If you don’t know about Meetup yet, get this. It’s a chance for you to meet with other like-minded individuals to talk about those things that really interest you, like photography, game design or whatever.  In my case, it’s web design and we meet once a month.

That said, we are looking for speakers to come and talk to the group about various web-related topics.  contact me If you’re interested in participating or know someone who might be.

popurls widget

Published at January 17, 2009 in Communication, Technology and Web Design. 0 Comments

popurls is a web 2.0 mashup that collects popular news stories from other websites and gathers the top stories in one place for you :-)
I’ve been using this little mashup for the past year and it’s really nice to see them grow their features. They now let you create a widget that you can embed on your website which I just had to try!

How the widget works:

  1. Visit popurls and click on any news story
  2. If you like the story, share it
  3. The story shows up automatically anywhere you placed the widget
  4. Bonus: You can also have your stories show up on Facebook automatically.


a fresh color palette

Exposed Elements

I came up with this color palette while redesigning my other website, www.exposedelements.com. For this project, I decided to try to come up with a fresh and modern color palette.

The inspiration behind this palette comes from many years of admiration for the hex color #FCAA01. If you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, please continue reading.

I’ve been a fan of the oranges and yellows for years, but if I had to choose just one, it would definitely be #FCAA01.

Description

I started with #FCAA01 (the light orange), from there I moved to the other side of the color wheel and played with light tones.

Feel free to use this palette in your own works. Here are the details:
