DAD runs wild.


As a self trained illustrator and lover of art and art history, I still keep a tab on the works of animators, designers and artists immersed in the digital media that are available to us these days. Recently on a recent surfscapade of the net I discovered the following animation.

DAD at work

Needless to say the crude art work work perfectly with the animations frenetic style and makes a hilarious little clip. I was so impressed by the title character (which just happens to match an acronym of a very important program in my framework) that I created an illustration of DAD that I plan to put on a T-shirt. I also created versions of DAD with the suit case and hat. Of course only those that have seen this video will recognize the character , sort of an inside joke then to the people that enjoy this type of work. If you are interested in getting a copy of the graphic file (.psd format) to print your own shirt I can send it to you, just send me an email and I'll send it over. I am using the popular vista prints site for the shirts at the moment.

Note: The original author of the animation is sakupen, so make sure to head over to his site and check out other aspects of his work. You can buy official gear from the site as well.

This animation was the second one made, the first called DAD's home was also excellent check it out when you get a chance.

DAD's home


enjoy!

As the US economy continues to suffer the doldrums of stagnant investment in many industries, belt tightening budgets in many of the largest cities and continuous rounds of lay offs at some of the oldest of corporations, it is little comfort to those suffering through economic problems that what is happening now, has happened before. True, the severity of the downturn might have been different but the common factors of people and businesses being forced to do more with less is the theme of the times. Like environmental shocks to an ecosystem, stresses to the economic system lead to people hunkering down to last the storm, but it is instructive to realize that during the storm, all that idle time in the shelter affords people the ability to solve previous or existing problems. Likewise, economic downturns enable enterprising individuals and corporations the ability to make bold decisions with regard to marketing , sales or product focus that can lead to incredible gains as the economic ...

Engineers versus Programmers

I have found as more non formally trained people enter the coding space, the quality of code that results varies in an interesting way. The formalities of learning to code in a structured course at University involve often strong focus on "correctness" and efficiency in the form of big O representations for the algorithms created. Much less focus tends to be placed on what I'll call practical programming, which is the type of code that engineers (note I didn't use "programmers" on purpose) must learn to write. Programmers are what Universities create, students that can take a defined development environment and within in write an algorithm for computing some sequence or traversing a tree or encoding and decoding a string. Efficiency and invariant rules are guiding development missions. Execution time for creating the solution is often a week or more depending on the professor and their style of teaching code and giving out problems. This type of coding is d...

AgilEntity Architecture: Action Oriented Workflow

Permissions, fine grained versus management headache The usual method for determining which users can perform a given function on a given object in a managed system, employs providing those Users with specific access rights via the use of permissions. Often these permissions are also able to be granted to collections called Groups, to which Users are added. The combination of Permissions and Groups provides the ability to provide as atomic a dissemination of rights across the User space as possible. However, this granularity comes at the price of reduced efficiency for managing the created permissions and more importantly the Groups that collect Users designated to perform sets of actions. Essentially the Groups serve as access control lists in many systems, which for the variable and often changing environment of business applications means a need to constantly update the ACL’s (groups) in order to add or remove individuals based on their ability to perform cert...
