Week 8: Sweet Like Candy

[ase]

Experimenting with thumbnails this week. I'm not a fan, since they make people click through for the full image, so unless someone says something I'm probably going to keep experimenting.


Jelly beans. I tease the peeps adherents for their attachment to colored marshmellows, but my current craze for flavored sugar is just as bad. Resizing.


Sky and trees, Saturday morning. Auto levels, resizing.


Moon and Venus (presumably), Saturday night about 10:15 PM EDT. A pleasing experiment with tripod and manual settings. Someday I'm going to want to upgrade to a real zoom lens.

My Starry Nights Widget on my iMac Dashboard (explanations available upon request) say it's Venus.

It pretty much has to be; nothing else is that bright.

Thumbnails are good, particularly when lots of pictures are involved. Dreamweaver has a feature that will go through an entire directory of images and prepare thumbnails for them. . .you get to control size, naming, etc.

Incidentally, a local artist turns out to be married to one Prof. Marco Colombini, who seems to be at least familiar with your name. Apropos of nothing in particular, except the size of the world.

Dad's got the Dreamweaver installation disks, which we have both forgotten to get to me since last October. However, he's in China for ten days (taking advantage of United's new Beijing nonstop - go dad!) so it'll be a little longer before I get it.

Oh wow. I was his worst student ever. He was my biophysics professor, a class you may remember me mentioning a couple times in the past. It's a tiny, tiny world.

I hope you don't mind, but in the new biophysics lab that I'm working in, I've quoted your acrylamide neurotoxin icon so many times that not only did I snarf it as a userpic, but if you don't mind, I would like to try to print it out and post it at my lab bench.

Thanx muchly,

Robin

but if you don't mind, I would like to try to print it out and post it at my lab bench.

You're welcome to try, but why not try printing out the original quote? (If you want to copy and paste into a word processing program, I got the quote here, third from the bottom (http://www.xs4all.nl/~jcdverha/scijokes/4_5.html).) The resolution on the icon is 72 pixels an inch, so a print version is going to be pretty tiny, and probably look bad. If you're really attached to the font, it's Pupcat, and you should be able to download it from dafont.com if you don't already have it.

I'll have to put the link on the lab computer that runs the spectrophotmeter and the gel photography camera (and see who finds it), but I really appreciate how your artwork improved the quote.
