I jumped over from Raphael back to Processing again today and built a visualizer for Twitter data.

Last week I worked up an audio visualizer in Flash for a friend that yielded some nice results; doing the same thing with canvas and JavaScript requires a more roundabout method that is less accurate but more gratifying from a coding perspective.

I have been experimenting with the new HTML5 canvas element and trying to get up to speed on the syntax.

By default (or at least in the default configuration provided under the LG TinyMCE extension for ExpressionEngine), TinyMCE will remove the alt attribute if it is empty. Obviously, for accessibility and validation reasons, this is highly undesirable and needs correcting.

After a stupid mistake that led to catastrophic data loss, Easy! Reader is back, has moved to a new platform, and will soon be graced by a few new voices.
