			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a strong will and motivation, it&#8217;s amazing how much one can learn from tutoring resources shared by both amateur and professional contributors on the web, be it traditional tutorials enriched with illustrations or now thanks to broader bandwidths highly popular screencasts appearing all over the web. Sometimes it is however quite demanding to find sources of really good tutorials that can teach you something you&#8217;ve always wondered about. A really good how-to article on whatever tech-related pops up every now and then, often even on blogs you haven&#8217;t heard of before. Listing the best ones in one place would make it a lot easier to increase the chances of finding a good how-to article about that nifty graphical effect or impressive coding technique you&#8217;ve just stumbled upon.</p>
<p>Let me introduce several tutorial indexing sources whose purpose is to organize and categorize the best of tutorials available online.</p>
<p><span id="more-5194"></span><a href="http://www.tutorial-center.com">Tutorial Center</a></p>
<p>This one is indeed a center with pretty broad scale of issues dealt with in the wide selection of collected links to tutorials. It&#8217;s no use giving examples of categories since you can hardly think of any application that would be left out (at least of the best known ones). Submitted tutorials are examined to make sure only the high quality ones make it to the list.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tutorialvault.net">Tutorial Vault</a></p>
<p>Tutorialvault&#8217;s focused on graphic and coding tutorials which are hand-picked and split into just several main categories, basically those most often sought after like Photoshop, Flash, PHP, CSS ones and a few others. Although Adobe apps apparently lead the chart here, the other categories are nicely filled as well. So far over 2300 pieces and counting.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techscreencast.com">Tech Screencast</a></p>
<p>This collection of screencasts only deals with issues related to web development in its heavier form and contains videos providing useful hints about different technologies and programming/scripting languages used to propel websites &#8211; RoR, ASP, PHP and more. The number of published screencasts is not that high but their quality seems pretty good to me.</p>
<p><a href="http://screencasters.heathenx.org">Bonus: Inkscaper&#8217;s Dreamland</a></p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t resist adding this one at the end, although this resource is purely aimed at the OS vector graphics editor Inkscape and graphics made in it. I must admit I haven&#8217;t used Inkscape much so far but after seeing what these guys can do in it, I knew I had to give it more attention, perhaps as much as GIMP deserves. Should you be a designer or just someone who deals with graphics in their free time, you definitely don&#8217;t wanna pass this valuable screencast.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I discovered two very interesting tech demonstrations at the <a href="http://www.techeblog.com/">TechEBlog</a> which I had to post about. The first is a next generation destruction CG tech demonstration that looks ultra realistic. If they could implement something like that in games it would be awesome.</p>
<p>&#8220;Using particle-based tools, the Extreme Loading technology generates iterative visuals with the added realism of material based physics. According to the developer, it can be used to design a destructible set &#8212; simulations can be run long before the set is built &#8212; and the resulting 3D files can be brought into Maya or comparable package for dressing and compositing.&#8221;</p>
<p>The second video is a dynamically transparent window that responds to the movements of people passing by. Using a camera, passers-by are tracked, and the data is processed by a system that controls custom-built interactive windows on the facade.</p>

Everton from Connected Internet posted an article today that has an image of an incredible looking computer monitor lineup. The linup consists of one 30'' center flat screen monitor and five 20.1'' perimeter flat screens that surround the center lcd monitor. This computer monitor setup needs special multi-monitor software of course that makes it possible to choose what you display on all the single flat screen monitors.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought my dual computer monitor lineup would be something spectacular, how wrong I was. Everton from <a href="http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/04/06/cinemassive-masterplex-30d-probably-the-best-monitor-in-the-world/" title="connected internet" target="_blank">Connected Internet</a> posted an article today that has an image of an incredible looking computer monitor lineup. The linup consists of one 30&#8221; center flat screen monitor and five 20.1&#8221; perimeter flat screens that surround the center lcd monitor.  This computer monitor setup needs special multi-monitor software of course that makes it possible to choose what you display on all the single flat screen monitors. Take a look at the image first to get a better impression.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/files/screens/2007/04/computermonitors.jpg" title="incredible computer monitors" alt="incredible computer monitors" height="269" width="400" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1387"></span></p>
<p>Looks incredible does not it ? Well the look of this flat screen monitor setup is not the only incredible thing, the price is incredible as well: <a href="http://www.cinemassivedisplays.com/MasterPlex_30D.php" title="purchase computer monitors" target="_blank">$7,499</a>. The primary monitor has a maximum resolution of 2560&#215;1600 and the five 20.1&#8221; flat screens one of 1600&#215;1200. The number of total active pixels from this monitor setup is almost 8 million ! It seems that the only input is a dual link dvi-d connection in the central flat screen monitor.</p>
<p>If you would have the money for flat screen monitors like this would you purchase it or would you invest the money elsewhere ?</p>
