![]() HHKB Professional BT models run on AA batteries housed in a "battery bump" on the rear of the keyboard and can only be connected using Bluetooth (although these models have a micro-USB port, it can only be used to power the keyboard in place of batteries and not for data transmission). ![]() This is the first HHKB to feature Bluetooth connectivity. Only available in white (but with either blank or printed keycaps), the HHKB Professional 2 Type-S is a silenced variant of the HHKB Professional 2 containing silenced Topre keyswitches.Īnother variant of the HHKB Professional 2 called the HHKB Professional BT, was released in 2016. In 2011, PFU released the HHKB Professional 2 Type-S. Its main feature is a built-in 2-port USB hub for connecting mice and other peripherals. The HHKB Professional 2 was released in March 2006 and is also available in either white or charcoal (black) with either blank or printed keycaps. It also features a detachable mini-USB cable which is used to connect the keyboard to a computer. ![]() Retroactively known as the HHKB Professional 1, this is the first HHKB model to use the famous Topre electrostatic capacitive keyswitches that all subsequent models use to this day. The first HHKB Professional (not to be confused with the previously mentioned first HHKB) was released in December 2003 and is available in either white or charcoal (black) colorways with either blank or printed keycaps. HHKB Professional Series First-generation The HHKB Lite is the first HHKB model to be available in black and the HHKB Lite2 is the first HHKB model to use the USB interface. The HHKB Lite models also used membrane keyswitches but have a slightly different layout than the standard HHKB. The first HHKB was followed by the release of the HHKB Lite and HHKB Lite2 in 19 respectively. It used PS/2, Sun, and ADB interfaces to connect to a computer with a detachable cable and is only available in white. The first Happy Hacking keyboard (HHKB) was released in 1996 and used membrane keyswitches. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces.ĭuring the design process, Wada had mock-ups of the keyboard both with printed and blank keycaps he found that his students quite liked blank keycaps and the tradition of HHKB's with blank keycaps continues to this day. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. When America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. Inspired by the original Macintosh keyboard, Professor Wada and PFU collaborated to design the Happy Hacking Keyboard with the following philosophy:īecause keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. Professional Hybrid models are also available in Japanese layout.įrustrated that each new computer system came with a new keyboard layout that became increasingly complex, Wada sought to create his own keyboard that he could continue to use with various different computer systems. The current models in production are the Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional Classic, Professional Hybrid (wired/wireless dual connectivity), and Professional Hybrid Type-S (silenced variant of Hybrid) all in either dark or light colorschemes, and either blank or printed keycaps. It returns the control key to its original position as on the early 84-key IBM Personal Computer/AT and XT layouts. Its reduction of keys from the common 104-key layout down to 60 keys in the professional series is the basis for its smaller size while retaining full key size. The Happy Hacking Keyboard (HHKB) is a small computer keyboard produced by PFU Limited of Japan, codeveloped with Japanese computer scientist and pioneer Eiiti Wada.

"Aren't the tables and chairs rather small? Are they for kids? One, two. This is when Deuce saunters to me, noticing that the chair is rather small. While Ace and Grim are clowning around with the pickaxe, I take a seat in one of the tiny chairs, waiting for my turn to have a go at it. "Let me try!" Grim jumps onto the table, pawing at top of the pickaxe with his tiny paws, as Ace tries to yank out the pickaxe with all his might, his face puffed red with effort. "Looks like a wreck in here," Deuce observes as he surveys the living room.Īce, walking behind Deuce, catches sight of the pickaxe and tries to dislodge it: "The pickaxe is really stuck into the table." More disturbing is the solid pickaxe with its blade wedged into the table, hovering ominously in mid-air like an uninvited dinner guest who has crashed a party. In the middle of the room a short table with seven miniature chairs, two being noticeably toppled over, each backrest of a chair shows a unique design, a squarish table runner featuring a diamond design with little tassels covers most of the table.

I duck under Ace's armpit and stand in front of the window, looking through the windowpane while Ace rests his chin on my head.ĭeuce twists the knob of the door and lets us in. "Really? Let me see!" Grim leaps into Ace's shoulder and presses his face to the windowpane. Ace double checks by rubbing the dust off a windowpane near the door and plasters his face against it to peer inside, "The lights are out. "I guess it's abandoned," Deuce concludes to himself. Once we arrive towards the cottage, Deuce knocks on the door, while calling out: "Good evening." But no one responds and opens the door. ![]() "Let's go ask about the mine," he suggests. "Let there be light, and there is light!" Grim proclaims with glee.īut Ace seems rather calm about the situation and walks up ahead towards the hut. "With pleasure!" Grim nods before blowing slightly on the wicks of the candles. I lift up my candle stand towards: "Mind lighting up the candle stand?" With his voice trembling with fear, he whispers, "Uuuhh. It used to be prosperous, thanks to magic crystal mining but." Grim wriggles out of my arms and hides at the back of my head while standing on my shoulders. ![]() Just a few moments later, I see a small bridge that straddles a small creek, leading to a quaint, but decrepit, little cottage in the middle of nowhere.ĭeuce looks around him in fascination: "So this is Dwarfs' mine. The surroundings are so quiet that you can hear a pin drop. I can only see the silhouettes of Ace and Deuce in front of me. Once the bright light has faded, we find ourselves in the woods.

