Life is grand

I don’t use any of the personalised home page services like Netvibes or PageFlakes but I thought I’d check out the new themes you can select for Google’s one.

As you can see a colour blind monkey with herpes must have been left in a room with crayons and open tins of paint.

I wouldn’t normally pick on Google over design/style issues because they never even try. They just make usable interfaces and leave it at that. I use those interfaces all day (GMail, Calendar, Reader etc.) and think they are fine.

But when they do try, as above, they get it spectacularly wrong.

Have a go yourself.

(If you are the guy at Google who did these themes then I apologise for making fun of you, I really don’t want you to feel hurt, I just think the themes are hilariously ugly.)
