My Theory of Deliciousness

Digital Citizen Leave a comment

The Theory of Deliciousness is a term I learned the evening I created this blog (July 19 2016), from this great article on David Chang’s Unified Theory of Deliciousness, from Wired Magazine. It basically gives his theory on some complex guidelines he has for creating what he hopes to be the next delicious dish for humans despite their backgrounds, cultures, etc.


My Theory of Deliciousness is the presence of balanced contrasting features in one creation to enhance the impact of each feature through a simultaneous presence of the opposing feature. Think “sweet & sour” in Chinese cuisine, for an example. You can appreciate something more if you knew what the opposite of it were like, or had it there to contrast against at the same time. Think of how much better success felt when you had failed numerous times before compared to easy success on the first try. The only difference is no flavour would be considered bad at all times, even if some may be considered negatively most of the time, like bitterness that might be comparable to failure. Each has their own value, especially in certain situations. Continue reading →

147 Harry Potter Backgrounds for the iPhone, iTouch, iPod Touch and Palm Pre (320×480 pixels)

Nov 30 2010 update

I’m still working to add more! I’d have put them all in two or more sets to keep things manageable, but that would have just driven some users crazy to flip back and forth to compare so I will include all the wallpapers here. When I am done adding, I will take off this note.

I will also label and organize the wallpapers by characters a bit better.

These Harry Potter backgrounds are meant for all models of the iPhone, iTouch, iPod Touch and Palm Pre. However, you can also use these as profile pictures in Facebook or other applications that do not require a square picture.

The wallpaper size is 480 x 320 pixels, or similar in ratio to a 6″ x 4″ photo. Apple and Palm went the size ratio of typical photos that people take.

My contribution to these wallpapers was the choice of cropping to get a nice picture, resizing to properly fit the iPhone, iPod Touch, iTouch and Palm Pre screens, with some touch up to remove certain background, adjust punch of colour, etc. The small size of these wallpapers allowed for some beautiful close-up cropping of the monitor wallpapers I only wish I had resolution for to make printable pictures from to share! There are going to be some seriously stunning iPhones, iTouch, iPod Touch and Palm Pre out there with some of these and other wallpapers I plan to be making for them!

Enjoy!

Harry Potter Pictures for Facebook and MySpace Profiles, Twitter Buddy Icons and Avatars

Other Harry Potter graphics on this blog:

Just in time for the premiere of the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince…

Someone created a great poster of 20 Harry Potter character sketches. I broke it apart and optimized the individual drawings to be 256 pixels wide that is optimal for Facebook profile pictures.

From having created one of the Harry Potter Facebook friends tagging meme posters back in March, I also have some small photos of Harry Potter characters. These are only 156 pixels wide, the odd size being to fit into that poster. However, they can still serve many applications like Twitter, WordPress and other blogs, etc. Please just note that with most icons and avatars, a square shape is desired, typically 128 pixels squared or less. If you use the ones I have provided below, there may be some cutting off or cropping. However, I think most people will be OK because the face will be captured well, and that’s what matters most.

To get the icons, please:

Enjoy!
