Good news for web designers: now there is an alternative to sIFR or cufon. Google has introduced the Google Font Directory and Google Font API, a free web service that allows website owners the ability to utilize other fonts outside of the Web-safe fonts cadre in an easy, convenient, and resource-efficient way.

Font Previewer helps you preview and customize the fonts. Just copy-paste the generated code to your site!

Tête de lit en bois

By Akim Elzam in Anywhere  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

J'ai fait une tête de lit en bois pour mes filles, qui ont pris l'habitude de regarder à la télé en se tenant directement contre le mur. Cela est très simple:

  1. J'ai acheté 10 planches en bois (vous pouvez vous rapprocher des chantiers de construction, ils peuvent vous aider).
  2. Je les ai coupées à une hauteur d'1 mètre
  3. J'ai assemblé 9 planches sur la verticale et une seule sur l'horizontale, en utilisant des clous
  4. Je l'ai peint en lilas (à la demande de mes filles)
  5. Elles se sont chargées par la suite de la déco (de petites poupées, des fleurs, des dessins, des photos). 

Bon bricolage !

Perpetuum mobile. Comment faire de petits changements dans notre vie ? Je vous proposerais de :

  1. Emprunter des chemins différents pour aller au boulot. 
  2. Bricoler (remplacer les ampoules dans la maison, peindre la table de cuisine, réparer la vélo etc).
  3. Renoncer à la voiture pour une semaine.
  4. Prendre le petit déj même si vous ne le faites jamais
  5. Renoncer au dîner un jour par semaine
  6. Saluer le voisin qui ne vous salue pas
  7. Commander un plat que vous n'avez jamais essayé
  8. Déplacer votre bureau à ce que vous ayez plein de lumière
  9. Acheter des petites plantes vertes pour décorer votre bureau
  10. Changer de portable

Origin of the names of the days

By Akim Elzam in Anywhere  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

The names of the days are in some cases derived from Teutonic deities or, such as in Romance languages, from Roman deities.

Sunday

The name comes from the Latin dies solis, meaning "sun's day": the name of a pagan Roman holiday. It is also called Dominica (Latin), the Day of God. The Romance languages, languages derived from the ancient Latin language (such as French, Spanish, and Italian), retain the root.

Monday

The name comes from the Anglo-Saxon monandaeg, "the moon's day". This second day was sacred to the goddess of the moon.

Tuesday

This day was named after the Norse god Tyr. The Romans named this day after their war-god Mars:dies Martis.

You foot is the same size as the distance between your wrist and elbow. You can put you foot in that area and it will fit.
