. I’m sitting here and it’s three in the morning and I’ve come across two sites that have (not quite literally) knocked me off my chair. The first one I just wrote about. The second one is the new {fray} piece by Derek Powazek, illustrated by Claire Robertson: playing with fire. Maybe I get around in the wrong circles or something, but it’s been 5 years or so since Carl (with friends) did Rats to Cats, and I haven’t seen anyone really push the idea of illustration on the web, mixed with great text, in the same way that Derek and Claire have now done. Congratulations are in order.
Minor changes
to mikel.org this morning. First up, I’ve ditched the “cam” link from the main navigation at the top right. It wasn’t really a webcam per se anymore – it was just a popup with a static picture. I’ve replaced it with “msg me” – through which you can send a short message to my cel. I added the cam link on the side, along with a link to the Oh Candy Land weblog I’m having fun with now. I also split off the different categories of links from one another a little bit more – although I didn’t bother to add category text because it seems to me that the differences are more or less self-evident. The first group of links is to projects I’m involved in or things I’ve done on the site. The second set (only two links) are to things I’ve been involved with for some years. And the bulk of the links are to other weblogs.
Oh! Candy Land
Oh! Candy Land. The new new thing is a collaborative weblog that Heather has organized. Fellow travelers include Daniel, Karen, and Dinah. Gimme some candy, baby!
It seems that
the 5K contest has landed at a new home with a brand new website. It’s now called the5k.org and it’s apparently a “Metafilter network member site”. The site itself looks really great – particularly the contest participant pages. On a single page you get a description of the site, a button with which to launch it in a new window, a way to initiate discussion about the entry inline, and a rating box on the right. [via Ed]
Feed is running
an interesting essay on movie blood and guts in cultural/historical perspective by Lauren Sandler. About 3/4 of the way down the page is an underused sort of hyperlink – to pop-ups containing additional notes on the text.
One could very easily make a compelling case that the web isn’t truly hypertext at all. Or that it’s only narrowly so, not deeply hypertextual.
