colors colors colors.....

Ok, the Idee Multicolor Search Lab is my new favorite website. Basically you choose anywhere from 1-10 colors from their color palette and they pull up tons of cool images where those colors predominate. The images come from Flickr, where they grabbed ten million Creative Commons images that were all were rated highly in the "interesting" category. I guess it would be really useful for interior decorators and artists who want to see how certain colors work together, but for me it's just sheer entertainment.

Also, go Phils!

Yeah, I don't exactly know why, but I found those ultra-contrast tan lines really appealing in old photos. It's makes the model seem extra naked.

Thats an awesome way of putting it. "extra naked". It would also be a great band name...

Excellent! It's the perfect targeting system for our anti-whitey orbital death ray!

I only hope I live to see the day when you smash a bottle of champagne over the head of your first giant mechanical baby.

That color tool thingy is amazing! Some of the pictures, when you click on them to see them, are so mundane, but when put with all the others are ART!
