DusK: A few words on SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and piracy

itstartsatdusk:

“As much as people are advocating piracy nowadays, do yourselves a favor: There’s a lot of music, movies, games, and software out there that’s definitely worth the money. Buy your stuff.”

I posted that on Facebook recently, and a shortened version of it on Twitter, and I stand by it. Right now,…

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Mahatma Gandhi (via kari-shma)

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best; we must do what is required.

Winston Churchill (via kari-shma)

I love CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, they remind me of politicians. They all hang together, half of the bastards don’t work and the ones that do, aren’t that bright.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

Grease Pad

So I’m working on a new project codenamed Grase Pad (it’s a random codename, but it pertains to what the finial product will be).  It’s basically a vehicle maintenance/service tracking app, I’m designing it with joe user in mind and not garages.

I’m actually at a cross-roads though… should I use iCould for data storage or just normal document sharing through iTunes… or both?

The other problem is, I’m going to be hosting a database for this app to on the Renegade Studio’s servers that contain things like recommended replacements, etc.

Also one of the plans down the line is to integrate a service manual type system so if an actual grease monkey runs into problems they can find the information they need for their vehicle at the tap of a button.  But thats a future problem and not a present. 

More logo concepts!

So here are some of the logo concepts for the other family of websites.

First up the two quantumRadio concepts ( there just different colour schemes )

Black and Purple
quantumRadio Black and Purple

Black and Blue:

quantumRadio Black and Blue

And next is Renegade Music:

Black and Orange/Yellow:
Renegade Music Black and Orange/Yellow 

So here they are along with the previously shown Renegade Studios logo.
Renegade Studios Black and Red 

I’ll release the RazorIRC logo within the next few weeks.  It’ll be a combination of the Renegade Studios, Music and quantumRadio colours.

Renegade Studios Logo concept and network colour schemes!

So I’ve come up with a quick concept for the Renegade Studios logo, it’s a text based logo, I’ll probably add an emblem/icon down the road once I’ve come up with something I’m satisfied with…

Renegade Studio Logo

This is in no way the final logo, it’s just the concept and is subject to change!

As you can tell by the colour scheme of the logo the primary colours of the Renegade Studios website is going to be Black and Red.

The other sites within the Renegade Studios network will use similar colour schemes.

Renegade Music will be Black and Orange.

quamtumRadio will either be a Black and Blue (which is what it always has been.) or move to one of our old sister sites schemes of Black and Purple.

RazorIRC will actually have 4 primary colours (this website will actually be the only one planned to have a scheme chooser) which is Black and either Yellow, Blue or Green.
