Check me (my website) out! I’m Responsive!

Emmanuel's ResponsiveA few weeks ago, my friend Jason Fox, redesigned my website to a “responsive” website. My site is now much easier to navigate, no matter what device visitors use.

Responsive web design (often abbreviated to RWD) is a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones) (Wikipedia.com)

Here’s Jason’s explanation: Responsive WordPress Design uses CSS media queries to trigger different layout sets at various screen sizes. No longer will you need to zoom and scroll around when browsing on your mobile phone. No longer will you need to use the WPTouch plugin to make a “Mobile Version” of your website.

In case you’re a visual learner (aren’t we all?), here’s an infographic for you.

Keyless Lock: Unlock Your House with Your Fingerprint

KeylessSick of fumbling with your keys in the dark? Worried about losing your house key? Not comfortable with giving out your key to house keepers or repairmen? Welcome to the world of Keyless & Biometric Locks!

This amazing key-less lock provides ease of entry, with a single scan of a fingerprint. The feature that struck me as most interesting was the ability to enroll or delete users from the system. If you have a housekeeper or repair person you can grant them access at a specific time and day and after that time passes they will no longer have access.

seaboard-grandFor centuries the interface on the black and white piano keyboard has existed without major changes, but recently a new musical instrument called Seaboard was presented by Roli as “The evolution of the piano keyboard.” The Seaboard has a highly pressure-sensitive interface, allowing the musician to manipulate sounds, create modulations on the keys and make tonal changes in a very singular way, it also enables very interesting transitions between acoustic and digital music.

In the video below you can see how the instrument works.
