One of us would check it out, and keep it for as long as possible, renewing it for the maximum number of times allowed. Then the other would grab it before the librarian could put it back on the shelf, and repeat the process. </p> <p>We did this for years. I am really surprised my parents never bought us a copy, but to their credit, they remembered this and bought my daughter a copy when she was about 5 years old. </p> <p>Ed Emberley teaches that if you can draw a few basic shapes (circle, square, triangle, lines, dots, and a few numbers and letters), you can draw anything that you can imagine. From building a heart shape from two circles and a triangle to more complicated things like castles, dragons, and even the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_flag" target="_blank">Canadian flag</a>, Ed shows how easy it really is.</p> <p>But it's not "just a drawing book"...it's a whole lot more. It's a child's first technical how-to manual. It sets them on the right path for acquiring the skills needed to self-educate. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93243688@N00/3024269066"><img style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; display: block; border-top: medium none; border-right: medium none" alt="Ed Emberley's Drawing Book: Make A World" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/3024269066_985b627666_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" /></a></p> <p style="font-size: 0.8em" class="zemanta-img-attribution" align="center">Image by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/93243688@N00/3024269066">Austin Kleon</a> via Flickr</p> <p></p> <p>It's really good for teaching kids how to follow step-by-step instructions, especially ones that contain no text...a skill that will come in handy later in life if they have to build IKEA furniture. </p> <p>It also teaches a valuable life skill by changing how you look at the world. It teaches that anything in life that seems too complicated and hard to do, is made much easier when you analyze it and break it down into much simpler parts. The earlier in life a child learns this, the more doors will be open to them, and the list of possibilities greatly increased. </p> <p>It's not enough to tell a child that they can accomplish anything in life that they set their mind to. They need to be taught how, and this book is a great place to start.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Purchasing this book through my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316789720?ie=UTF8&tag=freeprogeboo-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0316789720" target="_blank">Amazon affiliate link</a> will not increase your price and is a great way to show your appreciation to me for introducing you to this book.</em></p> <div class="zemanta-related"> <h6 style="font-size: 1em" class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta</h6> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.coolhunting.com/culture/ed-emberley-fri.php">Ed Emberley and Friends</a> (coolhunting.com) </li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2010/07/23/draw-a-sasquatch-the.html">Draw a Sasquatch the Ed Emberly Way</a> (boingboing.net) </li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://laist.com/2010/08/04/last_week_to_see_ed_emberley_friend.php">The Creatures, Devils and Weirdos of Ed Emberley & Friends at Scion Space</a> (laist.com) </li> </ul> </div> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px" class="zemanta-pixie"><img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; float: right; border-left-style: none" class="zemanta-pixie-img" alt="" src="http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=28a5b637-0c11-4b28-b64d-fd0d7d8c4e70" /></div> Apphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-67636919270456369242009-04-05T05:31:00.001-04:002012-03-05T16:35:13.565-05:00Free Header Graphic: Peachy<div align="left">

It was on a card included with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_%28game%29">Masterpiece game</a>.<br /><br />My first impression of it was "If they let this guy be a famous painter, then anybody can become one."<br /><br />I was not very impressed. Something about it was very child-like and seemed not much more skilled than the average child's crayon drawings hanging on the fridge of most American families.<br /><br />Since I was a child myself, I expected more from a "great artist". I expected things to look real. I was more likely to be impressed by a painting that looked like a photograph, or where it seemed like you could reach in and pick a piece of fruit right out of the still life and take a bite.<br /><br />I am still impressed by that kind of art, but I gained a greater appreciation for paintings like Van Gogh's bedroom once I realized what made Van Gogh's paintings great was something that couldn't be seen in the average postcard sized print...the brush strokes.<br /><br />Van Gogh put more work into those brush strokes than anything else. That man could paint a canvas totally black, void of any other color, and it be a masterpiece...full of emotion...and motion.<br /><br />OK...now that I have shared that with you, here is the real reason for my post:<br /><br />I was searching for somewhere to buy a copy of the painting, as a large poster, for my daughter.<br /><br />She wants one free of any extra added details, no captions, no borders, no frame...large and reasonably priced. So I was searching for one and was unsuccessful. If you know where to find one, please post a link in the comments.<br /><br />While I was searching, I did come across a few cool sites & images to share.