One of the best posts about this whole “Flash vs HTML5” argument that started after Apple’s iPad announcement.
![The Magic Mirror is just a little demo. It’s still not complete. The idea is to add Facebook-Connect so it would know what kind of [spoiler-alert “product”] to show, personalized on your gender, age and so on..
I’m also not sure if there is a company that would want to make fun of their clients (Dove is just used as an example). So this might just remain a little lab demo.
Note: If you can’t see yourself in the mirror after confirming in the camera settings, just right-click and pick the right webcam driver.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwwtvtyWW41qz72boo1_500.jpg)

Avatar! If you believe the hype about James Cameron’s new movie Avatar, then it’s gonna change how films are made. I haven’t seen it yet, but soon I will. Hopefully in 3D.
Above you see Jake Sully’s Avatar and me. Had to stretch my face and squeeze his to kinda match the proportions.
The Future Post
Sometimes when I write a new post I wish I could set the post date in the future. Why does everything have to be in the past? When I write about an upcoming event, visitors will see it too early and when the event get’s closer that post is already buried with new ones.
As an example, let’s say I plan to attend Chirp, the Twitter Developer Conference. I probably post about it when I first find out about it, or when I get my ticket and maybe after the event already happened. But Nobody will see it right before the event occurs!!
Below a quick example:
The “future posts” appear above normal posts for an easy glance what’s coming up. After the set time passed, a post would fall below the NOW line and you could even update it with news from the event.
A tumblr theme could look like this:
{block:FuturePosts} ... {/block:FuturePosts}
<div id="now">NOW</div>
{block:Posts} ... {/block:Posts}
Actually any kind of stream with chronological posts could use it, even Twitter or Facebook statuses. It would kinda be like a public calendar. Let’s see.
Feeling lucky?
