The Art of the Title Sequence

Cool website collecting title sequences of movies.

“Remember when your heart sank just a little when you realized the Pink Panther movie wasn’t a cartoon?

Then, only a few years later, seeing Edward Gorey’s eerily fantastic opening to ‘Mystery!’ capped with Vincent Price’s name on a headstone had your head spinning at the thought of the kind of stories those etchings could tell…if only the show was based on those illustrations.

Well, we want to see more of that. So watch and remember and create. And if you’ve got something to contribute, send it along.”

Coda Clips

Here’s a nice website for everybody who uses Coda:

“We all love Coda, and we all love how much time we can save using Clips. Coda-Clips.com aims to build a comprehensive repository of Clips from our own libraries and user submissions.”

Instapaper

“A fast, easy, free tool to save web pages for reading later.”

(From Instapaper.)

I’m late here, but this is such a great tool. I use it daily and it has an iPhone version, too. Now I need just an iPhone.

Tumblr-like design for ImmaterialFacts

And again I decided to re-align my blog. I didn’t really use it the last year or so, so I wanted to re-align and change the format. I never wrote long posts even though I thought I would. So, the new format is inspired by Tumblr, a very cool, almost micro-blogging, blog system. It’s hosted which I don’t like that much and my webhosting service doesn’t allow DNS record manipulation, which would have been a good way to integrate Tumblr into my own website. Then there are some other problems:

  • no import for my old posts
  • Search
  • not fully customizable
  • control over content

So, here is my take on a Tumblr-like webpage powered by Wordpress. I hope I’ll really use my weblog from now on. I intend to do so especially for notes to myself and to collect finds from the web. There might be the occational longer post. We’ll see.

dConstruct 2007

This year I attended dConstruct again. As last year it was great. I met many people. Some of them I knew from last years event. And it was good to be back in Brighton. I like the city and I like it even more every time I come back there.

The speakers were great. I’ve learned a lot. Here are some posts from other websites which have good summaries of the event: Garrett Coakley, four starters pt. 01, four starters pt. 02.
