I don't understand what do the 9 colors have to do with love? Gary ------------------ |

The number 9 represents wholeness and 108 when added together equals 9. 1+0+8 = 9. Interestingly, if you multiply 9 times ANYTHING, the answer is always 9 when you add the numbers together. Try it! 1x9= 9. 2x9=18 1+8=9. 285x9=2565 2+5+6+5=18 1+8=9. 8543x9=76887 7+6+8+8+7=36 3+6=9 The logic behind this is that 9 represents wholeness or God and God times anything is always God since God is all there is! |

quote: Actually, of course, my interest had nothing to do with love, colors, or 9. The history of the applet is that my family took a trip to the Adirondacks, including a side trip to Middlebury VT. At Middlebury College we saw Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture. I didn't think about it aside from noting it. A few days later my daughter got sick and I stayed home with her. Looking for something to distract myself I noticed a LOVE stamp (originally 2002, when it was 34 cents, but now 37 cents). Its simple geometry allowed me to do LOVE 37 USA. Later I thought that finding a nice way to change the colors might make an interesting user-interface exercise. The result was LOVE in 9 COLORS. |

Added the option of changing all the colors randomly at the same time: click on the colored box to the right of the sliders. [This message has been edited by LeoWong (edited July 06, 2005).] |
