Juxtapoz posted an interview with Nouar this week about the upcoming exhibition.
Her twisted imagery looks booth childish and commercial. Maybe that’s because she used to work for Nickelodeon.^_^ Check out her gallery for more of this nice imagery.

Iamcam posted a good hack on his blog. It makes your unchecked checkboxes show up in the $_POST on the server.
It’s very simple and doesn’t need javascript.
<input type="hidden" name="box1" value="0" />
<input type="checkbox" name="box1" value="1" />
If the checkbox is not checked then the value of the hidden input is submited, else the value of the checkbox.

The following is a simple dos trick to create a playlist of all your mp3′s.
- go to the start menu
- click run
- enter cmd => this opens a black dos window
- type dir /b/s *.mp3 > c:\mp3list.m3u
When this command finishes, a file will be created under c: with a list of all your mp3 files.
The m3u file is a plain text file with links to all your music. Some audio applications us this format for playlists.

scraping the web

I’ve been working on a tool to scrape urls. The idea is to have a tool that checks my sites for invalid code, urls and images.
Below some tools and ideas that I might consider using
- Wget can be used to spider a website (list url’s, not download) with the following command: wget -r –spider -o logfile.txt http://www.myurl.com
- ruby: open-uri & hapricot.
- php is not a good idea since scripts can only run for a certain time. (php on commandline is ok)
- put the results in a mysql database so I can link it with other data
check for:
- Valid html
- 404
- sitespeed
- image compression (jpegsnoop for photoshop compression, Smush it)
- readability
- pagerank
- internal links (links on my domain to pages on my domain)
- external links (links on my domain to external domains)
- received links (who links to me and what alt text is used, page rank)
- keywords
Try to :
curl into Google analytics and import the results in mysql

Last weekend I bought “Le cadavre et le sofa”. “A small book by Mexican illustrator Tony Sandoval.
Background info
The book started out as a collection of drawings for a film script. Pierre Paquet had asked Tony to do a personal comic for the Discover comic serie. At that time Tony had been working on a little film project. He had made some drawings as a storyboard. The story was still far from finished, but the editors encouraged him him to send it in as a rough for the comic book.
Sandoval wanted to make it look like a kids book, but with an adult story. He got inspired by Peter Jackson’s : The Feebles (puppets telling a story of drugs and violence) and Patrick Süskind’s “The Story of Mr. Sommer”.
P. Paquet liked it and the result was “Le cadavre et le sofa”.
The story
Chrisitian, a local boy has gone missing. As a result, none of the kids dare to come out and play. Except for Polo. He enjoys exploring the local countryside. On one of his solo trips, he encounters Sophie. Together they get plunged into the mystery surrounding Christian’s death.
When they find the boy’s body, they decide to check his decomposition at regular intervals. Together the spend the summer in a sofa that they pulled to the scene of the crime. Slowly the tragic story around Crhristian unfolds.
Tony Sandoval uses a rather childish drawing style combined with watercolour. Which results in a rather sharp contrast with the storyline.
Enjoy reading
