got jackson?

Jacksons birthday’s coming up so I’ve been kicking around a few ideas for his party invite. It’s pretty lame I guess but it was cool how I did it all just with Firebug. Switched around some CSS values and updated some text on the page. Kinda reminds me of back in the day playing around with XSS and HTML injections – we’d mainly do it to test for security vulnerabilities, but sometimes we’d have some fun switching out the images and stuff. I’ve really only used Firebug in this way to tweak stuff I’m working on, but it was pretty cool to be able to take something already existing and switch it up to see what it would look like with some different imagery and styles. It’s a pretty strong approach for rapid prototyping, especially for someone like me that’s all but useless with photoshop. It’s not like I have to find something exact, just close enough and containing all the the right elements, then I can twist them all up pretty much any way I want as long as the CSS has been written nicely. Was a problem that it can’t save, but then I found Firediff which seems to do the job but I haven’t tested it out yet.
