Micro-Heart

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:17:07 GMT

I was doing some RNA-FISH today and was using some random fluff to find the focal plane when I came across this fella - kind of looks like a heart, no? Except it's about 10µM across (roughly 10,000 times smaller than a human heart)

New Wallpaper

Thu, 20 May 2010 16:56:27 GMT

I don't change my work desktop wallpaper very often, and when I do I'm usually very picky. I spent a while digging around deviantART yesterday and came across a new one by ~pr09studio called It's my turn.

Think this one's a keeper...

Colour Schemes

Thu, 20 May 2010 12:46:48 GMT

I've found a couple of nice colour scheme generators lately, I just stumbled across Colour Scheme Designer 3, which takes an established concept (complement, triads etc) but packages it all in a lovely product which is really intuitive - it even allows you to preview the scheme for people with different types of colour-blindness. Another cool tool is Adobe Ideas - an app more for the iPad than the iPhone, it has a tool to automatically generate colour schemes from photographs that works really well.
I know I shouldn't until all of my current jobs are finished, but I can't help but find ideas for new websites popping into my head...

I like Internet Explorer 6 because...

A nice blog post on a (very) nice website designer's website: David DeSandro explains why he likes Microsoft Internet Explorer 6:

  • I enjoy a good challenge
  • I like surprises
  • It makes me think about people who are not like me
  • It gives us [website designers] bonding power

I have to say, I like how even his blog posts are displayed in an innovative and interesting way...
