March 28th, 2007Collapsible javascript side-menu
March 21st, 2007I was reading about CSS floating and margins today, and started playing. I came up with this, which would make a nice collapsible side-menu. I’ve seen it done as a full-blown mac style fisheye in similar style, didn’t realise it was so easy to do though! All I did was give the image a negative margin-left value based on the mouse coordinates:
<body onmousemove="handleMove(event)">
var xLimit = 80;
function handleMove(oEvent) {
var img1 = document.getElementById("img1");
var x = oEvent.clientX;
if (x < xLimit) {
img1.style.marginLeft = -x;
} else {
img1.style.marginLeft = -xLimit;
}
}

Clifford Brown’s last ever recording
February 2nd, 2007I just found a snippet of Clifford Brown’s last ever recording before his tragic death in a car accident at age 25. The song is Miles Davis’ bebop standard Donna Lee, made famous by Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker and others. It’s breathtaking stuff, and gut-wrenching to think what Clifford would have gone on to do if he hadn’t died at such a young age.
Listen here.
