Adjusting audio pitch in Flash Player 10

Here is another sound example that shows how to adjust the pitch of an external sound. This is an extension of the example that can be found in the documentation for the Sound.extract method. Now this example does adjust the pitch but it also speeds the song up as well. This is because you need to skip some samples in order to increase the pitch. Now there are ways to increase the pitch of sounds without speeding them up but I have no idea how to do it. Do you?

Click on the image below to see the example. It uses my throw slider which you can toss back and forth. It may take a minute for the song to load so please be patient. You can download the FLA file if you want to see how it was done.

Revamping God’s home into your own: Holy home in the UK

The idea of living in a church is both beautiful and disconcerting at the same time, but that has in no way stopped these fabulous folk in UK to turn God’s adobe into a cozy little place that is their home. The owners bought the church for £92,000 and then went on to spend a whooping £300,000 on renovations to give it the shape and look that it currently sports. The vast interiors, sweeping spaces, stained glass and the Gothic theme really floor you. Despite the decorating falling short of all the grandeur that surrounds it, you cannot but marvel at this bold experiment. With the dead still resting in your backyard, this is one exceptional home indeed! No? – via

Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci

The Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci is great in places where the space is premium. The mini kitchen is quite an invention and will even let you enjoy keeping everything you need at your fingertips. The countertop is movable and slides pretty well to reveal the range, sink, storage, cupboards and even plenty of cabinets. Imagine, all this in just one kitchen unit. When you are not using it, the kitchen closes up, giving a minimalist, streamlined look and some much-needed organization to what is the most-used, most-chaotic room in the home.

These textures were made in Photoshop by layering various grunge and paper textures together along with floral patterns. They may not have a wide variety of uses, but I think they’ll really come in handy when you find a place for them in your designs. Here are links to the patterns that were used:

Hand Knitted Lamp by Philippe Tyberghien

I’ve noticed that DIY websites are more and more popular over the internet, and it seems that more and more people seem to join this trend. Today here is a design by Philippe Tyberghien, the designer behind Cercle et Carre that might be a source of inspiration for all the DIY people that are reading Freshome. This lamp is made of a flexible plastic cone covered with the knitting and extended by the wiring of a length of 4.5 m also hand knitted. The lighting (energy saving) is live at the base of the cone and indirectly through the mesh. The unusual length of the cable allows the clashes and a wide variety of positions. Hanging on the wall, like a coiled snake, running along the ground, etc.

Sartoriale Bathtub : Simply extends further on one side than expected

This is the 3rd time when something designed by Antonio Lupi appears on Freshome. This time I’ve decided to present the Sartoriale Bathtub, a new design that is really an attention grabbing object. The line of the bathtub simply extends further on one side than expected, for a pleasing asymmetrical twist. Made in flawless Cristalplant, the tub also comes with a black exterior finish.
