Who is Craig?
Craig Lotter is a 29-year-old software and web developer based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa. For some or other reason he still hasn't managed to shake off that pesky little inner child within, hence his current pack of interests it would seem.
Call him a fanboy, geek, nerd or whatever you want, just so long as you enjoy what he writes.
What Craig Writes
I currently run three blogs, namely The CodeUnit of Craig which details various code snippets, tutorials and commentary on software and technology, The Rugged Rock of Craig which chronicles my life and fanboy musings and reviews on things like anime, popular culture and martial arts, and then finally The House of C which houses the web comic I currently produce in my spare time (which turns out not to be all that much!).

Excellent jQuery Color Picker Plugin
I stumbled upon this frankly excellent, though unfortunately generically named, jQuery color picker plugin the other day. Color Picker is a jquery plugin developed by Stefan Petre, which simply put, delivers you with a neat little widget that allows a user to select a color the same way you would select a color in a graphics application like say Adobe Photoshop.
