Cupcake-tastic Lorem Ipsum Alternatives

Posted on February 22, 2013 by Ashley Myers | Comments Off

When designers are working on the look and feel of a website, they often use Lorem ipsum to temporarily fill out the content:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras eleifend faucibus nunc nec venenatis. Ut lacinia ligula ut est laoreet vitae blandit metus vulputate. Sed at metus urna, ac bibendum urna. Maecenas est metus, mattis ut egestas quis, semper nec odio. (courtesy Lipsum.com)

Variations of this legitimate Latin text have been used since the 1960’s. As traditional Lorem ipsum is a lil’ old school at this point, I wanted to make sure all were aware of the awesome alternatives!

Cupcake ipsum

Cupcake ipsum dolor sit amet brownie I love applicake. Faworki donut gummies. Biscuit chocolate cake candy canes dessert dessert sesame snaps soufflé ice cream powder. Pie sesame snaps toffee carrot cake. Pastry sweet roll toffee gummi bears applicake bear claw powder tart croissant. (courtesy cupcakeipsum.com)

Zombie ipsum

Summus thalamus brains sit, morbo basal ganglia vel maleficia? De braaaiiiins apocalypsi gorger omero prefrontal cortex undead survivor fornix dictum mauris. (courtesy zombieipsum.com )

Posted on May 29, 2012 by ahdavidson | Comments Off

The Seattle Maker Faire is this weekend, Saturday & Sunday at the Seattle Center, 10am – 5pm in the NorthWest rooms.

Tickets are required, but I might be able to score us some free passes; stay tuned for that news. There are periodic demonstrations and a host of booths & exhibits to get ideas and inspiration for your own Do It Yourself projects. Come to Get Inspired! Then go home and build it yourself!

Also at the Seattle Center on Saturday (only)!

While you are at Seattle Center Saturday, you can also check out a bunch of Robots at Robothon 2012 at the Center House (also 10am-5pm, Saturday only). And if you are into Game Design, you might want to consider iFest 2012 on Saturday (9:30pm – 6pm), which requires pre-registration. It will be a great day to be at the Seattle Center!

Google Field Trip

Posted on May 23, 2012 by ahdavidson | Comments Off

For those of you going on the field trip to Google tomorrow, here is some info:

Attend your 1st period class. Meet in room 319 at the beginning of 2nd period.
We’ll be back during 5th period, so you’ll attend your 6th period class.
Dress is casual but neat — look decent; you’re representing RHS.
Transportation is by bus and lunch is provided by Google. You don’t need any cash for the trip.

There will be a tour, a tech talk, and a panel discussion with some Google engineers about their careers and education. To give us all an idea of what you are curious about working at Google, please go to this site and post any questions you have for the Google folks:
