Ever thought of flipping through e-codices manuscript pages on your iPad or iPhone? As of June 2013, all e-codices manuscripts can be viewed in their entirety in an app for iPhone and iPad, available for free at: bit.ly/e-codicesApp
Some of the things you can do with the app:
- Search and browse almost 1,000 manuscripts, including selected highlights
- Bookmark single pages within manuscripts
- Bookmark manuscripts and build your own library („MyCodices“)
- Download entire manuscripts and view them offline
Prof. Christoph Flüeler, director of e-codices, explains why he thinks an app for digitized manuscripts is important:
„Nowadays, most manuscript scholars own and travel with a smartphone. Even though the possibilities to use an iPhone are seemingly endless, this personal digital assistant is hardly used for scholarly work in the Humanities yet. Our goal was to take full advantage of these possibilities and create a mobile application that would serve as a scholarly working tool.“
And what does Christoph like best about the new app? „I can access the full range of manuscripts on e-codices and create my own library under MyCodices with which I can work offline, when I don’t have an internet connection, such as on an airplane or at a remote location. But I also like the playful component: browsing through a manuscript on the iPad is simply fun.“ (taken from: e-codices Newsletter June 2013, Issue N° 11).
The e-codices iPhone and iPad app was developed by Jérémie Blaser and Rafael Schwemmer for text & bytes LLC and e-codices, and is available on the App Store for free. If you find the app useful, please consider making a donation to support the development of future updates and improvements.

One floor of Kingdom Tower is only accessible by women ... Even so, some women keep their veils on there ...
Later, I saw that on the other side of this sign is a ban on phonecams ... by then, I'd already used mine to take this!
I was amused by the line break - read the first line alone, then looked again!
William Andrew Pogány (1882-1955) was born in Hungary, studied art in Budapest, and worked in Paris briefly before moving to London in 1905 where he worked as a book illustrator for ten years. He moved to New York in 1915 and had success as a book illustrator and designer of stage sets and hotel interiors. “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is one of Pogany’s best-known books. It is a bold artistic experiment in unifying text and images. Every page is elaborately decorated in Pogany’s distinctive style, which attempts to recreate a medieval illuminated manuscript. He was responsible for the beautiful calligraphic text, green and mauve page decorations and borders, and the many black and white drawings and tipped-in plates in full color.

Moving on to another typographic reference to Manhattan housing (like my Gundam Collective design no. 118), this townhouse is for Pokemon enthusiasts.
The three tall wild grass terraces outside house a collection of difficult to grow but inexpensive Christmas cacti during their dormant periods. The characteristic lower manhattan fire escape is painted a lightning yellow and serves as a lounge behind glass wall panels for a very New York al fresco-style. Inside the building, floors separate various Pokemon theme towns with flowering cacti everywhere (these plants are very easy to propagate) representing the growth of good things from rugged surroundings, a metaphor for wild Pokemon.
The left wall of the building has a grid of interchangeable window openings to customize the interiors for natural lighting. Pokemon trainers can sharpen their battle skills as the ground floor and roof are open to the public with a series of Pokemon card machines. The roof is used as an event space for interactive Pokemon contests. The sectional diagrams show an alternate camera design.

One of the big changes in bus travel in the 1970s was the change from most buses having a driver and a conductor, to 'one-man' operation (lady bus drivers were very few and far between). The group of bus services between Sale and Moston changed over on 2 March 1970 to buses where instead of giving money to the driver, you inserted 6d (sixpence) coins into one of two machines located beyond the entrance. Buses with this system had a big yellow and black symbol to show 'coin in the slot' and it's seen here just left of the 'will change to one-man operation' text. But it's doubtful that people realised what the rather stylised symbol meant, leading to delays as people fumbled for change. But also the machines were prone to breakdown and with the driver unable to check who had paid at the machines behind him, fare evasion became a serious problem.
So the machines didn't last long, but the Museum of Transport's preserved 'Mancunian' bus 1001 still has the yellow and black symbol on the front and the distinctive red ticket machines inside.

