Reposting this from an email I sent to the web design list, as I found the color generator provided by the instructor didn't provide enough description for my former art student self.

I wanted to find the RGB values for a specific color, and found that I could just open a search engine and search for:
How do you make dark green in rgb?
And I found easy results.

It also led me to this website which I am now hooked on:
This website has all the information you need to create colors: the edit field allows you to enter any color value, i.e., hex number, RGB, or just the plain color word, such as "dark green," and then gives you all the ways to create it.
It also lists colors by name, defines all sorts of color terminology, and tells you if the color is web safe.
ColorHexa.com
https://www.colorhexa.com/

Lastly, if you have a favorite artist or painting, you can open a search engine and enter something like this:
Vermeer +color palette
And find out which specific colors that artist used.

Now that I feel mostly confident that I am familiar enough with the GitHub interface that I can reliably reproduce the same steps with the same results, I wanted to start from the beginning with creating a new account, and then create a new repository and upload my web page to it. You only get one account per email address on GitHub, so I used my neglected gmail account.

I've also switched my browser to Firefox (as opposed to Google Chrome), because that's the browser that has the most accessibility add-ons for any level of code or web development with a screen reader.

The bad news: of course there were variations from what I experienced using Chrome, but I'm not sure if it is the browser or just me noticing more this time around because I'm more relaxed. The ocd in me wants to be *positive* to get the *identical* results *every time*, even though the small (microscopic, actually) sane part of my brain keeps calmly repeating that that way madness lies.

Well, we're all mad here, right?

The good news is that I've significantly cut down on the steps involved in signing up and getting web page files onto GitHub.

The new account is going to be the one I use and I'm keeping my old one for experimenting with.

The new web page will be kestrell7.github.io

Next step: add html to the help docs and upload them to the kestrell7 web page.

I recently did some consulting on an accessible game being designed by a group of MIT mechanical engineering students. I hadn't done any consulting for the past few years, so this was a huge amount of fun. The game involves tactile cards, RFID, and a talking gadget (I spent a lot of time dwelling on my love of Turret in Portal).

There will be a live webstream of the students giving their presentation, and possibly some video of comments from me. The start time of the Webstream is 7 PM, and the accessible game presentation should be at about 7:45 at
