Day 13: Daft Punk vs The Office #100DaysOfMusic

Day 13. Daft Punk vs The Office. I had fun with this one! This is the chords and melody from Daft Punk's Get Lucky, but instrumented and arranged the same as the theme from The Office. It's also my first time using a vocoder on my own voice!

@dominik I thought I wanted great circle lines, but it turns out they don't actually look very good in the webmercator projection

Day 13: Curved Lines for Atlas Static Maps #100DaysOfIndieWeb

Yesterday, Amy was asking if there was a library for drawing curved lines between two points on a map. She wants to use this for her travel posts, which say for example "Tokyo to Boston". We noticed that Facebook draws curved lines when they show a planned trip. Martijn was able to figure out how to reproduce this on Facebook consistently. You have to start by creating a "checkin" post, then add a "traveling to" activity to it. Notice that the line from Portland to Seattle is curved rather than straight, although it doesn't strictly follow a Great Circle line either.

Day 12. This started out as a totally unrelated riff, and by the time I was done adding to it, the original riff didn't make any sense so I deleted it. There are actually 4 different kinds of trumpet tracks in this in order to achieve this semi-realistic result. I was on the fence about adding a faint string section in the background and decided against it in the end. I enjoyed playing with the drum section in this one, using silence to emphasize the trumpet solos.

Curious, how do you have enough user-facing ideas for 100 days? I bet I'd run out after 17 days or so. Otherwise, I should do this!

@shurcool Often finishing one project leads to two more! Also just working through my list of open GitHub issues will take a while!

Day 11: Simpler fonts #100DaysOfIndieWeb

The other day I read a pretty funny blog post called "10 things I learned making the fastest site in the world". It's a little tongue in cheek, but overall has some good tips. One that caught my attention was the section on using web fonts.
