speechless about the speech

i am feeling very nice. hopefully nobody will rip it apart tomorrow because i'm satisfied with it and i can't take another ego crush right now.

it's alive! if you're interested in following the paths:

home > dive now! > padi divemaster > register
home > community > blog (fake blogspot)

now...it's time to start on layouts again.

my internet

1. My Internet doesn't use flash, evahhh. Unless it's a video, and then only for video.

2. My Internet prefers html text wherever possible.

3. My Internet lets me use my email address or my usual username as a username. It doesn't give me one or make me create a new one.

4. My Internet lets me use a password entirely of my own choosing. It doesn't make me add numbers or Capitals wH3re I don't want them.

5. My Internet values simplicity and clarity over almost everything else.

6. My Internet prefers tools that I'm familiar with like Flickr, YouTube, iTunes, Google etc. It doesn't reinvent convention for the sake of it.

7. My Internet has a screen resolution of 1024x768. Today. As I write this. That will change sooner than you think.

8. My Internet has absolute urls for everything.

9. My Internet may not have exactly the same colours as My Printed Matter.

10. If My Internet was forced to choose between speed and visual lushness, speed would win easily.

11. My Internet has no back, forward or print buttons. That's what My Browser is for.

12. My Internet has contact details clearly accessible right from the word go.

13. My Internet will not work for everyone, everywhere, always, at the same time, all the time. It will especially not work for CEO's Aunties.

from things i look at that you're looking at by way of noisy decent graphics

a way the internet could, should, strives to be. certainly want to look back at my website through this perspective.

eerie, spooky; i love it. has anyone read bone? a lot of his characters remind me of what bone creatures might look like in reality. i wish i could read it but alas, the cyrillic alphabet is a bit over my head.

smashLAB

smashLAB is "a strategic interactive agency that facilitates breakthrough online communications." hefty words, but looking at their sites, i believe it. these pages all have a lot of information and a lottt going on, but through hierarchy, organization, pattern, and a good dose of sexiness too, these sites are a breeze to visit, even though i might not normally be interested in their content. yum!

"I want to communicate that a book cover isn't just like a television screen made out of paper. It's the surface of something, yet paradoxically it's the thing itself, the skin around the skull, not just a piece of advertising put on the top of the book."

i am so frustrated and lost right now.

i want to be the best but i am not. i’d rather give up than be only good.

craig mod

www.craigmod.com

it took me a moment to figure out the nav for this site, but this is only because it's a hub for his many other sites. i am jealous of his programming skillz. also all of his skillz. he speaks/lives in japan, runs a book publishing house, a music press, and of course many sites. all of them are a treat and actual journey to figure out the context and reason for the site.
