Thirteen!

Friday, January 25th, 2013

I just realized that my little weblog turns thirteen years old today! Wow, a teenager… let’s hope it doesn’t start behaving like its age and acting out now. ;-)

This was my first entry (wow, don’t André and I look young?), and you can find the other “birthday entries” here: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012.

Ah, nostalgia… back then (September 1999, first digital photo that exists of me):

And now (July 2012 actually):

Colors

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

The Color Scheme Designer by Petr Stanicek is a site that lets you play around with colors. Choose monochromatic, complement, triad or other options, and it will suggest a color scheme for websites etc.. You can easily choose which colors to use and even see an example of a website layout with your chosen colors. You can also see what it would look like to a colorblind person. Once you’re happy with your colors, you can export the color codes for html, for example.
