-motivated learners who use digital media to connect with each other, to co-construct knowledge of how to co-learn. Co-learning is ancient; the capacity for learning by imitation and more, to teach others what we know, is the essence of human culture. We are human because we learn together. Today, however, the advent of digital production media and distribution/communication networks has raised the power and potential of co-learning to a new level.
The Animated GIF: Still Looping After All These Years | Underwire | Wired.com
And this is precisely why animated GIFs are still popular today. In the age of YouTube and cameraphones and TiVo, we’re increasingly inundated with moving images. But the animated GIF lets us stop and ponder a single moment in the stream, to resee something that otherwise would zip by unnoticed.
Coub: The next generation of moving images
The GIF made looped animation possible more than 20 years ago. It was funky, it was fun, and it conquered the web. But now the GIF is obsolete. Introducing the coub, a revolutionary way to turn videos into high-quality moving images with sound.
Doppelganger Series by photographer François Brunelle • Selectism
Canadian photographer François Brunelle puts together this series of strange coincidences. Unrelated, total strangers to each other, he sought out pairs who looked uncannily alike and shot them side by side. The series entitled, ‘I’m Not a Look-Alike!’, came from an obsession with the idea that everyone on earth has a doppelganger, with the hope of shooting 200 couples and turning the results into a book and exhibition.
Man’s Head Explodes in Barber’s Chair | Copyblogger
The first thing you should know is that copywriting and content are two different critters. Related, but different. We’ll talk lots more about that as we go forward. One thing they do have in common, though, is that they both need fantastic headlines.
How to make RSA Animate style videos with your class… : Blogush
Nothing fancy in this post, just the nuts and bolts of how to make an RSA Animate style video with your class! This is also one of those posts that is so long that there is simply not enough time in my life to go back and edit and revise it…so you get what you get and please don’t get upset.
The 100 Word Stories Podcast
I started writing drabbles after a friend in college wrote a set of them in a 100×100 project. Woody Allen’s play about Abraham Lincoln obsessing over “How long must a man’s legs be? Long enough to reach the ground” inspired me. Then, a group of writers started the site “100 Words Or Les Nessman” where they challenged themselves to write about a topic or write about Les Nessman. Unlike the other writers, I recorded my stories. The recordings became a separate podcast feed and archive. At one point along the way, I swore that I would write one a day until the day I die. Since I’m not dead, I’m still writing these things. On Sundays, I invite people to write their own stories on a posted theme. We call it The Weekly Challenge.
This Bookmarklet Overlays Rule of Thirds Gridlines to Photos in Your Browser
Want to see whether or not your favorite photographers are following the rule of thirds when composing their shots? Programmer and photography enthusiast Alex Dergachev has created a simple browser bookmarklet that overlays RoT gridlines over any (or almost any) web photograph.
A Chrome Extension for Looking Up the Histogram of Any Online Photograph
A couple of weeks ago we featured a Google Chrome extension for overlaying “rule of thirds” lines over any online photograph. Now we have a different tool for examining other photographer’s photographs: Image Histogram. Created by developer/photographer Nick Burlett, it’s a Chrome Extension that can quickly bring up the histogram of any online photograph. The Extension adds a new “Toggle histogram” option to your right-click menu on photos. Click it to overlay a histogram for the photograph directly over the image. Click it again to make it disappear.
Cookin’ Canuck – The Caesar Cocktail, aka the Canadian Bloody Mary Recipe
Although the Caesar (the cocktail, not the salad) is a drink reminiscent of my wayward twenties and several queasy morning-afters, I still have a very soft spot for this tomato-based cocktail. Okay, I wasn’t actually that wayward, though perhaps my story about the Kamikaze shots had you thinking otherwise. At the end of a long dinner shift at the restaurant where I worked during some of my university years, the staff would line up at the bar with the vodka, Clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce to make some stiff cocktails. Who said these babies need to be relegated to brunch on Sundays?

Standards-Based Grading | ThinkThankThunk
Standards-Based Grading is a technique devoted to giving students formative control over their own progress (and grade). It requires, at least, a fundamental change in the behavior of your grade book, but I’ll let you read about that. I’ve written about implementing SBG in specific disciplines.
With Growth Of 'Hacker Scouting,' More Kids Learn To Tinker : NPR
Countless kids have grown up with the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts or Campfire Girls, but for some families, the uniforms and outdoor focus of traditional Scouting groups don't appeal. In recent months, Scoutlike groups that concentrate on technology and do-it-yourself projects have been sprouting up around the country. They're coed and, like traditional Scouting organizations, award patches to kids who master skills. Ace Monster Toys is a hacker space in Oakland, Calif., where members share high-tech tools. Normally, grown-ups congregate there, working on electronics or woodworking projects. But two Sundays a month, the place is overrun by 50 kids and their parents for the gatherings of a group called Hacker Scouts.
Automatic timezone detection using JavaScript
This script gives you the zone info key representing your device's time zone setting. The return value is an IANA zone info key (aka the Olson time zone database). The IANA timezone database is pretty much standard for most platforms (UNIX and Mac support it natively, and every programming language in the world either has native support or well maintained libraries that support it).

Building a Client Logo Grid with Centered Elements | Unmatched Style
Raise your hand if you’ve tried to get a grid of client logos to center horizontally and vertically inside each logo’s container. It sounds so simple and yet frustratingly it’s not. Sure there are some new CSS properties that can help, but they’re not supported in older versions of Internet Explorer. Thankfully I stumbled on a solution a few years ago and it still works great today in all major browsers
Creating a Grid for Product View in PHP for a eCommerce Site
I have been working on a website that displays products in a grid view, with each product containing a title, an image and some in a grid view. To achieve this layout, I used an unordered list with the CSS display property on each item set to inline-block. Let me walk you through the code and point out how this approach works well for a responsive layout.
