When I created the Canvas project a few months ago, many of you were wondering if a future release would exist where users could upload their own photos. Well, you’re in luck! Collage does just that.
Here are a couple of collages made with the site:

This is an update to my previous post on this project, entitled Simple DropDowns for All.
Simple DropDowns (SDD, for short) is now out of beta (version 0.4) with a new Version 1.0 release.
Check out this screenshot of the new documentation page:
There are several new features in the new release including the much requested onmouseover (as opposed to onclick) activation of the dropdowns, and better event handling for hiding the dropdowns after use. Also, the documentation and usage has been simplified so that the title element now only used to point to a hidden div containing the dropdown menu’s contents.
The new script can be downloaded here:simpledropdowns.js (or minimized: simpledropdowns-min.js).
The homepage for the project is here: http://adam_s.scripts.mit.edu/dropdown/.
And the google code project homepage is here: http://code.google.com/p/dropdowns/.
Well, ladies and gentleman, I’ve finally settled on a blog. For the last few years, I’ve gone from one CMS (Content Management System) to another, trying to find the perfect software for my unique style of blogging.
Joomla was a close second.
As you can see, I created my own template, using “Clean Minimal” (from Theme Lab) as my starting point. So far, I’m loving wordpress. It’s extremely customizable and the administrative backend is user-friendly and feature-packed.
Those of you familiar with my website should recognize this image:
‘Projects’ Page from my old website, http://web.mit.edu/adam_s/www
Well, although that site has served me well over the last two and a half years, it’s time for an upgrade. That is why along with this blog, I am in the development of a brand-spankin’-new website with the same overall feel of this one (thus reinforcing the Adam-Schwartz-Polymath brand name). I’m happy to announce that starting January 1st, 2009, my new website (currently in production) will take the place of the one pictured above.
For those of you who have been to my website after hours (after 2am E.S.T. that is), the following should look familiar:
‘Night’ Page from my old website, http://polymath.mit.edu/www/night
Well, those of you who enjoy out of of focus photographs of the Boston Skyline will be happy to know that the Night website will be getting an upgrade to v2.0 when all of the other new website stuff happens. There may even be a surprise for those of you who decide to visit on January 1st! Who knows…?
Till next time, Adam
