Project Idea: Context Free or Processing Header Plugin for WordPress

An iteration or so of the website ago I hacked in a random art generator into the background of the title of my website using ContextFree.js by Aza Raskin.  It was a cool little hack, but what would be really nice is to make it shareable.

I’d like a WordPress Plugin that finds the heading of your website and inserts a little Canvas element, includes either processing.js or contextfree.js and picks a sketch, then plops it in the background of your website’s title.  How cool would that be?

Ikea Hack – Raised TV Panel

Ikea Benno On Grundtal Legs

I mounted the Benno TV Bench with Panel on Grundtal Legs. We didn’t want to block a vent during the winter, and we also like the look of a tv floating higher in the air. I also removed the Benno’s apron so the leather cube poufs would fit underneath.

The 17″ Grundtal legs are done in a W so they fit the shallower Benno, and they are screwed to a piece of ply attached to the Benno’s supports. It is very stable so far and I’m quite satisfied.

Yes, I was going to build this all myself, but $140 for the Benno plus $50 for the legs is just wicked easy.
