  3. Why do we look for recipes? Because we’re risk averse. If we fail, it’s because someone else gave us the wrong recipe. We get to skip on the blame, but can claim the success.

    I love the design on this page for Cultured Code Development Status page. Great illustration, subtle details and good use of Webkit animation on the status text.

    Tonight is the start of the final season of Lost. This was the first show I had ever seen that I actually cared to watch every single episode of since the day it aired.

    I’m looking forward to a great final season and hopefully all the questions will be finally answered.

  10. Choosing Colours to Match Your Personality

    With this website I wanted it to have a personal feel. I thought about how to incorporate this and came up with using my clothing. Its a big part of our appearance just like design is on a website.

    The colours used on this website are from one of my shirts in the image above, and same with the textures. I just zoomed in on the shirt and used the eyedropper tool in Photoshop to pick out the colours.

    Using your clothing can make a great colour scheme that matches your personality and add to the overall feel of your personal website.
