CSS3 Rounded Thumbnail Gallery
CSS3 Logo - Image via Wikipedia
CSS3 is shaping up to be quite promising.
Some of the features and shiny new toys that have me excited most are:
- Typography (via @font-face)
- Animations (via @keyframes and transform)
- Transitions (via transition and transition-delay)
- REAL Rounded Corners (via border-radius)
- Shadows for everything! (via text-shadow and box-shadow)
In this spirit, the following is an interactive rounded thumbnail gallery which was not previously possibly without some serious back-end coding to re-render each individual image as a separate “rounded thumbnail” file (using something like C++/GD or PHP/ImageMagick, etc); and now it’s become just a few lines of CSS using some of the aforementioned CSS3 goodies!
BC$ = Behavior, Content, Money
The goal of the BC$ project is to raise awareness and make changes with respect to the three pillars of information freedom - Behavior (pursuit of interests and passions), Content (sharing/exchanging ideas in various formats), Money (fairness and accessibility) - bringing to light the fact that:
1. We regularly hand over our browser histories, search histories and daily online activities to companies that want our money, or, to benefit from our use of their services with lucrative ad deals or sales of personal information.
2. We create and/or consume interesting content on their services, but we aren't adequately rewarded for our creative efforts or loyalty.
3. We pay money to be connected online (and possibly also over mobile), yet we lose both time and money by allowing companies to market to us with unsolicited advertisements, irrelevant product offers and unfairly structured service pricing plans.
