For those of you who live in Adobe Illustrator, you can really appreciate this kind of work and the linked tutorial. This is essentially photorealistic 3D rendering of a human face done in Illustrator based on a photograph. If you don’t have the kind of chops to create something like this, give the tutirial a shot and see how much patience you have in drawing vector artwork. I would suggest getting a tablet first if you don’t already have one…

I wrote a little script that allows you to display the photos from any Flickr RSS feed. The phot album you see to the side of this blog is using this little script. It uses the lastRSS class to parse the feed written by Vojtech Semecky from lastRSS.webdot.cz as well as javascript library from script.aculo.us. It has some nice caching features built in to speed things up a little. Enjoy.

I wrote a little simple script that allows me to serve my MP3 library over the net so I can stream it from whereever I am. I use it to stream my 100 GB music collection to my Treo 700p via EVDO. I essentail can walk around any major metropolitan area in the U.S. and access every song in my collection through my phone including creating dynamic, on-the-go playlists.

I decided to share it with the world since I use it so much. It’s pretty basic but it has some nice features already.

1. No database required
2. Dynamic playlist creation
3. Multiuser support via cookies
4. Supports common mp3 players (iTunes, Winamp, etc..)
5. Flash-based Web player (I didn’t make the swf file)
6. Works with Smartphones such as the Treo 700p over EVDO

Check it out and feedback is welcome as long as they are constructive…

Thanks for coming to visit my new blog. I am going to be blogging about interesting Web design and development projects I am working on as well as interesting news I come across or trips I take around the U.S. and the rest of the world. See you around.
