Amazon.co.uk: Low Prices in Electronics, Books, Sports Equipment & more InterACT With Web Standards: A Holistic Approach to Web Design | The Web Standards Project Khan Academy O'Reilly Network: Mozilla DevCenter Mark Surman: Mozilla is all of us Ten years ago, a scrappy group of ten Mozilla staff and thousands of volunteer Mozillians broke up Microsoft’s monopoly control over how people could access the web: they released Firefox 1.0. There was no single mastermind leader who can take credit for this achievement. Instead it was a wildly diverse and global community that did this. They achieved something that seemed impossible. Over the last few years, we’ve taken on the next huge challenge: building a smartphone with the technology and values of the web. I’ve been thinking about what our community can achieve alot in the last few weeks. The reality is that: Mozilla is all of us. While hard, the past few weeks have been a reminder of this. That’s one of the reasons that I’m happy Chris Beard agreed to step in as interim CEO at the Mozilla Corporation today. The notable thing about that ad is not its size or reach, but that Mozilla neither placed nor even paid for it. [Source: Planet Mozilla]

Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Vehicle Modeling Series - Gyrocopter Vehicle Modeling Course in Blender The Vehicle Modeling DVD was released in the first quarter of 2011, after the Intro to Blender and Character modeling series. It was our first physical DVD ever shipped and has shipped more than any other training DVD we’ve ever produced. However, now that the series has reached the ripe age of 2 years, it is being inducted into the CG Cookie Citizen library, making it accessible to all Citizen members. Trade the value of a couple lattes for complete access to our Citizen training library What you’ll learn In this intensive, mesh modeling training series, you will be taken through the complete process of modeling a very detailed, sci-fi vehicle in Blender. Beauty renders of the final model Included in the download The source files for this series contain the original concept art and modeling sheets by David Revoy, a video breakdown form David himself showing how the concept came together, and all the .blend files for the final model.
