September Roundup

By Eric F. Savage on September 30th, 2007

Creeeepppy!

  • This is just plain creepy, who would want that done to their kid’s picture?
  • Lies that are true – Fiction blog, I really like Mr. Harrell’s style. I also love the design and tagline on his blog.
  • The next time I’m in need of some prints, I’ll be hitting Plan 59
  • I’m a pretty honest person, and while I haven’t gone this far, I think I’m headed in that direction.
  • Groan My IP is hilarious, NSFW if you W with a bunch of prudes
  • I was surprised by how many these programming quotations I hadn’t heard before.
  • I’m familiar with Fibonacci, but I’d never heard of, or completely forgot about, the Golden Ratio. Turns out the columns widths I picked (before I found that page) for the new StyleFeeder design just happen to be 1.6:1.

    I don’t know how you stumbled up on the Golden Ratio, but I saw something on BBC America one night about it. John Cleese (of Monty Python fame) has a show (or mini-series) called “Faces” or something like that…in which he talks about what makes people attractive to others. About half the show was about this ratio, and how all sorts of random parts of our bodies work out the 1.6 to 1 – on our hands, our faces, etc…

    Or, technically, how if we DID have exactly a 1.6 to 1 ratio we would be “attractive”, while most of us don’t.

    Elizabeth Hurley had the perfect 1.6 to 1 “face mask”, while John Cleese was WAY off. These two examples were all I needed to see to believe the theory 100%.
