Visualising Your Html Markup Via Siteograph

paintalicious.jpg

Here is a website graph of my blog. It’s very cool visualizer for WebSites that traverses the HTML of a page and then turns it into a pretty graph. When I first came across structured content graph last year I dismissed it as useless, but then I actually started analysing what it showed. In doing so, it colors the graph nodes based on what type of HTML element they represent: blue: for links (the A tag) red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags) green: for the DIV tag violet: for images (the IMG tag) yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags) orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags) black: the HTML tag, the root node gray: all other tag…

It’s quite a wonderful toy, even though the Java® applet is a poor performer. It will be interesting to see the structured markup a year from now, maybe it will randomly transform into a more painterly palette. You can see a whole gallery of generated DOM graphs by looking at the websitesasgraphs tag on Flickr. Check out Siteograph: Link.

Maxim Velcovsky’s Mint Series

Maxim Velcovsky is one of the Czech Republic’s leading young artists. Most of his work is in porcelain and involves ‘reimagining’ everyday objects; among his best known pieces are a vase in the shape of a Wellington boot and a porcelain version of a typical water-cooler paper cup. He is also known for a huge fibreglass crucifix, which stands in a Protestant church in Hradec Kralove. Some of my favorite artworks by Velcovsky (pictured) are taken from a series called Delicatessen, produced for London store, Mint.

Moo NoteCards: Customized With Your Flickr Stream

moonotes.jpg

Bringing digital photos to print, Moo’s newest product also encourages offline correspondence. Much like their original mini cards, Moo prints images uploaded from a Flickr, Bebo or Habbo account (or directly through their site) onto a small square 10×10cm note-sized cardboard sheets, with envelopes, that are printed with your Flickr pix. Just like with Moo Cards, you can pick a different image for every card. You can personalise the back of your cards in two different ways. There’s 6 lines of larger text for a main message, and at the bottom of the cards, there’s 4 lines of small text, for things like a photographers credit, the name of the photo, or your website url.

A “magic flap” folds to prop the cards upright for display and they come with envelopes for mailing. Perfect all-purpose cards, an outlet for amateur photographers and a great gift to boot, Moo NoteCards are Hallmark 2.0.

Doris Salcedo, born in 1958 in Bogota, Colombia, is a leading member of a new generation of artists who have achieved international acclaim during the past eight years, partly as a result of their choosing to live and work in their countries of birth. This installation by Doris Salcedo was part of the 8th International Istanbul Biennial. Eighty Artists from 40 countries participated in the 8th Biennial under the conceptual frame “Poetic Justice.” The sculpture shown here is a site-specific installation (untitled), filling the gap between a row of buildings with a staggering 1,600 wooden chairs.
