Color Tools

Finally found some goodies online. I've actually been looking for something like this for quite some time. Once I even bought a small application to help me with color combinations but it didn't run on my computer. (no, I won't whine about my lame PC...I'll blame developer error)

Anyway, here are some tools I'll certainly make use of every now and again. Hey, it's HARD to keep coming up with unique color combinations that work sometimes!

COLORSONTHEWEB: I like this one. You get a source color and have this tool suggest all different types of good color combinations with it. Not to mention it generates the hexadecimal code for you too. (color numbers for us web-geeks)

SPIN THE COLOR WHEEL: If you're particularly ornery, you can just leave it all to random chance and spin random color combinations that might turn out looking ok. You'd be surprised how much cool design can come out of blind luck sometimes.


I took my wife shooting on her birthday. Nah, I'm not a big fan of the NRA or anything like that. It just so happens a friend of mine was involved with a yearly event to raise money for the food bank...something about firearms and fishing. How those 2 activities are related is anyone's guess. I guess if the fish you catch are not dead enough yet, you can always shoot em.

Anyway, I figured it was something totally different from anything she's ever done on her birthday before so it'll be fun. I think she did great. She'll be doing our home defense from now on.

This one is unrelated to anything (how typical of my posts huh?), but for those of you that check your credit reports annually (you should), my brother found this discount code online that is good to the end of the month for MyFICO.com:

MyFICO 20% off order SCORES4LESS Exp 09/30/2007

I encourage you to do so every so often. It's well worth the money because you get to see how your scores are, and track anything unusual if anyone's ever used your credit cards or personal info.
