The distant future
When deciding on a Halloween costume this year, I was compelled to mock my favorite folk comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, and designed a pretty-decent clone of the robot costume from Season 1 Episode 1 of FOTC on HBO. This costume was featured in their debut music video called Robots (aka The Humans are Dead). You can view the video on HBO’s website. Photos after the jump.

Image Thumbnail Creator
Like many other people, I found Mike Lopez’s image thumbnail script quite useful. He has taken the time to go through the brain-crunching algorithm to create image proportional image thumbnails when given a max height/width. Although this script is very handy, it was lacking in a few areas, such as transparent PNG and GIF support, as well as the un-needed resize if the image was smaller than the requested dimensions. I hope I have “helped” in this situation by modifying the script so that it handles such requests. Credit for the transparency support goes to Martin Schmidt (icheee).
One modification I made that is important to note is that the image is now fed through with the SRC variable, rather than the IMG variable. Thanks Mike for this script and I hope my updates really help.
