Congratulations Mom and Dad!
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 has lengthened Daylight Saving Time by four weeks, starting this year. Clocks will be set ahead one hour on the second Sunday of March instead of the current first Sunday of April. Clocks will be set back one hour on the first Sunday in November, rather than the last Sunday of October.
First thing I thought of was Halloween. Trick-or-treaters will now need to hold out an extra hour before hitting the pavement with the pillowcases.
Count the colors. You probably count four: magenta, cyan, orange, and green.
There are in fact only three colors. What you’re seeing as cyan is actually the same green. This trick uses a technique called retinal mixing, which exploits color’s natural tendency to react to other colors. The color we think we see is entirely dependent on its surrounding colors. In this example, your eye is pulling blue from the surrounding magenta, making the green seem bluer than it is.
We saw this done a lot in the sixties in schemes we loosely refer to as “loud” or “clashing” colors. Far out.
This site is proudly powered by WordPress, which I believe will eventually be the most kick-ass blogging platform on the planet. Why? Because it’s a product of the progressive spirit that drives the Open Source Movement.
They’ve just released WordPress version 2.1, nicknamed “Ella”, after jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. I’ve just completed this significant upgrade, and this is my first post with the new interface.
Love it!
