		<title>Dynamic Colour (Color) Harmony with Actionscript</title>
		<pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2008 09:52:44 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  If you&#8217;re familiar with the fab Nodebox, a Python based app for creating 2D graphics, then you may have come across the really impressive colour library. It allows you to do wonderful things with colour such as finding complementary colours to a base colour and even finding colours that go with keywords such as [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Design and the Elastic Mind</title>

		<description><![CDATA[  Last Tuesday 19th Feb I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for Design and the Elastic Mind at MoMA where Cinema Redux is one of the 200 featured exhibits in this amazing new exhibition.
I thought there may be a few hundred people at the launch night - turned out there was more [...] ]]></description>

		<title>This is not a blog</title>
		<pubDate>Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:09:23 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  This site has always had a very selfish aim in that it&#8217;s focused on being a place where I can publish my latest experiments, code and projects. It&#8217;s never been a place where I post links that often to other stuff or even thoughts about things I&#8217;ve seen or bumped into.
So, I&#8217;ve been looking [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Typographic Creatures are Back</title>
		<pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:00:57 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  I just couldn&#8217;t leave it alone, but those pesky typographic creatures made from the titles of the posts on this site are back having been completely rewritten in ActionScript 3!
Each creature is made up from the letters from the title of each post, and the speed is dependant on their age - younger = [...] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  &#8220;If you look like your passport photo, you&#8217;re too ill to travel.&#8221; &#8212; Will Kommen
On February 8th I&#8217;ll be speaking at The Lighthouse in Glasgow for Urban Learning Space. This will be my first trip to Glasgow so I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing the city.
Then on February 19th it&#8217;s off to my all-time favorite [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Holy Typography Batman!</title>
		<pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 12:29:00 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  I was looking through some old files the other day (like you do at the end of a year) and came across this old typography experiment done in Processing.
If you have a copy of my book, Analog In, Digital Out, you would have seen some of the stills from this sequence. It uses the [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Collision Based Layout</title>
		<pubDate>Mon, 31 Dec 2007 14:55:37 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  One of the things I&#8217;m always keen to explore are systems for dynamic layout of content - whether that be the positioning of photographs, type or sections of an interface.
I&#8217;ve played around with Treemap algorithms, which can look really great and can cope with lots of objects that always fit inside a predefined space. [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Visualising Blog Activity</title>
		<pubDate>Sat, 24 Nov 2007 11:24:43 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  With the latest version of this site I&#8217;ve tried to look at representing blog activity by using the number of comments to &#8220;agitate&#8221; as it were the pixels in the thumbnail for a blog post.
So if there&#8217;s no comments the image just stays still. If there&#8217;s a few comments the image starts to dance [...] ]]></description>

		<pubDate>Fri, 23 Nov 2007 15:14:38 +0000</pubDate>

		<description><![CDATA[  I was clearing a few files from my harddrive the other day and came across some old sound visualisation stuff that I built a while back in Processing.
So I whacked them up to Vimeo so you can take a look. These all use the same core algorithm but with slight iterations or different visual [...] ]]></description>
