for the love of colour

thats right, colour! i spelled it all proper like, impressed? well you should be, not with me, but with the website for COLOURlovers.

Last year during webby’s i ran across this website that was basically a niche social network that was based around creating colors and color palettes.  i have used sites like wellstyled’s color scheme generator, colors on the web, colorschemer, webcolorschemes, and kuler, just to name a few, but none of them have appealed to me as much as COLOURlovers has.

the usability of the site is not as intuitive as i would like and it takes a bit of getting use to to figure out how to successfully navigate through the site, but i find myself enjoying the experience.  its not only just a tool to help you create colors its an entire network of individuals all passionate about color and all its facets; from linking visual inspirations, or in written form, to naming your palettes and colours alike, its a whole new way of social contribution.

the sheer volume of colors and palettes being created is quite impressive, i myself have joined in the fray in hopes to share my color concepts and to inspire as i am being inspired.

come join me! its my favorite new addiction as i spend hours just thinking of color arrangements and being lost in ones created by others.

social avatars

a while ago photobucket teamed up with a company/product called meezmeez are essentially 3d photo avatars you can custom design and animate.  i made one a long time ago but almost forgot about it until got an email notice reminding me and inviting me to “come and use it again” now in beta.

simpsons… meez.. i even have a weemee for skype. maybe i’ll upload that next.