Just roll the foil flat with a rolling-pin, use thin wire to minimize the air that will be trapped between the dielectric layers, and make sure the foil plates are at least 4cm shorter than the acetate film on each end to prevent leakage. He stuck with aluminum foil for the two plates. This is the material from which overhead transparency sheets are made. He thought the paper and foil capacitor project was a nice introduction to the concepts, but at the same time he knew he could produce a much more powerful device.įor the dielectric he is using acetate film. tipped us off about his method for building your own high-voltage capacitors.

If you don’t count the few LCDs burned through while building his project, his projector was built for under $100. started off looking at the LumenLab DIY projector project, but considered that to be a terrible amount of work with a fairly high initial investment. The bulb in the projector added a lot of heat, so three small fans are used to blow air between the projector glass and the LCD display. started his project by picking up a surplus overhead projector for $25 and routing a cutting board to mount the LCD in. The basic idea is fairly simple, but we’ve never seen anything that could be considered a semi-permanent build. ![]() Using a bare LCD panel with an overhead projector is a decades-old hack we’ve covered before. wanted a huge-screen TV on the cheap, so he converted an overhead projector to something he can use with his XBox.

The whole point in using transparent paper is so the overhead lamp can shine through it. ![]() September 9, - I don't think so, not unless it was really thin. Of course, I bet it's also a lot more expensive than normal ink jet transparency printer paper. I've heard that they've even made laser printer transparency paper now - I bet that makes for some cool graphics. Could I just get transparency film instead? I have a school supply list that asks for: "3m transparency paper, 11x17". Is there a difference between transparency film and paper? Other laser print transparencies also bow, do you recommend any brand that will not have this problem?Ĭan you paint kids' washable paints onto transparent paper, and will it dry and stay on! thanks for any feedback. This has now been discontinued by my supplier and I cannot find it anymore. I used to get transparent paper that was thick and did not warp. I've printed onto transparency paper and its not drying. ![]() The unavailability of CMYK can be a deal breaker if you do a lot of print work. More specifically, you can use both RGB and CMYK in Krita while you can only use RGB in GIMP. ![]() Krita has a clear advantage when it comes to color modes. Overall, Krita has better animation capabilities. You can playback all your animations, watching them start to finish to get a clearer idea of what’s happening with your creation. GIMP also has decent animation features with the ability to fulfill all your simple GIF needs. The exclusive onion skill feature also lets you see the animations you’ve implemented in previous frames. The timeline view feature lets you preview how your animations look after you’ve done your creation. As a matter of fact, it gives you a dedicated animation section to make all the animation tasks a walk in the park. Krita has frame-by-frame raser animation. Here’s how GIMP and Krita’s main features compare: Animations Below are some of the major differences between GIMP and Krita. Main Differences Between Krita and GIMPĪlthough the two applications have many similar features, there are some differences that set them apart. In fact, they’re the go-to recommendation for anyone who wants to get into a creative field.īoth tools give you the option to customize the tools as per your learning pace, and more importantly, there are lots of resources such as guides and online tutorials to help you get started.įurthermore, since the tools are open source, they are supported by a community of professionals who are ready to help in any situation. While there are many graphics-oriented tools, Krita and GIMP are two of the easiest ones to learn. The shorter it is, the easier you can get used to the application and start being productive. One of the most important things to consider when you want to try a new application is the learning curve. Source: Krita subreddit Both Have a Shallow Learning Curve You can also interact with professionals on the Krita artists forum or Krita subreddit. Krita, on the other hand, has a helpful user guide that you can go through when you encounter a problem. You can also access its built-in support system by pressing the F1 key. GIMP has online tutorials on its website to help you understand how to use all its features. Both Have Adequate User SupportĪs with most open-source projects, there are tons of resources and user support for both GIMP and Krita. You can change their source code and redistribute the changes.Īny add-on tools you add to them are also likely to be free, so you can enjoy all their features without a big price tag or subscription fee. Both are Free and Open Sourceīoth of these tools are open-source projects, which also means they’re free. Let’s look at the biggest similarities between the two tools. Krita and GIMP are quite similar in functionality. Although it is not a Photoshop replica, it offers many image editing tools that could help with any level of image editing. You can use GIMP for different purposes including photo retouching, image composition and authoring, and more. It also has a flexible and user-friendly interface. This includes support for different image formats such as JPEG, PSD, GIF, PNG, and more. GIMP offers a wide range of professional features as we shall see later in the text. You can also enhance its productivity with its countless customizations and third-party plugins. Whether you’re a graphic designer, photographer, artist, or even a scientist, GIMP can get the job done. Since it’s an open-source program, you’re free to manipulate its source code and distribute the changes. It is a cross-platform editor that can be used on Mac, Windows, and Linux. GIMP is an acronym for the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Just like Krita, GIMP is a free, open-source image editor. You can also get the Gemini version optimized for ultrabooks, touchscreen PCs, and others from Valve’s Steam platform. The desktop app is free to download and is regularly updated on Windows, Linux, and Mac. You also get templates for design, DSLR photos, animation, and textures to use in your projects. The software offers you all the tools you need to paint, sketch and do more artistic work in one user-friendly interface. Krita is easy to work with and you can use layers among other tools like effects, brushes, filters, drawing aids, symmetry tools, masking tools, and more. These tools range from comics, illustrations, textures, concept art, and matte painters. Krita is a free, open-source painting program made by artists who believe art tools should be available and affordable for everyone. Main Differences Between Krita and GIMP.

