How to create hexogon shaped / neural network of photos - css

I'm having a tough time properly describing what needs to be done to make the below happen in CSS. Is there an effective way to do this in CSS with images? If so what is the proper way to describe this shape / layout? If no example, how would you implement this? Should it just be a png?

Did you have a look at:
Position icons into circle

You also use transform: rotate(xxxdeg) in css to distribute the images evenly around.

Information Graphic

I am trying to create a interactive info graphic image like this. However, mapping through the coordination is not a promising solution. The resolution will be losing when scale these images.
So, is there any other tool or css animation could form the infographic, and make the data more visualise.
It will be ease if you use .svg images, they never lose resolution when scaling.

Create snow animation

I've been trying to recreate the random snow/star effect that's on this website , but I've had no luck..
I'm assuming this needs to be done in CSS, is there anyone who can help me write the code?
Thanks in advance!

you have nothing show, but here is a short description
To create this effect, we’ll need three different “snow” graphics. These are transparent images of varying degrees of size and focus. We’ll overlay these three graphics on top of one another for a bit of depth.
Let’s style the background with these images. I’ve uploaded them to Imgur, feel free to use them.
Next, let’s create the keyframe. This is necessary to animate the background images as shown in the example down. If you’re read any of my posts before, you’re probably familiar with CSS Keyframes by now.
Our “snow” keyframe is slowly moving each background image independently of one another at different paces to create the awesome effect of snow falling.
You can change the speed or direction by modifying the background positions in the keyframe at 100%.

You can use border-radius for some simple oval shaped divs, by combining multiple divs and multiple classes you can achieve something like that, but its quite hard.

background-position technique for 'single-sprite-background-images'

What is a good 'image spriting' tool to turn single images into one big sprite with different background-position?
I know about http://spriteme.org/ but it doesn't seem to produce a result as nice as:
goDaddy's or Behance's
I've been doing it by hand for small hovers and icons but doing the entire website would take a while to hand-code all the background-position properties.
Thanks
You can try SASS/COMPASS. Even if you are only using the sprite functionality (called sprite mixin) it is worth using it. There are some nice tutorials like this one.

Is it possible to emulate Mac Osx Finder search highlight in HTML + CSS?

Mac OSX Finder has a search feature that darkens everything but the part that matches.
(source: justaddwater.dk)
Is there a way to emulate it via CSS? I was thinking about adding a semi-transparent black div with opacity 50. But how then do I cut a hole in it?? and possibly make the edge fuzzy?
Any suggestions?
Check out the Expose jquery plugin from the jQuery TOOLS collection. I think it will accomplish exactly what you are looking for. They even have a demo of styling the mask with a background image.
Due to the irregular shapes, you're probably looking for an image. And due to the need for varying levels of transparency, you probably want a .png that would just be stuck over the selected item.
Good question, one way would be to have a "selected" png that had the glowing circle cover the selected one, and a different just dark png cover everything else.
EDIT: But you would probably want to use a library like jquery rather than coding everything from scrath your self, as to not reinvent the wheel and save TONS of time :D
maybe a PNG image will work, a square with hole
