Just in time for Halloween.
Great mashup of my favorites… “Art, Movies, and Flash”.
My time was forty minutes. I stayed up too late solving this puzzle. The artwork reminds me of Bosch which we studied in high school humanities.
We have been making a few short weekend car trips with the kids lately. So I put together a few PocketMods for them. I have the standard sodoku, tic-tac-toe, and capture the squares games. I usually make booklets full of each game. I made some new ones last night. Battleship, you know the one, using paper grids. The other one is called Circuits, be the first to complete the circuit by connecting your dots to make a path.
I just uploaded two new PocketMods for car maintenance, add them to a booklet, print it out and keep ithe glove box of your car.
Its kinda hard to explain. Just go to the site and have a look, if you don’t grok it never-mind, stop reading now. I am not sure what I would do with one, but half the fun is finding out. It seems like the perfect marriage of Maker and Crafter. A ambient device with personality. I think it would be fun to turn one into a physical avatar. Right now they have a sign-up list on their site to get a sample prototype. I have filled one out already, I wonder if multiple submissions would help?
I hope I get one!
Added another PocketMod today. This one is a simple drawing of wiring an ethernet clip, based on the T-568B standard. The only reason for using that standard is because I had some other network cables that were the same already. Everytime I need to make a cable I do a search on google for the diagram. So I decided it was about time to create a PocketMod for one.
Here a quick little function for ordinal numbers using actionscript. I didn’t even know they were called ordinal numbers! I found some snippet of perl and converted it to AS for Flash.
function ordinal(number) {
if (number%100>10 && number%100<14) {
suffix = "th";
} else {
switch (number%10) {
case 0 :
suffix = "th";
break;
case 1 :
suffix = "st";
break;
case 2 :
suffix = "nd";
break;
case 3 :
suffix = "rd";
break;
default :
suffix = "th";
break;
}
}
return number+suffix;
}
// usage
trace (ordinal(25));
Produces: 25th
Useful for pretty dates.
PocketMod is a small handheld booklet that you print out and fold. A very handy disposable organizer. It is a flash program that allows you to print mini pages on a piece of paper, so that you can refer to it later. You can make of book of Sudoku to keep you busy in line at the DMV, or a weekly calendar for appointments.
Here is list of some PocketMod Modules that I have made.
The forums are down so there is not a good way to distribute these. I had fun making them. Just download the offline player and copy the downloads into the folder. I hope someone can make use of these.
