I was about to plonk out $30 for a piece of software called "Art Directors Toolkit" but at the last minute I decided it was a bit too much to pay. All I wanted was ONE feature, not the other hundred features, nice as they are, but I would never use them. It does have a handy ruler, to measure pixels on the screen, but I already have SmallScreenX which essentially does the same thing (and is FREE).
So, with a quick search on VersionTracker, I found QuickPicker!
This is an excellent tool that lets you find the hex value of any colour on your screen. This is so essential for web designers, and a time saver for those who usually have to take their pictures into PhotoShop to view the hex value there.
QuickPicker is free. I saved $30 today!
I took a trip to the developer's web site to make a $5 donation, but he does not have such an implementation. I e-mailed him the suggestion of setting up a PayPal donation button.
Using FruitMenu, I have implemented QuickPicker as a handy contextual menu item - making it always within one mouse click away to find that elusive colour value!
In summary, if you are a web designer on Mac OS X, make sure you have:

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
