If you’re ever trying to find inspirational color palettes for your design jobs, kuler is a dang handy (and fun) tool and I’ve spent far too much time playing with it today.

You all know that he’s a great piano player, but did you know he was a killer drummer, too?

If you’re looking to accomplish as little as possible on Monday, be sure to check these out:

• Pipe cleaner dance.

I used to use Yahoo! TV for my TV listings, but since they switched to focus less on listings and more on TV show news, along with a complete redesign of their listings, I’ve been really annoyed with it. I tried using TV Guide, but still ran into issues that annoyed me (as well as inaccurate listings). And while when I finally move to digital cable next year when everybody in Bend will be forced to do so, I’ll get a fancy channel listing thing, until that point, channel 8 (TV Guide Channel) drives me batty waiting for channels when they spend a bunch of time plugging channels I don’t receive.

Then today I found my new preferred listings service: at Couchville. Simple, clean, fast, and customizable. Sweet. Now if I could remember where I got the site from so I could thank them….

I’ve said it before, I’m a Duck, but any Oregonian has to be proud of these Beavers. Congrats Oregon State on a great run through the College World Series.
