Thing-a-Day 2011 #22 - Hershey Fonts in JS - on a Sticky Note!

This post used to be on Posterous. I rescued my posts before Posterous shut down and am now sharing them here.

Ok, this is more a kind of clever image arrangement than anything else, but it looks nice, I think.

Screenshot of web interface with a text area and rendered text in Hershey script font. The rendered text is at an angle and atop a background image as though it is written on a sticky note. There is a great deal of text, causing the font size to be reduced. It is filler text, so I won't repeat it here.

You can play with it here: http://schmarty.net/hershey_js_demo/index.html

Until I change it again!

Thing-a-Day 2011 #14 - Sticky Note Tweet template for Unicorn

This post used to be on Posterous. I rescued my posts before Posterous shut down and am now sharing them here.

I've been toying with the idea of cool automatically generated plots for the Unicorn pen plotter. This one is an experiment in laying out a tweet for plotting on a sticky note.

It should be possible, layer, to use this as a template for creating new plots! Could be kind of fun.

Feel free to grab the file on Thingiverse.
