IDblog ... an information design weblog

Web inspiration

I'm here at work on Saturday because Amy Lee is moving into my office on Monday. Big yay! She's moving into a position that will manage both the design function (which was currently open) and the production function (which I used to manage). I'm getting out of the mgmt biz to have enough mental energy to go back to school. BTW, Mike (Amy's hubby) was close. AARP used to stand for American Association of Retired Persons. Now it is just AARP (think IBM or KFC). And it pronounced A-A-R-P. None of those canine-sounding single syllables for us!

So...that said, I came in to finish moving out of my old digs and into a new office around the corner that was just vacated by a colleague off to Florida. It's a nice space, tho I miss my windows :). Worse, my old (very) boombox is not picking up WJFK. What, no Don and Mike in the afternoons? Yikes. I gotta work on that.

Anyways, here's the payoff if you're still reading after all this. So, in between moving boxes and dumping drawers, I found wellvetted.com (courtesy of URLwire). Instead of finishing the last remnants of packing, I have been sitting here clicking back and forth among some really cool sites. Don't go if you're violently anti-Flash, but if you're the type who likes looking at design annuals for the inspiration, you're sure to get sucked in too.

Of the ones I checked, my fave so far is Yulia Nau. Contrary to my normal "where's the skip intro link" reaction, I found myself mesmerized by the amazingly crafted dragon. (Hint, pay attention to your mouse cursor.)

Comments

Thanks for the linkage, glad you found WellVetted interesting and noteworthy. Note, we'll be publishing a new list on or around the 7th of each month. Regards, Rob.
