   ## 󠀁[Title Junk: Solve it with Javascript](https://alex.kirk.at/2010/12/21/title-junk-solve-it-with-javascript/)󠁿
   
 * December 21, 2010
 * There is some back and forth by [John Gruber](http://daringfireball.net/2010/12/title_junk)
   and [others](http://cam.ly/blog/2010/12/startup-title-junk/), about HTML <title
   > tags, with Gruber complaining (and rightly so) that for SEO reasons the titles
   are filled up with junk having little to do with the real page content.
 * The writers of [cam.ly](http://cam.ly/blog/2010/12/startup-title-junk/) suggest
   to use the SEO title in the HTML and have something proper be displayed in Google
   by using an [OpenSearch](http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#OpenSearch_description_document)
   description. But this still doesn’t solve the problem of bloated window titles
   and bookmarks.
 * So my solution to that: use JavaScript. If you want to satisfy your readers with
   a good title and present a nice title to Google, simply set the title to something
   nice after the page has loaded with JavaScript:
 * `
    document.title = "Title Junk: Solve it with JavaScript";
 * Everyone happy. Except those who have JavaScript disabled maybe.
 * I have also created a tiny WordPress plugin that does just that: [title-junk.zip](https://alex.kirk.at/dl/title-junk.zip)

   ## 󠀁[Colorillo: Draw on an LED Wall](https://alex.kirk.at/2010/07/22/colorillo-draw-on-an-led-wall/)󠁿
   
 * July 22, 2010
 * [[
 * [Colorillo](http://colorillo.com/) currently powers a collaborative drawing event
   in Vienna: At [Adria Wien](http://www.adriawien.at/) there is a temporary LED
   wall on which you can draw with the help of Colorillo.
 * [[
 * **Take your mobile phone** (iPhone or Android, also iPod Touch, iPad or Laptop
   works) out of your pocket, enter the URL that you find there, and **on your screen**
   you will see what’s **on the LED wall**. Then you can paint on that. Of course
   with the technology of Colorillo, **multiple people can draw at the same time**.
 * The resolution is a little limited, as the LED wall had been **built by hand 
   by students of architecture**, so in my experience it’s a little more like splash
   painting with colors, but we’ll see how it turns out tonight.
 * **Tonight (July 22, 2010) at 8:30pm** there is a special drawing event with [John Megill of FM4](http://fm4.orf.at/radio/stories/fm4sunnysideup)
   as a DJ. If you’re around, come by! It will be fun!
 * The whole event is hosted by the [Ärzte ohne Grenzen (Doctors without borders) beach](http://aids2010.msf.org/?page_id=20#msf-beach)
   that has been set up for the duration of the [AIDS conference](http://www.aids2010.org/)
   that is being held in Vienna this year.
 * You can also [join the event on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=124601700916666)
   and check out more info at the [Colorillo blog post](http://colorillo.com/blog/2010/07/led-wall-drawing/).
