every now and then

you come across a website that's really pretty. that says "Yes, there is more to the internet than myspace".

the website i came across (or rather visited for the first time in ages) is brendan dawes' website. he changes it every five minutes but i really like the current layout. it's nice and clean, and the current interface with it bouncy pixels makes you want to interact with it. once rolled over the bouncy pixels which reflect how many comments the post got, turn into a clear image. it's all to do with visualizing blog activity.
another little thing he's made that visualizes blog activity is the info mouse thing where you click and drag your mouse across the page, and as the words appear the black ink in the mouse depletes. it's COOL.

another pretty website i found today is flight404 which features some damn sexy work done with processing.

someone please teach me processing now.

please.