<br /><br />The first is <a href="http://www.vangogh3d.co.uk/">Van Gogh 3D</a>, where his bedroom was recreated as a 3D model by Pete Clements, not once but twice, and both are quite impressive.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.vangogh3d.co.uk/josephroulin/index.html">first model</a> was created way back in 1993 on an old Acorn A3000, and features the unseen view of the bedroom.<br /><br />You can read a bit more information at the <a href="http://www.btinternet.com/%7Epeter.clements/vangogh/art.htm">artist's older site</a>, while the site still exists. It is scheduled to be closed for a revamp soon, and when the site reopens the Van Gogh stuff will not be included. So go take a look while you still can. The extra information is worth reading.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.vangogh3d.co.uk/bedroomanimation/bedroom.htm">second model</a> was created in 2003 and is Van Gogh's entire yellow house, and you can go on a virtual tour and explore it. It will require the Viewpoint Media Player browser plugin, as the entire thing was created in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Atmosphere">Adobe Atmosphere</a>.<br /><br />If you are a Mac user, you will miss out on this, as there isn't a plugin for Mac available, and since Adobe discontinued development on the Atmosphere project, there likely will never be one. I miss out on this because my old piece of crap PC can't handle it. I'll have to wait till I am on a better machine to explore it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.candleinthewindstudio.com/gilsportfolio.html"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qlCAUZtia6Q/SEjUnB0kpFI/AAAAAAAAAVA/tFwG0dXA-iM/s400/bedroom-wood.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208646736022905938" border="0" /></a>Now the other website I found is that of a sculptor named <a href="http://www.candleinthewindstudio.com/gilsportfolio.html">Gil Russell</a>, who carved the bedroom scene in wood, adding the figures of Vincent Van Gogh and his painter buddy, Paul Gaugin, just to make it that much more interesting. It all sits atop a wooden box painted to resemble "Starry Night".<br /><br />So enjoy those links and then take a few minutes to see if you can find that poster my daughter wants. She would really appreciate it.Apphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-46308275711578526832008-05-19T16:05:00.004-04:002012-03-05T16:42:43.473-05:00Silver ButtonsAnother batch of blank buttons for you to have some fun with.<br />

Normally, I would include a screenshot of the web page in case <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?action=profile;u=2" target="_blank">mouser</a> wants to <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> it. </p> <p>The problem was, if he decided to blog both, the pages were similar enough that they could be mistaken as being the same image. It wouldn't look right on the blog.</p> <p>One of them linked to an <a href="http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/resources/modem-emulator/" target="_blank">article</a> about a throttled proxy for the purpose of web designers being able to see what the experience of visiting their site would be for dialup users, at various speeds. </p> <p>Something about the content of that article hit close to home and made me think of all the time I was stuck on dialup with the old P1.</p> <p>So I opened up Paintshop Pro and started playing around. </p> <p>I took a photo of the monitor from my old P1 computer and a screenshot of Firefox from this computer, combined it with some text and drew the snail's body with my mouse. </p> <p>Like magic, this little guy appeared on my screen. I think he is cute and has a lot of personality. My daughter named him Laggy.</p> <p>Laggy moves at a blazing dialup speed of 33.6k. He doesn't talk, verbally. Every idea and feeling he wants to express, appears on his monitor. Read his screen and you basically read his mind.</p> <p>I plan to continuing working on this idea and improving it as much as I can, although I don't think it will get much better than it is right now. </p> <p>I wish I was as good of a digital artist as <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?action=profile;u=13" target="_blank">nudone</a>. Maybe I will throw this idea in his direction and see if he wants to take the idea and expand on it. I think it could become something great in the hands of someone with real talent and skill. Laggy could be the perfect compliment to <a href="http://www.wtfcody.com/" target="_blank">Cody</a>...a sort of side kick or friend.</p> Apphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-1147506837585260762006-05-13T03:53:00.000-04:002007-11-18T06:24:41.753-05:00Free icons for developersI came across a great site today that has an immense collection of free, quality icon images that developers can use in their projects. The <a href="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/" target="_blank">Silk collection</a> is really cool!<br /><br />They are published with a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/" target="_blank">Creative Commons license</a>, so as long as you give the guy credit and include a link to his site in your about box, you are free to use them any way you wish in your projects, including making derivative works of them.<br /><br />They are in .png format but they can be easily converted to .bmp or .ico.<br /><br />How can you go wrong?<br /><br />So head on over to <a href="http://www.famfamfam.com" target="_blank">FamFamFam</a> and check them out!Apphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.com0
