Applying a filter from Adobe Photoshop in an attempt to create a fun, cartoon appearance.
Cartoony and 3D with a subtle texture created by the noise filter. Shadow is inconsistent with lighting. Used a combination of circles, gradients and the free transform tool to create a 3D appearance.
Removed texture and decreased prominence of the shadow in pursuit of a simpler appearance.

First time participating in a large, community bicycle ride was a lot of fun and a great way to spend Sunday morning.
Had originally registered for the 30km route. Through a combination of poor signage and lack of awareness, I followed everyone onto the 45km route. In retrospect, I’m glad I took the wrong turn. Completing the 45km is a testament to my regular riding. Wasn’t as exhausted as the first time I cycled 30km.
Between work, study and personal interests I spend too many hours sitting in front of the computer.
After recently buying a second hand bicycle, I’ve been developing regular riding habits. Riding the bicycle to uni, instead of the motorobike. Riding the bicycle to the local shops, instead of the car. More importantly, I’ve been achieving a minimum of thirty minutes per day.
Short, regular rides are refreshing and enable you to feel alive again. Adii Rockstar feels the same about running.
I now go running for two possible reasons:
- If I had a great day at the office, my afternoon run is a perfect way to almost celebrate that day; and
- If I had a shitty day up until that point, the run is a great way to clear my head and just feel refreshed by removing myself from that shittiness.
Maybe I’m splitting hairs here, but even though I thus go running for two very different reasons, it has exactly the same result: I feel much better afterwards.
On the 21st of March I’m participating in the The Great Brisbane Bike Ride (30KM) and looking forward to riding though the newly constructed Clem Jones tunnel.
Zoomable Type is a jQuery plugin for reading small text on a display from far away. Text is upscaled to the largest size based on its width and the browser’s viewport.
I’m building a web application with many contact numbers.
Reading a contact number off a display and typing it into a handset can be difficult when the text is small and you lose your place.
Apple have already solved this problem in Mac OS X with the “Show in Large Type” functionality found in Address Book and Mail. Zoomable Type implements this as a jQuery plugin for the web.
Zoomable Type is hosted on GitHub and distributed under the MIT licence. Try some examples on the project home page.
Formally published as tatey-jekyll, the project has been renamed to Jekylless for two reasons:
As a result, the repository has moved and you should now use the Jekylless gem instead of tatey-jekyll. When upgrading to Jekylless be sure to include an empty YAML front matter (Two lines of triple dashes ---) in your LESS files.
Wolfgang recently merged Jekyll 0.5.7, refactored LESS CSS support and added the capability to specify a post’s time in the YAML front matter (You didn’t really publish all your posts at 12AM, did you?).
We’ll continue to stay as close as possible to Jekyll.
