Biking Rules and Peds

by bluhmr on Flickr

Great article by the prolific Robert Sullivan (he's got two articles in this month's Vogue too, interesting...)about heightened bike and pedestrian conflicts as more and more people take to their feet to get themselves around. Hooray for more people, boo for still not enough space. Yes to a physically protected bike lane on the Brooklyn Bridge roadways to alleviate the congestion on the bike/ped path.

Speaking of which, maybe this article will inspire folks to enter the Biking Rules PSA (i.e., Public Service Announcement) Competition ending this Tuesday. You can win up to $4,000 in cash, and will be eligible for the Biking Rules Film Festival at BAM. What are you waiting for?

Team Amsterdam Wins!

A great NYT description here. We'll be posting the presentations plus photos on New Amsterdam Bike Slam shortly.

Working with Spot Colors in Adobe Illustrator

An eye-opening material on issues with spot colors while using royalty free vectors from iStockphoto. "Picture this: You need an image for a project, and the deadline is looming. You download a cool illustration from iStock, place it in your layout and send it off to the printer. An hour later, the printer phones you back.



“Excellent,” you think, “my print job is done!” But nooo, the printer is calling to let you know that your file contains 15 spot colors, and if you really want 15 different plates made and run through the press, it’s going to cost you at least ten times more and take a whole week to finish. There goes your budget and your deadline.



Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!? Spot colors? How did those get there? And what are they, anyway?" Continue to full article.

SS Valentine Day Vector Design

Lebaran Telah Tiba: Mudik sambil Bermaafan Yuk!!!!

Tak terasa sebentar lagi hari kemangan akan tiba, seluruh umat islam didunia merayakannya dengan penuh syukur. Kemudian hari lebaran juga diisi dengan silaturahim dan pemotongan ketupat. Selalu menjadi tradisi umat islam di indonesia yaitu memotong ketupat, ketupat sudah menjadi khas lebaran, ketika melihat ketupat hati kita selalu tersentuh akan hari-hari nan fitrah dimana Allah SWT menghapuskan semua dosa-dosanya yang telah lampau dan diri kita sudah suci seperti halnya bayi yang baru lahir.

Sebelum hari itu tiba, bagi warga yang merantau pastinya sudah bersiap-siap untuk mudik, mudik juga sudah menjadi tradisi di Indonesia, karena apa ? Karena di hari nan fitri, kita sebagai umat islam harus menjalin hubungan silaturahmi yang erat antar keluarga, sanak famili & tetangga, guna menjalin persahabatan di alam dunia dan guna pertanggung jawaban kita di akhirat kelak.

Mungkin tepatnya Hari : Jum'at Tanggal : 11 September 2009 Pukul : 09.43 adalah hari terakhir saya untuk berasyik-asyikan di dunia maya, karena hari besok adalah hari saya mudik dan mudah-mudahan Allah SWT memudahkan segala urusan saya serta kalian semua yang membaca tulisan ini.

Mungkin tak usah banyak basa-basi
Langsung aja ke tujuan....
Saya Irawanqq
ingin meminta maaf
apabila irawanqq punya salah kepada kawan2 se dunia maya
baik yang disengaja maupun tidak sengaja
baik itu berupa ucapan
atau kata2 sindirian
kepada temen2
di hari nan fitri ini
mari kita bermaaf-maafan

dan selamat menempuh hari-hari kemangan
Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri
Mohon maaf lahir dan bathin

Akhirul kata
wassalam,

Award keberapa yg pernah terpasang disini.... Dari temen2 blogger