The ironic twist of using a Stone Age (via 1962) camera design to craft a futurist camera concept is what I am using to celebrate with style my twins' 9-month mark today. Although C+A stands for Cameron and Audrey, we'll settle for "cyber-age" to be germane to our design concept.
With the imminent Microsoft voice-controlled camera technology already patented, this camera is not far off at all from being usable and today can still function simply has a fashion accessory.
This remake and upgrade of the Polarock Camera used in the 1962 Flintstones episode, "Flashgun Freddie" Is made of lightweight, cementitious, foamed concrete panels to allow the user to carry this and move with ease as often seen in Flintstones episodes.
The stacked double-dice cube design and openings into the camera body allow two views: the top view is a light, airy environment typical of a Rolleiflex type of viewing hood, and the lower view is of a heavy gravitas feeling of a Louis Kahn Interior.
Sequence of operation:
1. Hold the camera steady and frame the subject.
2. Open the upper back hatch door and view the image projected against the TLR screen from the viewing lens. Note here that there are two viewing screens: the second one is in front of the bird and represents the image the bird "sees" and has to reproduce, however the protruding digital surveillance camera lens of the bird does not need this second image; the user sees this second image through the mesh-screened hatch door.
3. Clicking the shutter button automatically opens the lower hatch door prompting user to speak a voice command to the Mechanical bird. "Alright Mack, we're ready" Is the programmed voice command to use. Each voice command will be accompanied by an appropriate response from bird's body loudspeaker. At the opening of the hatch door the Bird will automatically say, "Yeah, whaddaya want?"
4. User will hear a brief clip of bird pecking sounds for about 60 seconds (the digital photograph has already been taken from camera residing in the head assembly of the bird), so the time interval is simply a delay for the Polaprinter to make the 2"x3" print
5. At any time if the user says any voice commands like "Hurry up" or "Come on Mack", he will hear an instant reply from the bird while its wings slightly lift up-and-down but the printing process will just continue. Estimated printing time is 60 to 75 seconds.
6. Photo comes out of the printer in a characteristic Stone Age quality and accuracy. Use of a tripod or placement on the floor for baby pictures is highly recommended.
As almost all of my camera designs have social functions in the style of architectural ideals, this particular design also follows this tenet: the social function of this miniature architectural design to street photography is simply that the street photographer can evolve away from his solipsistic tendencies ("the camera is an extension of your arm", "the viewfinder is an extension of your eye") by concentrating on and communicating with the bird.

This is the site of the first meeting of the Gorsedd of the Bards of the Isle of Britain 22.6.1792.
Yma y cyfarfu Gorsedd Beirdd Ynys Prydain gyntaf
{Welsh text says roughly the same as the English.}
Edward Williams, better known by his bardic name Iolo Morganwg, (10 March 1747 – 18 December 1826) was an influential Welsh antiquarian, poet, collector, and literary forger. He was widely considered a leading collector and expert on medieval Welsh literature in his day, but after his death it was revealed that he had forged a large number of his manuscripts. Regardless, he had a lasting impact on Welsh culture, seen most notably in his foundation of the Gorsedd, and the philosophy he developed in his forgeries had a huge impact on the early neo-druid movement. His bardic name is Welsh for "Iolo of Glamorgan" (the county's name is spelt "Morgannwg" in modern Welsh). Iolo is the diminutive of "Iorwerth", a Welsh name often seen as equivalent to "Edward", although neither name is a translation of the other.
The /|\ means Awen, representing three rays of light emanating from three points of light & symbolises, among other things, the triple nature of the Druid path, incorporating the paths of Bard, Ovate and Druid.

