Snowdin.com on FWA

Published on Jan. 02, 2009

This holiday season, Colle + McVoy created an internal project called Snowdin. Snowdin.com is a website created in Anaglyph 3D (red + blue 3d glasses):

To help relieve the stresses of the holiday season, we created a winter retreat at snowdin.com. There you can frolic with a yeti, pilot a blimp or deliver the evening post to the town folk. No need for long johns or an electric blanket. All you’ll need is your 3-D glasses.

I developed the main site, the shell that holds all of the content. My friend / co-worker Andrew Charon developed the awesome Mount FrostBite Q*Bert game and we had some help from PopLife with some other games. The whole site is sprinkled with downloads and activities.

On December 25th, Snowdin.com received an FWA Site of the Day award, so we are all very pleased with the sites success.

I usually don’t want any visibility of an operating system or any other process during an installation, performance or otherwise. From my experience with Processing, I have noticed the solution is often different than the last, its [...]

Toxiclibs.js gets VerletPhysics2D

It’s been four months since I initially started creating Toxiclibs.js a JavaScript version of toxiclibs. So far, over 65 ‘classes’ have been written. These classes cover a wide spectrum of functionality that I believe can be helpful on any web project. There are currently 18 examples on the site, most of which have focused on [...]

Toxiclibs.js – open-source computational design

I have initiated a new open-source project titled Toxiclibs.js. Toxiclibs.js is a JavaScript port of Karsten Schmidt‘s expansive toxiclibs library. Contributed libraries are an excellent perk of using Processing, and to me there is no library that stands as strong as Karsten’s. Toxiclibs encapsulates a lot of the complexity involved with common computational design problems [...]

The Simple Solution

In 2007, I completed a fun project that I call Social Murmurs. The project required sensing when people sat on a bench, but at the time I had limited electronics experience, so I found the simplest solution I could.

Phase Shifts

My recent past has been full of transition and I’m very excited to announce the recent changes in my life. Recently… I participated in the Twin Cities Maker Minne-Faire; I stayed up for more than 24 hours straight with a group of talented friends building a website for Child Protection International (new site not up [...]
