BoingBoing reports that Cadbury, the people who bring you those gooey creme eggs at Easter, have trademarked the colour purple. Presumably this is the specific shade that they use, as a later commenter points out that "UPS brown" is Pantone shade 0607298.

When I was working at the Houston Press, the art department had an enormous poster of Pantone shades -- "enormous" as in "it filled most of a wall". News like this makes me wish that I still had access to such a thing, because I would so put together an archive noting down the exact shades which correspond to "Barbie pink", "G.I. Joe green", "McDonald's yellow" and the like.

I haven't had one of these in a while, and it's long overdue. If you catch me working, chide me and make me stop!

I really shouldn't be anywhere near the computer, but eh; the big leather chair is comfy and this way I get to control the music. (At some point I really must turn that old PalmPilot into an IR remote for the in-progress PVR/jukebox. But not this weekend!)

I'm reading Armistead Maupin's Maybe the Moon, which has been on my to-read shelf for several months now. I'll let you all know how it was. I have cinnamon and vanilla candles going, and I'm indulging in chips and queso. Sometimes it is nice to be a lazy schlub.

Also, Cedar Falls tomorrow!
