According to Colorstrology, the colors that we see all around us are a reflection of the sun’s light in all its glory. It is magic made visible. There is nothing more miraculous, unexpected or wondrous than seeing a rainbow appear in the sky. You are part of that rainbow of light and just being born on a particular day under a particular Sun sign offers insights into your personality and nature, there is also a personal color that corresponds to the real you. It is a color that reflects the very essence of your specific birth date.

My dad sent me a link to this Flickr slide show from Barack Obama and his family on election night. It’s a mixture of intimate and public moments. Very nice.

They probably could have edited out the first 20 seconds or so of this video, but I did find myself snickering despite my best intentions.

This was the great article that I was talking about the other day about how close we are to electric cars. Not physically close, but technologically close.

For you Stephen King fans out there, and you graphic novel fans, you should check out N is Here, an “original video series” which appears to be an adaptation of a graphic novel which is an excerpt from an upcoming King novel. Which perhaps is based on the Broadway musical that was based on the original movie which came from the non-musical off-Broadway play. Adapted from the Shakespearean play, Taming of the Shrew, or the movie Dial N for Nurder.

Google Street View caught this Aussie passed out drunk in front of his house.

A man who fell asleep in a drunken stupor on the grass outside his home was horrified to find his embarrassment posted on the internet.

He had been drowning his sorrows over the death of a friend and collapsed after climbing out of a taxi.

As he slept off his excesses, a car-mounted video camera passed by to record pictures of the street for Google’s StreetView website.

Ouch. For more on the story…

Designed by Google wiz Anna Patterson, Cuil.com started taking search requests this morning. It’s painfully slow still, but I LOVE the layout of results. All those 9 years ago when I made my first Google search, I was drawn to the simplicity and sense of an “alternative” to the clutter of Yahoo and Altavista. Cuil seems to rekindle a lot of those same feelings.

I have to say, these guys do a good job with their light sabers. Remembering my own high school days, I can only hope the girls in their class appreciate the dedication this took.

The first website I ever designed and built, I built 7 years ago for a friend with a custom stained glass business. It had more nested tables than a furniture store, and enough spacer gifs to shore up the structure…and since it was a freebie I hadn’t updated it in years. I finally told her that if she would commit to a real domain name and get set up on something other than her “free” ISP server space that I would rebuild it.

Well, she got the domain name and I did as promised and rebuilt the site using mostly CSS. I took into consideration the things I’ve learned over the years from our SEO folks here at flyte.biz, and I was SO EXCITED when I googled it this weekend using - maine custom stained glass - and even without using her name one of the pages came up ON THE VERY FIRST GOOGLE RESULTS page!!!

So if you are not sure it’s worthwhile to have us redo that older site structure, consider the possibilities of having your site move WAY up the Google results. Oh, and if you want to see the revised site, and some absolutely GORGEOUS custom stained glass, go to http://www.tamarascustomstainedglass.com
