another awesome app
Check this out. I did not mean to buy it, but now that I did, it is pretty cool. (I was looking for a font or typography related app, and this one popped up, and I accidentally hit “buy” when I really meant to preview it.) Anyways, you select a font, write a word or little phrase, and then you draw a picture or write a note using the font and text you have created. The speed you “draw” at determines the size of the font. You can also adjust the opacity and change the background. This is a really sloppy one I made just to experiment! Unlike the myPantone post I did earlier, I have yet to find a clever use for this app, aside from trying to look busy and unapproachable while I wait in line at the grocery store.

somewhat obsessive behavior
I have just discovered (thank you Dylan!) a brilliant new app for iPhone, the myPantone color app. This app is sheer friggin’ blow your mind genius. (I love love love color schematics, so even if it weren’t genius, I would probably still buy it and blissfully extol its mediocrity, I am that hopelessly besotted.) In brief, it gives you 7 or 8 pantone color books to flip through, as well as the ability to take a snapshot and then pull the pantone hues out of the image and create numerous custom color palettes.
Now, you may ask – aside from geeking out with my iPhone, what else would I use this somewhat pricey ($9.99) app for? Ah ha! Here’s what I am going to do! Photograph all my favorite clothes and create custom color palettes based on outfit combinations! Then, anytime I am out shopping, and I am wondering if I should buy something, and if so, what would I wear it with, I can photograph the item in question, pull out some swatches, and see if they match any of my in-heavy-rotation palettes. I will never again have one of those moments where I’m like, this sweater would look awesome with these pants, but I wish I had noticed at the store that they were two completely non-coordinateable* shades of ochre! Also, once you create a color palette, you can email it, and the email includes the ASE files to send your swatches to Photoshop!
* Non-coordinateable may not be a real word. Spell check says it isn’t, but spell-check also says the word geeking should not be used as a verb, and that I am spelling ochre wrong, which I don’t think I am. Or perhaps I am, and I am just stubborn.

innnnteresting. It sort of looks like you’ll have to pick one or the other – either live forever as a telomerase-tumor-growing science project, or stay all mortal and low-tech.
