I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.

Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the colors they refer to.

It's like a box of Crayola for the internet. Finally, my colorblind self can grab a sample of "dark magenta" that doesn't just look like "grape purple" to everyone else.

The data is freely available as a .txt file under CC0, which I've converted into a .css file here: https://git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.net/src/branch/main/static/xkcd.css

so now when I want a color on my website I can just write `color: var(--xkcd-off-white)` or so on. it's really convenient :)

Just found a bloated 5.8 MB JavaScript bundle in this Reese's! 😱

A very mid/poor week for me. I hit 5 of the above picks (ND, Leonard under, IU, VAN, and PSU). Hopefully will do better in #week10 #runtheboard
Just made 50% progress on #citystrides of Austin’s 9320 streets. #running
My @solidverbal #runtheboard #week9 picks: ND -14.5, Leonard under 194.5 passing, IU -5.5, OSU -25.5, MTS +16.5, UCF -2.5, ILL +21.5, VAN +18.5, PSU -6.5, MSU +4.5, LSU +1.5, Nussmeier under 284.5 passing. I have only had one good week this year with picks so my expectations are not high.
I have four movie theater credits to use and am not sure what to see. Not big into horror movies (despite the time of year). Piece by Piece? Transformers One? Saturday Night?
Fixed overnight. Can get some work done from the house today which is nice.
