Brad Neuberg's thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Just in time as Thanksgiving is variant SVG Web release. Our institution is to name SVG Web releases later monsters from D&D fair to boost the geek ingredient, so in that spirit our release name this time is "Gelatinous Cube":
The Gelatinous Cube is a truly frightening creature:
A gelatinous cube looks like a transparent ooze of headless, gelatinous stuff in the shape of a cube. It slides via dungeon corridors, absorbing everything in its path, digesting everything organic and secreting non-digestible material in its get up. Contact with its appearance can result in a paralyzing electric impact, after which the cube will proceed to slowly digestion its stunned and helpless pillage.Fun times.

Today the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (think census bureau
or citizen statistics) issued their latest population projection
for Germany until the annual 2060 and updated their animated population
pyramid. It had been ASV3 merely when it was 1st introduced in 2003,
then in 2006 it was ASV3 and original browsers (Firefox 1.5+, Safari
3+, Opera 9+) and now it uses SVG Web.
Apart from aiding Internet Explorer SVG Web was a large alternative for
mixing SVG and HTML. Population projections only make sense when you
understand the speculations and those can immediately be displayed side at side with
the population pyramid using standard HTML and CSS. New in this
loosen is too the aptitude to alternate between four different
scenarios.
SVG Web's small size (only 3 files), minimal requirements on the
server-side and the ability to use criterion markup were the main
selling points.