If you want to immerse yourself in Navajo culture while being surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the most iconic views of the west, plan a trip on the Kayenta-Monument Valley Scenic Road and weave your own tapestry of memories. Other nationally renowned Navajo arts and crafts include silversmithing and jewelry, basket making, and sandpainting. Navajo weaving is a valued art form with textiles selling for hundreds and often thousands of dollars. ![]() Navajo rugs and blankets detail their history and interactions with other cultures. While traveling on the scenic road, visitors can see the various Navajo textile designs and the complexity of this traditional art form. There were over 400 Code Talkers in World War II, and they were praised for their skill, speed, accuracy, courage, and for saving many lives.Īlong with Navajo language, weaving is at the center of Navajo culture. The code was never broken by the Japanese and is credited for the success at Iwo Jima. Navajo code talkers were Navajo soldiers who used the Navajo language as a code during World War II to relay messages by phone and radio. On Highway 160, near the Kayenta-Monument Valley Scenic Road, there is an exhibit honoring the Navajo Code Talkers inside the Burger King establishment. The Navajo language played a very significant role in World War II, ultimately helping to win the war. Many types of Navajo-guided tours are offered in Monument Valley, including jeep, van, truck, horseback, and hiking. Traveling on the Kayenta-Monument Valley Scenic Road, one can hear the language spoken and experience the culture through visits to the nearby Navajo Tribal Park and Visitor Center and the Kayenta Visitor Center. The Navajo people value their traditions, harmony, and life, all of which are intimately tied together in their language. These oral histories are often translated into their art, crafts, and events. The Navajo language ties the people in present times with stories, songs, and prayers that have been passed down through the ages. The scenic road is steeped in rich Navajo culture, and at the very heart of Navajo culture is the language. The Monument Valley area is home to the largest tribe in North America, the Navajo or the Diné (The People). Much of this history is told through the excellent interpretive materials on display at the Kayenta and Monument Valley Visitor Centers. The area’s earliest inhabitants include Paleo-Indian hunters and archaic hunter-gatherers. The archaeological significance of the region stretches back thousands of years before the time of the Anasazi or “ancient ones” who resided in the area. ![]() Today their history, intertwined with the early Spanish and Mexican incursions into the area, as well as the frontier period, provides many rich stories for visitors to explore. The Navajo presence in the region extends back hundreds of years. The history of the Kayenta-Monument Valley Scenic Road is that of the American West. At an elevation of 5,200 feet, the 26-mile-long scenic road weaves through breathtaking landscapes of majestic sandstone, rock formations, and buttes that tower at heights from 400 feet to over 5,000 feet. Known as the Gateway to Monument Valley, the Kayenta-Monument Valley Scenic Road is called Tse’ Bii’ Ngzisgaii by the Navajo, which means Valley of the Rocks. ![]() For as much as Mafia riffs on the likes of The Godfather, this isn't a movie to be consumed passively, yet its habit of simply guiding players from shootout to car heist to shootout again often feels like it would rather be one. ![]() What may frustrate both new and returning players though is the rigid linearity of the game. There's a real pleasure in zipping along country lanes at speed, or swerving through city traffic while evading the cops. Although each will have their own performance specifications, at their best the cars and bikes here are a joy to zoom around in. There are a host of vehicles to acquire – illicitly, usually – in the game, and the Definitive Edition introduces motorbikes for the first time. Vehicle mechanics are much improved, however - a delight given how much of the game can be spent in cars. The occasional moments where stealth is an option are great though – unfortunately, there aren't enough of them.Īs a remake, don't expect anything of the depth and quality of Final Fantasy VII Remake. ![]() In either case, shooting only ever feels fine at best, and melee combat is clunky. Mechanically, Definitive Edition hews closest to Mafia III, although a "Classic" difficulty mode aligns more closely to the 2002 version, with harsher limits on ammunition and more alert police responses. While this is a visually resplendent world that developer Hangar 13 has created, there isn't as much to sing about in structural overhauls.
