Seize the Day was a calendar program made by in 1994 by Buena Vista software. It features graphics that at the time, were revolutionary because of the way they handled color cycling. These images were static bitmaps, but by changing color values, they appear animated. What is also impressive about these images is that they had full day night cycles built in, rendered also through color cycling. A few years ago, a html5 version was made. A copy was uncovered online and there is a way to use the program through DOSbox. As well, one of the original programmers for the project, Iam Gilman, has thought of the idea of remaking it, open sourced, for modern machines.
thanks for writing a more elaborate explanation. i’ve seen these pictures be spread like wildfire without mention of the technology behind it.
One time, I was watching this documentary series on Netflix (the name escapes me atm) where each episode documents the journey and such of different high ranking chefs. The first episode was super interesting, because the chef in question was a genuinely sweet Italian guy with a loving and supportive wife and they raised a small family while struggling in the tough culinary world of Milan, right?
But then the second episode was a huge slap in the face. This freaking…liberal-ass upper class New Yorker was going on about how “America has no food culture because we never struggled with food, and that is how real food culture is made” like BINCH
Native Americans? African Americans? Jewish Diaspora? Irish Catholic immigrants? Cajun and Creoles? Pioneers of all backgrounds who settled into literal wilderness? The Great Depression? Southerners? Latinos? Chinese Americans??? I could go on???
And so out of spite, I decided to collect recipes that were historically American. I enjoyed “antique” ways of cooking anyway but this spurred me to collect more. Along with my little cook book of recipes from 1900-1950, I also have a little booklet on Civil War era recipes and have collected some interesting Native American recipes from the Otoe-Missouria tribe (and other tribes I think? I have them on a google doc but haven’t looked at it in a while).
Anyway I need people to stop pretending that America has no history or culture to account for thanks.
I started this season 6 cast photo in July of 1999. Finished it (finally!) with in August 2018.
In addition to the entire main cast (Avery Brooks, Nana Visitor, Michael Dorn, Terry Farrell, Alexander Siddig, Colm Meany, Rene Auberjonois, Armin Shimerman, Cirroci Lofton) it’s also signed by recurring guests Marc Alaimo (Dukat), Andrew J. Robinson (Garak), Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun/Brunt), Casey Biggs (Damar), Aron Eisenberg (Nog), Max Grodenchik (Rom), Chase Masterson (Leeta) and Barry Jenner (Admiral Ross).
If I get the chance, I’ll add a few more of the recurring guests (though I don’t know where there’s space!)
But for all intent and purposes, it’s DONE. Finished! The entire cast! 19 years later!