Here are some of my favourite Flickr "hacks" (they're toys really) that make photopages work much better. Hover your mouse over the image to see the notes and links (bold text) to the hacks. To use most of them you must first install the Firefox browser (click here) and then GreaseMonkey (click here). There's a group dedicated to them here. I add new hacks all the time, check below for details. Also, if any of you are budding Admins or moderators I have a group that might interest you called Admin Help that, amongst other things explains how to use hacks to run a group.
"Giving up something for Lent is ultimately a form of fasting. We can deprive ourselves of some small pleasure or indulgence and offer that sacrifice up to God. Or we might “give up” a bad habit such as smoking as a way of positively turning our life back towards what God wants for us."

It's the height of injustice: those least responsible for climate change are suffering the most from it. As our world leaders decide on a global climate deal in Paris over the next week, let's remind them it's their chance, and responsibility, to finally do something about it. Stand with our Pacific neighbours: tell our PM Malcolm Turnbull to help keep warming below 1.5degrees. Tweet the PM now! twitter.com/TurnbullMalcolm

"blindtext": literally translation of the German word Blindtext = dummy text, dummy page.
Die Variable: von lateinisch variabilis: veränderbar.
In der formalen Logik: „ein sprachliches Zeichen, für das beliebige Ausdrücke einer bestimmten Art eingesetzt werden können“
Variable verwendet man auch in der Mathematik.
In der Typographie dient der sogenannte Blindtext als Platzhalter.
In der Informatik gibt es die Wildcard als Jokerzeichen.
Erstmals verwendet wurden Variable in der formalen Logik und zwar schon von Aristoteles.

Barb Wright as Liberace
This painting gave me difficulties....part and parcel of the woes as well as pleasures of digital painting. I began by loading the full cover from Confidential magazine (a sensational gossip rag from the 1950's onward) into ArtRage. Then I began painting the portrait on top of it. I was pleased with how it was coming along with the juxtaposition of painted portrait slapped against the magazine photo background. Then the difficulties began. First, part of the underlying red text area below became submerged under the painted image. As ArtRage does not have layers capability, I needed to hand paint the missing words in the "Mad About the Boy" area. In so doing, I zoomed in to work on the details of the lettering and moved the painting to one side of my computer screen to accomplish this easier. That was a fatal mistake. When I was finished with the letters, I then moved the picture back into place. All of a sudden, the entire right half of the picture was cut off and gone for good. I was faced with either abandoning the picture at this point or going on with it to hand paint the missing right half of the portrait as well as the missing photographic areas at the right of the picture. This explains the hand painted right section of the magazine. Actually, as it turned out, I now rather like the shift from left to right on the background section. In the "Frigid Wives" section, the move toward a bright green color was purely a color consideration called up by the bright yellow adjacent.... and the cool tone suggesting "frigid" in my painter's eye.
Toward completion, I thought perhaps to cut off the entire "Frigid Wives" section when I realized the "painted word" can load a painting with unavoidable narrative associations not attached to the image. However, the words tickled me as being so related to notions of American sexism of the '50's. So I let them stand as they were tied into the entire picture process from the beginning.
The portrait has been carried out with benign intent. I hope all viewers....and especial Barb Wright....can appreciate my image on its own process-involved terms.

Former Value City Department store. This was previously a King's department store. This store was one of the last Value City locations to close in 2008.
The logo on the building is one I have never saw Value City use before. First of all the sign on the building is orange instead of the orange, yellow, and white sign they usually used on a brown background (see street sign). Second, the "V" in Value City on other signs is the only large-sized letter and on the sign here both the "V" and "C" are expanded. Last of all, the "Value City" sign is usually centered above the entrance with the "Department Store" text directly underneath it.

Of the borders shown in this tiny specimen book a few can be found in the HarborPress specimen books, but almost all of them can be found in his Hammer Creek Press specimen book issued 16 years later. There are some rather unusual ornaments in this book, and some are quite difficult to identify as John collected borders and ornaments from many different sources.
I still haven't been able to put this lens through its paces. I'm looking forward to building my portrait experience, and hopefully this tool will give me the confidence to take it to the next level. Yes, I'm a gear whore, but who cares. This is a happy medium from the real cream machine, haha.
