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!

the attributes of web 3.0...

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

How many cofactors for inducing expression of every cell type?

Another revolution in iPSC technology announced: "Also known as iPS cells, these cells can become virtually any cell type in the human body -- just like embryonic stem cells. Then last year, Gladstone Senior Investigator Sheng Ding, PhD, announced that he had used a combination of small molecules and genetic factors to transform skin cells directly into neural stem cells. Today, Dr. Huang takes a new tack by using one genetic factor -- Sox2 -- to directly reprogram one cell type into another without reverting to the pluripotent state." -- So the method invented by Yamanaka is now refined to rely only 1 cofactor and b) directly generate the target cell type from the source cell type (skin to neuron) without the stem like intermediate stage.  It also mentions that oncogenic triggering was eliminated in their testing. Now comparative methods can be used to discover other types...the question is..is Sox2 critical for all types? It may be that skin to neuron relies on Sox2

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
