CSS Naked Day – show off your tomorrow!
April 8th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
Tomorrow is the fourth annual 'CSS Naked Day'
The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good 'ol play on words. It's time to show off your .
This is not about getting traffic or making money. There are no ads on this site, nor will there ever be. This is about you, the people; getting naked.
Started in 2005 by Dustin Diaz to promote Web Standards, a good semantic mark-up and proper hierarchy structures, the first Naked day...

ToneMatrix
April 7th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
André Michelle is a German flash designer who works for Hobnox.
I was recently passed a link to his ToneMatrix, which is one of many fascinating audio experiments on his labratory page.
André's own modest description of the ToneMatrix...
Simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map, which makes it more cute.
If ever there was a paragraph that exemplified 'more than the sum of its parts', that's it. Despite its apparent simplicity, the ToneMatrix is one of the most addictive and compelling pieces of programming I've ever played with.
Try it for yourself...

Found Sound and Lost Music
April 2nd, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
Christian Marclay's work explores connections between sound, photography, video, and film. A pioneer of using gramaphone records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collage, Marclay is, in the words of critic Thom Jurek, perhaps the "unwitting inventor of turntablism."
Marclay began his exploration into sound and art through performances with turntables in 1979, while he was still a student. Early work includes a series of ‘Recycled Records’ (1980-86), fragmented and reassembled vinyl records that became hybrid objects that could be played, replete with abrupt leaps in tone and sound.
"I realized that when I listened to a record, there...
