  • The colour of the city…

    Every city has its own col­our scheme, influ­enced by the loc­al flora, fauna, ter­rain and dom­in­ant architecture.  The Wal­rus delves into Cana­dian city col­our with this inter­est­ing col­lec­tion of palettes derived from pro­vin­cial cap­it­als and the fed­er­al capital.  For each city, I had to centre on what makes it unique, such as prom­in­ent land­marks or…

  • Can’t get Guitar Hero III for the Wii? Frets on Fire will ease your pain.

The key prob­lem (par­don the pun) was that the black paint on a few of the keys was wear­ing off, allow­ing the back­light­ing to shine through obscur­ing any key let­ter­ing. This key­board was…

  • Alberta Winter on the Desktop

    Happy New Year. I’ve been hav­ing more fun with Pho­toshop and with my new Wacom Bam­boo draw­ing tab­let, and decided to share the fruits of my labour. Here’s a new 1280 x 865 win­tery-themed image, taken one frosty morn­ing out on the trail near the Waska­hegan trail at the Cook­ing Lake-Black­foot Recre­ation Area, just east…
