I’ve recently completed a project for a friend of my mom’s. I knew years of my mom’s bragging about me would eventually come back to haunt me, and here it was — my mom’s friend, Robin, a science teacher, who had heard all about my genius, super-incredible, awesome musical talent, asked me to help her finish up some science songs she had been recording. I had just bought my new MacBook and had played with Garage Band a bit, but I was wanting a reason to play with it some more, so I agreed to help out.

Someone mentioned to me that they liked my day-glo blog, and I thought to myself. Hmmm, they’re color blind. And then I looked at it on a regular monitor (rather than my laptop which I tilt in an odd way when I sit on the couch) and I thought Augh! it *is* day-glo. Anyways, these are closer to the colors that I thought I was choosing before. (I still can’t get it quite right, and that gray rectangle is still there, of course.) The moral of the story is not to use your laptop to pick colors. (My first attempt was apparently a hideous bright green against rusty orange. John walked downstairs and looked at me funny and then tilted my laptop to the proper angle. But then I guess it un-tilted as I re-selected the colors.)
