Need a #HEX #RGB or HSL Value Fast?

doc — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:28:56 +0000

HSL Color Picker – a great tool for selecting colors and getting the #hex #RGB and #HSL values . HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) can be seen as a subset
of RGB. HSL color is great for a color picker

How do you use HSL?

Pick a Hue from 0 to 360 and with saturation at 100 and luminosity at 50 and you’ll have the purest form of that color. Reduce the saturation and you move towards gray. Increasing the luminosity moves you towards white, decreasing it moves you towards black.

Get Google Bar Today with Simple Hack

doc — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 03:03:27 +0000

The “Google Bar” is a new replacement for sometimes controversial black navigation bar that Google released a few months back. Most of the complaints were about the design and how much screen space it took up. While it never really bothered me I was happy to learn of the simple hack to allow me to test out the and improved redesigned “Google Bar”

These are the simple instructions I used created by Maxilian Majewski:

1. Go get this extension to change cookies. http://goo.gl/CeKtT
2. Load Google.com and right-click to edit the cookies.
3. Change “PREF” to this (try triple-clicking it):
ID=03fd476a699d6487:U=88e8716486ff1e5d:FF=0:LD=en:CR=2:TM=1322688084:LM=1322688085:S=McEsyvcXKMiVfGds
4. Don’t forget to save your changes at the bottom.
5. Reload and you have the new Google bar.

Some people are getting this slowly rolled out to their accounts but if you cannot wait or are just curious like me just apply the hack. If you don't notice the change right away try restart the browser of the computer.

If you are using Google plus don’t forget to add me to a circle or two

Oolong – Brewing the Perfect Pot

doc — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 07:15:00 +0000

Oolong or Wulong Cha is one of the best and healthiest teas around. Oolong tea is also referred to as an aromatic tea, and it features popular flavors rich in exquisite aroma. Oolong is sometimes referred to as white tea as it’s right between green and black in the oxidation process and the leave have a whitish color. Many people have been turned off by oolong or wulong because the only experiences they’ve had were most likely from burnt and bitter brewing techniques. I’ll show you how to brew the most perfect pot of oolong tea.

My Supplies:

- Octavia Silver Dragon Oolong
- Breville Variable-Temperature 1.8-Liter Kettle
- Manchester United Cup
- Tea Strainer

High quality oolong can be brewed several times from the same leaves and, unlike other teas, it improves with rebrewing: it is common to brew the same leaves three to five times, the third or fourth steeping usually being considered the best. There are many taste in oolong ranging from refreshing, invigorating flavors to mellow, soothing flavors, all with their own distinctive appeal.

Good High Quality Oolong from Adagio and Lupicia Oolong or a few more of my favorites. You can get really good quality teas for a lot cheaper in your Chinatown district of your home town but you may need to ask for the good stuff or they’ll sell you the tourist crap if you are not stern on wanting quality.
