Sean Christmann has been playing around with HTML5 video and canvas tags, specifically getting creative with the Canvas.drawImage() api call. Exploding video and 3D video–very cool! Â I realize that in the last few months we’ve done quite a few posts on some of the HTML 5 brilliance that is popping up all over the web and I’d like to encourage any readers of Digital Media Minute to go ahead and send any pointers to HTML 5 excellence that they find, or especially examples of it that they create themselves. It is interesting how a new tool could breathe such life into the creative process and inspire people to go further than they perhaps are used to in their creative coding efforts.
Make Your Own Proxy
Is there a shorter instructional video on how to make your own free proxy on the internet? Make a proxy using Google App Engine and Python using this tutorial that comes in at under three minutes.  The utility of proxies is increasing all the time as individual deem the need for internet access  at work or at school to be so great that it’s worth making an effort to get around the restrictions of their school or employer by making use of proxies. Any rate, whether or not you yourself have a need for a proxy this is a pretty nifty little programming task that you could set for yourself as part of your ongoing education.
