As I mentioned <a href="”>earlier, have been working with some people on the redesign of a website recently. In fact, this is a not-for-profit volunteer group in Singapore. Just doing my part for community service, I guess!? The site is almost ready for prime time and it’s called Donorweb, which provides information on blood donation drives, as well as relevant educational materials – some directly from the Singapore Red Cross. As usual, previous incarnations of Donorweb can be seen by using the Wayback Machine.

Here is a very cool tool which I am using to experiment with different colour schemes: the Color Scheme Generator. Basically this is a web interface that allows you to quickly see various combinations, at different “temperatures”, degree of contrast, and what sort of contrasts, etc. Try it for yourself!
Quite by chance, discovered the Internet Archive which as claimed on the front page
“…is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form.”
What’s so special, I can hear you asking? Well, there’s a what’s called the Wayback Machine which lets you to see what a website used to look like. Cool, isn’t it!?
As blogging becomes more and more mainstream – I even saw a current affairs segment talking about this phenomenon recently and, hey, it may even be considered hip in some places 🙂 – I am always amazed by the quality/humorous writings I can find out there. Here is an example of good writing with a twist: German tourists by Waiter Rant. And if you have the time, don’t miss the story about Heimlich manoeuvre and the infamous spoon!
