Skedding to a Halt Part of the fabric that keeps the Gateway held together is the feature schedule. For most of the year, we have a plan for feature articles (one- or two-page in-depth stories, ranging from the serious to the less-so) for at least 13 upcoming issues. Often, these’ll get shifted around, replaced with something better, or fall through entirely, but at least we have a good idea of what’s to come. Of course, the best part of the year is when the gap comes up, as shown: after April 8, our publishing year ends, everybody celebrates, and good times all around. And then, in May, it starts up all over again, with a new set of editors. It’s neat how the student press works.

Two late-night Items

  • Instant Messaging. I just did a huge purge of my IM trust lists. If you got knocked off the bandwagon and want back on, or you were never on in the first place, add lucas@fuzzygreenhat.com to your Google Talk/Jabber list. If you’re an AIM person, send me an email and we’ll work things out. If you’re using MSN Messenger, it was nice knowing you, and hopefully we’ll see each other again once you leave 2003.
  • Words, with Friends. If you’re the kind of person that enjoys this popular iPhone game, challenge me up; my username is lucas.

Color Picker Showdown for Nerds

scottjacksonx:

Hex Color Picker from waffle software (the same group that did Google+Growl, a nifty little program I use every day) adds another tab to the Mac OS X Color Picker for dealing with colors in terms of hex values, a system more familiar to programmers and web designers than a box of crayons. It works really well and it’s free. Try it.

Hex Color Picker is nice, but if you’re looking for something with a little more power, try the Developer Color Picker, written by Wade, one of the developers at Panic. It not only does hex values, but also rgb(x,x,x) values, and even NSColor, UIColor, and CGColor declarations. It’s the swiss army knife of color pickers — on steroids.

Okay. I can’t embed this, but it is by far the most amazing thing to come out of the 2010 Olympics. BRIAN WILLIAMS AND BRIAN WILLIAMS. TOGETHER. AT THE SAME TIME. BEING AWESOME.

The best line comes from Foxy Brian Williams: “No, I wouldn’t think for a second that you were a moose rider.”

The meeting of the Brians is a shining symbol of the hope that peace between our two nations is possible within our time.
