As our regular audience on BifSniff dwindles (hello Googlers!) it’s nice to know exactly who each post is aimed at, and this one is for janie 
ColourLovers.com is both a brilliant and beautifully designed site.
I haven’t even begun to explore half the functionality, but I have been using it to develop colour pallettes when designing. During the design process you can get pretty colour jaded and lose sight of what’s working and new ways of discovering colours.
ColourLovers allows you to use a photograph as a point of reference and begin to build a pallette based on the colours in the photo. It’s pure genius and gets the creative juices kickstarted if you’re in a rut!
Here’s my profile, I’ve only just begun to use it, so my pallettes are limited, but I am getting the hang of it!
Also, I found a great tutorial linked to on ColourLovers which shows how to create repeating patterns. Cool.

Martin Scorsese is to make a biopic of legendary singer Frank Sinatra. That is according to Sinatra’s film producer daughter anyway. There is suggestion that the film will not be about his mob links but since Scorsese’s involvement or role aren’t even confirmed yet let’s wait and see what kind of film it will be.
Apparently Scorsese once tried to make a biopic about Sinatra’s fellow Rat Packer, Dean Martin, with Tom Hanks as Martin.

Here’s the latest Incredible Hulk trailer. Might be a little slow to load but I do like the HD quality.
I thought this film was a bad idea when I first heard about it. Nothing I have seen has changed my mind. I’ve seen their Hulk, I’ve seen their Abomination, I know the story from their trailers. Why should I both going to see this film?
Like Iron Man, I’ll just leave it to Frank. 
Update I found a newer one. Still not convinced.

I had been given a sneak preview of TwitterFone by Pat so I was looking forward to playing with it, but I’ve been so busy I only now got a chance to check this out.
The premise is simple: Sign up, call a local number, speak and what you say will be submitted as text to Twitter.
If you don’t know what Twitter is then this will be meaningless to you - video explaining Twitter in plain English here, and a blog post by me on Twitter here.
TwitterFone is a very cool site, looks lovely and worked perfectly for me on my first go. I have seen some rather interesting transcriptions arising out of it from other people, but it’s all part of the fun if you ask me!
Take this for example:
At 15 May, 2008 08:21 conoro said “Waiting for Louise and (Phelan?) Colder in Dublin. I would tell you there is moist in my t-shirt. yeyeah….”
I’m not sure that’s quite what Conor meant to send to Twitter, but it gave us plenty of entertainment, so who’s complaining?
I love the fact you can go and listen to the original recording, TwitterFone puts a link to a page with the sound file when it submits a tweet, at the time of writing this I couldnb’t check what Conor recorded, and I did also have some small issues in figuring out the registration process, but I think all those problems may be because the site is a little slow responding, I’m guessing because it’s been too successful. Now there’s a good complaint!
Well done Pat Phelan, and everyone involved on this really fun site.
Go and check it out. It’s fun to speak your Tweets!
