3D printed zoetrope

Meet the awesome 3Drehkino, an improved zoetrope. Improvements are:

• It uses flashing LEDs and the stroboscopic effect instead of a slit.
• It has electronics to sync the flashing with the rotation of the disk; the animation therefore works for a wide range of rotation speeds.
• It uses 3D objects rather than flat ones, making it look much very realistic.

If you ask me the obvious next step would be painting the objects. Via A Hack a Day.

Stylish

Stylish is a user styles manger that allows you to restyle the web. Stylish lets you easily install themes and skins for Google, Facebook, YouTube, Orkut, and many, many other sites. You can even customize Firefox and other programs themselves.

To give you an example of how to use Stylish allow me to use Google Reader. I cannot stand bright white backgrounds, reading text on them hurts my eyes. For this reason I use Stylish to change the look of Google Reader.

More precisely I essentially use Google Reader – Custom Color and Google Reader – Change the interface (which belong together). “Essentially” because I modified the colors used

from	to
rgb(223, 234, 248)	#bbb
rgb(234, 248, 248)	#bbb
rgb(233, 0, 0)	#009
rgb(191,191,191)	#ccc
#9bf	#4d90f0
#eee	#000

Color Folders

How to CSS a Table?

Imagine that you want to use CSS to give a table a certain design like the following one but do not want to go through the tedious process of manually tuning all the CSS.

Lorem	Ipsum
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.	Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.	Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

This is where the “HTML and CSS Table Border Style Wizard” comes to the rescue, a tool that allows you to interactively create such a design. The tool may not look great but it is easy to use and invites to play with it ☺

Sorry, I accidentally introduced a typo into the style. Fixed now.

German political parties online

You would think that German political parties have modern websites but allow me to invite you to some sites that look so 1990s that one actually wonders why they are not hosted on GeoCities.
