Need help with color themes?

If you’re a designer (web, graphics, interior, fashion) who works with colors and cannot come up with a color to complement or to match a specific color that you want, let Kuler from Adobe help you.

Kuler is a free online tool from Adobe that allows you to choose a color and know what other colors work with it. You can choose from different set of rules such as Analogous, Monochromatic, Triad, Shades, etc.

I use this tool when designing web sites to help me out with coloring my links, headers and other elements of my design.

Sell gold online?

People have been selling things everyday online via virtual marketplace such as eBay. It will soon become a common thing to sell more valuable commodities like gold over the internet.

Sell gold online?? Is it really safe or even legal? Is it really worth doing it online instead of the traditional way? I don’t even know how gold are sold or bought except from jewelry shops.

Seems that it is safe to sell gold online and if you’re interested and want to know how to sell gold online, do a lot of research on secure and established dealers. They usually provide envelopes and gold kits to hold your package. A good dealer also assures you that your valuables are fully insured by a government agency.

Watch the famous Cash4Gold video at Hulu for more information on how to sell gold online. Check out the online Cash4Gold commercial for more details. As for me, I’ll probably stick with pawnshops.

Machine to make you a brilliant self-portrait artist

Do you suck in art? Do you feel that a 5-year old draws better than you? Even if you can’t draw a straight line, this machine will help you be a self-portrait artist master in no time.

Jen Hui Liao has created this Self-Portrait Machine that aids the user to draw his own portrait. It will take a picture of the sitter who will strap his wrists to the machine and hold the pen for the machine to guide.

Pretty cool actually and it will totally surprise your friends that you were able to draw a nice rendition of yourself. However, a 5-year old can also use the same machine and achieve the same result. Hehehe.

Microsoft considers offering Windows 7 in thumb drives

Windows 7 on a thumb drive? Yes please! Microsoft is still considering whether they will push through with it though.

With the massive appeal netbooks are garnering these days, it would be a good move for Microsoft to also offer their latest OS, Windows 7, on a thumb drive.

It’s been tested already that Windows 7 runs well in netbooks but the only way to upgrade the usual Windows XP it comes with is through an external optical drive, external hard disk, or download the installer in a separate partition and run it from there.

I’m sure netbook owners will be more open to upgrade to Windows 7 if they can easily upgrade their existing OS without shelling out for additional devices and the thumb drive is a good solution.
