Sorry. You’re going to have to try hard to express yourself clearly. I don’t have much of a clue what you’re asking for.
could you be a little more vague please.
Maybe he wants to build a Kabalistic set of colour swatches?
If so, use Illustrator and a Ouija.
What does 23 smell like?
Which weighs moreยsevens or double-u’s?
How long is Pantone 485?
See what were getting at, Shaun?
You question, as you’ve written it, is rather inscrutable.
Try making it more scrutabler.
LOL Phos, schizophrenics talk in colours associated with moods, but I’ve never heard of lengths and weights before, this is all good theorising!!! ; )
This is just my theory, but I think 485 is redder than 185. I know this will start a debate of biblical proportions, but that’s where I stand.
I’ll bite,
Pantone 485 is a slightly deeper red than 185. This would support the idea of 485 being "redder" than 185.
I would also say 185 is more common than 485 (this is a matter of opinion – I myself use PMS 185 when a red spot color is required, but looking at 485, what nice red, I think I’ll use it sometime).
What happens when ship 485 crashes into ship 483 in the middle of the ocean?
They get marooned.
Paint-by-numbers-type thing? If the image has more than 26 colors, you’ll have to invent new alphabets, which may be just as much work…
"…even volunteered for and elite anti-terrorist team."
Aaauuugggh…I’m such a prick. No. I’m not a prick. My brain just has a strong filter for this sort of thing and I’m doing you a favor.
Fix your typo, Loren. And have somebody else read your site to find stuff you miss.
Thanks for the heads up Phosphor. Even with you pointing it out, I still had to reread it three times to catch the error. I hate it when that happens.
Gallery: "In order to make your viewing easier…. "
In order to really make my viewing easier let me know what the mysterious navigation buttons mean. How is the user to know that the blue (what is that ‘icon’?) button goes to your Gallery and the red version goes to your Resume, et cetera?
The syntax of "My Story" seems odd. If it is "My" (i.e. written by Loren) what does it use syntax such as "I was born", rather than "Loren was born" – and "He spent his formative years" rather than I spent" – or "after completing his tour of duty" rather than "after completing MY tour of duty"?
The syntax you have begs the title to be "Loren’s Story" rather than "MY story."
In Your Artist’s Statement you don’t write: "HE found the computer to be HIS favorite creative tool.
I’m confused about the "Product Design." The "can" seems to be a product, I guess – but what are the other three? Packaging design or product design? The navigation in the Gallery section seems laborious – having to click back on the mysterious blue legoesque block to get to the other selections.
Alyssia Milano – should be Alyssa Milano.
Illustration of a Childs Nightmare should be …Child’s Nightmare Another Example of Illustrate – should be …Illustrating
And as if all of this wasn’t picky (or is that pricky?) enough – your website frameset doesn’t have a title.
But aside from all that, I like your work Loren.
My God, it’s the real Shecky Greene!
And as if all of this wasn’t picky…
That should be "And as if all of this weren’t picky…"
My God, it’s the real Shecky Greene!
No, that’s Dave Milbut.
R_, you’re a man after my own heart.
Beer to you.
That should be "And as if all of this weren’t picky…"
Not suggesting you are not correct, but why is this the case?
Why would "If all this was not picky enough" be anymore incorrect that "If all this were not picky enough…"?
Can I correctly say "I were too picky", rather than "I was too picky"?
Is in not acceptable usage in English to use WERE for the second person singular (He was picky) but to use WAS for first and third person singular (I was
I was under the impression that it is not acceptable in standard English to use were for the first and third person singular: (I were picky), and was for the second person singular and the plural: (You was picky.)
Is it not true that the first person is implied (I’m being picky) therefore "wasn’t" would be preferred over "weren’t"?
I’ll confess I’m a bit confused over such usage.
I wish my website was in the news like this one.
Loren: the errors stand out now, but I didn’t see them the first time. Now I do. (Psycological rollover)
Rob
I wish my website was in the news like this one.
Would that it were.
I wish I were once wasn’t.
Just once’t, to feel like it seemed as.
When it was the same as before, like I always knew it might be.
Yes, but the real question is could the letters of the word "picky" each be a color?
Objective case.
Thanks.
Further ‘research’ reveals several sources agreeing that this use of wasn’t vs. weren’t is perfectly acceptable in casual, spoken or written colloquial English usage, whereas the objective case usage you mention is for more academic writing.
Wow! I really appreciate all the feedback that I am getting. I never expected anyone to spend that much time on my site. I have corrected the typo that Phosphor mentioned and will be addressing the balance shortly.
shecky_greene raised a couple of questions. In reference to the "Product Design" section, The first two images are the inside and outside graphics for the "can". The last image is the reverse side of the package.
The navagation buttons were meant to be colorized versions of network cable jacks. An extention of the "wired world" metaphor from my splash screen. I intended the alt tags that pop up to be descriptive of each link. I obviously need to rethink this approach.
The balance of the corrections and revisions will be addressed soon.
Thank you all for your insight.

The alt image tag doesn’t function as a "tool-tip" in Mozilla browsers as it does in IE. You have to add the title attribute; not that this is the best solution of the mystery navigation.
And if anyone’s interested, that was/were thing is nothing to do with ‘objective’ or ‘case’, it’s the subjunctive form of a verb. Fully formed in French, but only existing in partial form in English. It’s very confusing because it looks just like other forms of a verb, like a past tense. It’s correctly used in a conditional or hypothetical situation – ‘I was being picky’ is correct, but after ‘if’ you should use the form ‘if I were being picky’. Gradually going the way of much obscure grammar, however.
Incorrect use of case, which is used for nouns and pronouns, not verbs, crops up most often as in
‘the boss told my co-worker and I to …’
You wouldn’t say ‘the boss told I to …’, you’d use ‘me’. Therefore
‘the boss told my co-worker and me to …’
Similarly, ‘me and my brother went bowling’ is wrong on two counts.
You don’t say ‘me went bowling’, so you should be using ‘I’.
Mentally delete the other person from the phrase and you’ll never get it wrong.
Second, it’s manners to put yourself second, so ‘my brother and I’ is how it should be.
Here ends your occasional mini tutorial from the peripatetic grammar-freak, returning you to your normal programming …
Kath:
Nice to know someone else likes to get English right. The number of times I bristle at "If I was you …".
A thread of grammatical hates! My pet aversion is "different to" although in the colonies (sic) it is often "different than" which is even worse. Go back to the verb, one cannot differ to anything, only from it.
Think we might be destined for the lounge here…

Loren,
I intended the alt tags that pop up to be descriptive of each link.<<
That only works in IE and is yet another piece of Microsoft non-standard, non-compliant behaviour. You should use "title=" in order that that a mouseOver creates that effect as in:
<img scr="your_image.jpg" width="50" height="70" title="your_prefered text"
alt="text_for_text-only_browsers">
However, the delay in displaying the title text is usually sufficient to make it fairly useless as a navigation aid.
"If I was you …".
In new jersey that’s: "If I was yoos …"
Len
You made the number one typo for that tag … SCR instead of SRC.
Just putting it into the thread incase someone tries to use the code.
Don,
Well picked-up! I have edited it
John,
Synesthesia… Amazing thing I’ve never knew about before. So I withdraw the Ouija sugerence and I give you a Red (warm) ‘thank you’
๐
Don,
When I first got into HTML I thought it was SCR (Screen) when I realized it was Source SRC made perfect sense.
So it isn’t always a Typo, I used to do it on purpose ๐
Ever read any Robert Anton Wilson, Pierre?
Too long to explain here…Check out his "Cosmic Trigger" books, and the Illuminatus! trilogy.
