I found an awesome tutorial today using RMagick to create some nifty photo collages with a transparent, slide-like photos, and I can’t wait to try it out. I’m installing RMagick now and plan to experiment. Another nifty graphics-related tool that my dad found and sent to me was Fyre: “Fyre is a tool for producing computational artwork based on histograms of iterated chaotic functions.” Check out its gallery. I played with it a little today at work, and plan to more here in a little bit.

I’ve got an idea for a layout that would involve a different look for the index than the regular pages/entries. I want the index to be a collection of little boxes that hold links to my recent entries, del.icio.us links, comments, etc. The del.icio.us links especially, because I think they would be a good resource for people. I update them daily at work, because I’m always finding cool sites, and they’re very centered on Ruby, Rails, web design, graphics design, and Linux.
