It’s been a couple of days since my last post, and for good reason. My girlfriend and I visited Destin for Spring Break vacation this year, and we had a blast. Things will pick back up around here again now that I’m home (naturally).

All of the pictures following the image link were taken with my LG LX550 cell phone. It did a better job than I had originally expected, and I have to say it’s the best phone camera I’ve used (including the Motorola Razr).

So, a couple of things have changed since I’ve been away. Most notably: my Google PR dropped from 2 to 0. This simply baffles me as I’ve done nothing since the last PR update but optimize my website.

I’ve gotten 15+ backlinks since then, optimized my code, etc. So this recent drop in rank has me puzzled. Oh well. Maybe it’s a glitch. Either way it doesn’t really matter to me– just has me curious as to why Google would throw me a goose egg.

Free color picking software

Nattyware’s Pixie is a handy little tool I often use to pick exact color hex from anything on-screen. (It’s never given me an incorrect hex in the several years I’ve been using the program).

Point to a color you like and Pixie will display its hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV values along with your mouse’s X and Y position. The software is 8KB in all of it’s glory, making it a lightweight, useful utility. Try it out!
