Take the blue pill

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

red/blue pill from the matrix

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and stay a six year old forever. You take the red pill - you live in a world with speed limits and take physics exams.

I must say, even though Speed racer looks to be possibly the most immature film to be released this year, every time I think about it, I start thinking like a 6-year-old again and making funny noises under my breath. I think this in itself is evidence that me going to a big shiny university to learn about how big shiny cars to shiny fast things is probably a dangerous idea.

I think I must have had it on my brain even before it came out, because there was this time when I kept dreaming I was in a floating Laborghini Gallardo with lasers on the front, racing around a space station. It was brilliant! I used to will myself to dream those things when I was 6, and now, at 18, it’s finally caught up with me! What’s more, I knew it was a dream, so I could go completely crazy on the throttle and not be worried about hitting things.

Anyway… Go see trailers.

Working on the Site

Peter talks about things he’s borrowed from other sites
Borrowing or Buccaneering?

I really want to make this site look less like Whalesalad. I don’t know quite where the division between stealing and being inspired comes. I think my site is well over that division, since it’s a completely different feel and everything, but I was heavily inspired. The most heavily inspired site of mine was Tentmaker Publications, which, you may notice, looks a little bit like Blogger, the design of which I criticized back in the day, but can’t find the post.

However, those things helped me to learn, and I changed the look quite significantly on both. I’ll be trying to be more original in future.

This site was also inspired (in a good way) by all those Ruby on Rails preview sites, you’ll notice it most in my posting style. The patterned background was inspired by how Challies Dot Com used to be

Those Horizontal Drop Shadows

I haven’t been able to stop using those shadows at the sides of my designs since I made Tentmaker though. Please note this site, Tentmaker Publications, china.adversaria, and my latest project. What do they have in common? …Apart from them mostly having 750px wide content sections of course…

My latest project had no conscious inspiration and I didn’t borrow anything. Except for those shadows of course… That’s a very commonly used design technique though.

In which anger is abated

Claire said I needed to die because I hadn’t deleted the green section of my site. Unfortunately, this wasn’t possible. It’s gone now, and the next best thing is linking to her dA page and highlighting one of her pictures:

Corpse Bride
Her whole deviantART page.
