Long time ago, I posted a text scanner on flipcode (link). Couple of years later, I posted an update with all kinds of snazzy new features, a namespace, and what not.
Today, I’m reposting, with a hardcore regression to C.
-> TextScanner.h
-> TextScanner.c
This version has fewer fancy features, fewer lines of code, and more straight up dealing [...]

Color grading, or color timing, is the process of adjusting the color balance and exposure of footage.
The shots that make up a show can be corrected so that they all have similar characteristics. Footage can be corrected for natural skin tones. Different shots can be adjusted so that exposure levels go together well. Video [...]

Out on a recent hike, I stumbled across an abandoned Nike missile base. Three silos welded shut, rusting, filling with water in the rain. An apocalypse that might have been, abandoned to ruin. Mushrooms dotted the site, and the rocks were cleaved through with planes of quartz, giving the whole a mythic feel.
The slideshow is [...]

This article is a brief overview of the book Communicating Sequential Processes, by C.A.R. Hoare, June 21, 2004, first published in 1985 [...]

All effects accomplished in camera during shooting, with no processing later. (iPhone + TiltShiftGen as camera app)
I adjusted vignetting, saturation, contrast, and blur, adjusted exposure using the interactive spot meter, then snapped the pics.
Downrezzed to fit on screen.

There’s an extremely cool tool at Neoformix. It analyzes text for similarities and generates an arc map relating concepts. I tried it on Photons at the Doors of Perception and was impressed to see that it was able to distill the basic thesis of my post: Perception is an energetic exchange between a mind and [...]
This image was snapped as MLOTS passed over Thiessen Crater on the Moon’s farside. Today is the full moon as viewed from Earth, and if you look carefully the new Earth is dimly visible as it rises above the limb of the moon. This was a lucky shot as the window on the docking alignment [...]
Time online and quality of life are intimately related; the relationship is an ongoing transformation, and we’re in the thick of it. We’re in the midst of a massive social transformation, and taking a step back is a natural reaction, and part of the transformative process.
