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.
Like Gary or not what he has to say in this video is so important to us all. Please take time to watch this and pay attention.
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

I’ve been looking at all the fallout over Google’s new Gmail Priority Inbox function. Â I haven’t really dove in just yet mostly because I am a devotee to Merlin Mann’s Inbox Zero approach and aren’t quite sure how the Gmail version will be any better. Â Let me preface this by saying IBZ (Inbox Zero) is a huge lifestyle switch and takes some time to get used to but once it’s going it totally works. Then one week you super slammed like last week and I did not have time to keep the inbox balanced and now I have a mountain of crap in my mailboxes.
This is why I am thinking about using the Gmail Priority Inbox method. After reading articles on TechCrunch I am more confused as they had this to say:
Of course, this introduces a new dynamic to the way a lot of people are going to be reading email. Email intros will become ever more important, because you’ll want to ensure that your message gets marked with coveted ‘important’ tag. It also has much broader implications. Increasingly, content will be displayed to you based on its importance rather than its time stamp — not just when it comes to browsing email, but for social networks and other content as well.
I just got this app and I have to say so far its cool. I’ll be doing a full video review of the app in a few days after i put it through it’s paces. From what i gather thus far it is very intuitive and easy to just jump right in and start futtin’ around getting creative.
I love all things design and this is no exception as Moodboard Pro has a very nice interface design. It seems as if they have a great understanding of the touch interface and it ergonomics.
Until I get my video of this great app up please take a look at the developers video:
Totally on a more patriotic note, the designer/co-creator of the app Kyle Tress, is a World Cup Skeleton athlete and a 2014 Winter Olympic hopeful. That alone make me want to buy this app as US athletes have to raise their own funds to be an Olympian. Check out his blog http://www.kyletress.com/
I’d say buy it now even if you don’t need it so you can help out this inspiring Olympian… well and because it is a great app. This one will surely end up on my home screen.

Opera today announced its popular mobile browser, Opera Mini has been approved for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store. Opera Mini will be available as a free download within 24 hours, depending on market.
