It's the little things we do, the ordinary gestures of politeness, the small acts of thoughtfulness to others, that add up to create what type of people we are.

Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry – Source: brainyquote.com

Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.

As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.

To this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.

Enjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!

Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry – Source: brainyquote.com

Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.

As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.

To this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.

Enjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!

As a purveyor of books about signs (see https://bl.ag/shop) I think this is the first time I've seen such a substantial volume (150 pages) about a single sign. But I'm ready to learn of others!

'A Sign of the Times: The Best of the Penthouse Marquee' by Benjamin Jackson & Aaron Chapman.

Painted the #konami #tmnt #arcadecabinet it’s default color of boring semigloss black. Added another layer of paint on the front. The sides look okay, good enough to cover with a new decal. Going to let this oil base paint dry for almost 24 hrs before I move it back into the house. Now I need to purchase a new led fixture for my #marquee. #restorationproject

made a marquee by pasting stuff from the interwebs, couldn't figure out the right print settings though 🤷

Now using singleton caching font manager for marquee widgets, with sans-serif, monospaced, and UI font categories. The UI font category now being used for UI elements in Nowser, using system defaults for each major platform.

It can be made look like Windows 2000 if you change the default fornt from Segoe UI to Tahoma. On Mac, you may use the older Helvetica Neue instead of SF UI.

MARQUEE

Here's what the MARQUEE html rendering widget can do so far, as demonstrated with the Nowser code example. HTML like it's 1994, but in a browser that feels usable.
https://github.com/ha1tch/marquee

Binary builds of this are currently about 7Mb all included. It may reach 10-12 Mb total if I add some CSS support and basic images.

#nowser #marquee #golang #retrocomputing #foss #webdev

Implemented tables!

This would have been a mess to implement using the cheaper regexp-based parser, generating many more regressions per every new addition.
And the simplest table is probably used in 70%+ of the cases anyway (most will just use markdown these days).

Scaffolding for colspans and rowspans already in place, to be implemented next.

#marquee #html #webdev #foss #golang

Moving to a state machine-based parser for MARQUEE may seem like an odd decision for an HTML renderer. You would naturally think and perhaps common sense would dictate that regexps are enough for something simple (they aren't) or that you absolutely need a tokenizer + recursive descent parser (factually not true).

Ideology, tradition, and beliefs apart, the main reason to choose a state machine-based parser is this: A state machine can be implemented on any architecture. And on small machines and virtual machines, you get absolute control over every character and every resource used, nothing goes to waste.
This approach works the same on a powerful server, a fancy latop, or the same code but targeting a microcontroller, or an old 8-bit machine.

#marquee #html #webdev #golang #foss #retrocomputing #html

Not perfect, not too bad to get started with.

@Kroc A markdown viewer called MarqueeDown is among the code examples provided with the MARQUEE widget/renderer.
https://github.com/ha1tch/marquee/tree/main/examples/marqueedown

It's only a code example, but it does show how to build hyperlinked documentation with markdown, and no external browser dependencies, even in this early and incomplete state of development.

I added a new code example to MARQUEE (the little html renderer widget I wrote based on raylib-go), and it now shows how to implement a small web browser using it.

Of course, you can't view many "real" web pages with it yet, because most webpages are full of garbage. But in due time, I may be able to demonstrate that the real purpose of implementing nowser is not to browse pages (nowser! duh!), but to use it as something that can allow us to begin to think beyond the existing paradigm.

For now, it's one lovely little widget!

NEW: MARQUEE

MARQUEE is a basic HTML rendering widget for Go applications and games using raylib-go. No dependencies other than raylib-go
https://github.com/ha1tch/marquee

Retro-style web-browsing with an early html subset circa 1994.
Handles headings, paragraphs, lists, links, bold/italic text. No CSS, no JavaScript, just enough HTML for basic documentation and help systems.

Typical use cases are simple embedded docs, in-game help, bundling rich popup hints in IDEs, etc. You may also ship the example viewers (html or markdown) with your own application, not having to rely on external web browsers.

Includes HTML viewer and Markdown viewer examples.
I may add images, tables, forms, and minimal CSS if there is sufficient interest. Javascript support is probably never going to be added.

No Electron!!
