Build a Font Using Your Own Handwriting, from Andrew at SCLS

11/18/2016

1 Comment

 
I stumbled upon a fun website last week.  It is called MyScriptFont.com.  The site allows you to build a font using your own handwriting.  It is pretty simple and quick.
  1. Go to MyScriptFont.com using your favorite web browser.
  2. Print off the pdf or png template.
  3. Use a medium-thick, black marker to fill out the template
  4. Scan the template.  You can save it as a jpg, png, pdf, jpeg or tiff file, but make sure the scan is less than 6,500 x 6,500 pixels.
  5. Upload the file.
  6. Name the font.
  7. Select TTF for the output format.
  8. Click Start.
  9. After the font is generated, click it and you will be able to save it to your PC.
  10. Install the font by double-clicking the font you just downloaded then click Install (Note: On SCLS PCs, you would need to call the Help Desk to have the font installed.)
  11. The next time you open Word or other supported product, you should see your font in the fonts drop-down box.
Go to Andrew's original blog see how his (and his friend's) font turned out!

Did You Know that You Can Do These Things with a GoPro? from The Red Bulletin

11/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Thanks to increasingly powerful smartphones you no longer need sophisticated cameras to make video recordings. But for rapid footage with a lot of movement, mobiles just won’t do the job.

That’s why companies like US manufacturer GoPro, with their small, robust and waterproof action camcorders, are seeing a boom in demand. It also means the most amazing videos have emerged online.


Here are a few suggestions to inspire your own GoPro video masterpieces.
An American schoolgirl had the brilliant idea to put a Hello Kitty doll in a rocket and launch it into the stratosphere on a weather balloon. The science project produced these incredible aerial pictures that are literally out of this world. If you’re looking for an astronaut’s view of Earth - from 18 miles up - you know it’s possible thanks to this student’s brainwave.
​

Go to The Red Bulletin site to see the other awesome videos and their stories!

New OverDrive Site Reminder from Evan at OWLS

11/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Just a reminder that the new OverDrive web site is scheduled to go live on
November 7th. For now, it is just the web site that will be new. Users will
continue to use the current OverDrive app. OverDrive was planning to launch a
new app, but that has been delayed until after the holidays. I have updated
the post on InfoSoup http://infosoup.info/ws to include news about the app.
 From previewing the site, I don't think users should have any problems
navigating or using the new site.
