Today I built a simple, one page website for my friend Alex Cuff. Simple and beautiful. It uses CSS3 animation to fade in the title and the links and also features his latest tweet at the bottom.
The cool thing (and it’s the first time I’ve given this a try) is that it utilises responsive design. Mobile devices, or screen sizes under 1024 pixels wide, hides the latest tweet at the bottom of the page.
I have no doubt that these are going to be the “next big thing”; they’re awesome and they are getting pumped into the public eye as a survival fashion product for Rambo wannabe guys. I want one! £22 on Firebox.com is way, way to expensive though, so – as they are just carefully braided paracord with a harness clip; I’ll build my own!
I’ve worked out that I could make about 6, maybe 7 of these for under £2-£3, by hand. I need some paracord , a clasp (though I have seen ones made where there is no clasp at all and it just slides on and off – it looks pretty swish) and some crazy knotting know how.
Hello internetz!
I’ll probably post some pics up of when I make it, and then some more of it saving my life, like wrapped round a bears hungry mouth or perhaps me playing cats cradle with it.
