“[The Islamabad high commissioner] issued a document stating that “the sculpture/artwork looks like a football but in fact is not a football and primarily this object is not for using as a football but is an artwork.” But it was too late: someone had destroyed the ball, and it disappeared without a trace. I never quite found out who.”

“it could be that at around two years old infants develop a solid physical or visual self-concept, but still have little mental self-concept. In this case all the test is showing is that we know what we look like; perhaps we don’t develop our self-concept until much later in life.”

Q: about CSS animations

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:18:00 +0000

http://leaverou.me/2011/10/animatable-a-css-transitions-gallery/#comment-352730642 #CSS #animations

How would you couple CSS animations to events? The only ones available in CSS seem to be psuedo-events such as :hover, :active, :focus.

Would you add a class that triggered a CSS animation with e.g. one iteration? You would probably then want to remove the class in order to trigger the animation again if the event was fired.

It seems confusing as you almost certainly want animations to be event based, or the animations have limited triggering options (page load, :hover, :active, :focus)

4chan's Chris Poole: Facebook & Google Are Doing It Wrong

4chan's Chris Poole: Facebook & Google Are Doing It Wrong:

“The portrait of identity online is often painted in black and white,” Poole said. “Who you are online is who you are offline.” That rosy view of identity is complemented with a similarly oversimplified view of anonymity. People think of anonymity as dark and chaotic, Poole said.
But human identity doesn’t work like that online or offline. We present ourselves differently in different contexts, and that’s key to our creativity and self-expression. “It’s not ‘who you share with,’ it’s ‘who you share as,’” Poole told us. “Identity is prismatic.”

“The person charged with translating 字典.词典, being familiar with online sites called “dict.” may have written that down on a piece of paper and given it to the sign painter, who misread the final “t” as “k”. That’s not so far-fetched as it may seem, since Chinese cursive styles sometimes write “t” in a way that might be confused with “k”. It’s common to see “s” being mistaken for “p” and “l” for “t”, or “G” being mistaken for “J”.”
