I just decided to create a new category dedicated to the extra-ordinary encounters made while surfing the web. Talent is everywhere and sometimes some people, their ideas, their work, their art, stand out of the crowd because they bring a new dimension to our eyes And there you dive... right into an unexpected, yet delicious... emotional landscape. Now, as a matter of fact, I realized today that del.icio.us-ing them was just not fair enough. I think they deserve a special series of posts that I'm going to share with you here. Introducing the new category :
Honoring Talented Earthlings.
Honoring Talented Earthlings.
For the first post of this category, allow me to drive you through a few gems of the third kind that touched me. The first two were recently pointed by Asi Sharaby's No Man's Blog (thanks Asi!). Two little sites taking me off limits that I'd like to share here. The first being a brilliant idea at the entrance of Joe Michael Lambert Davis' website. Joe made tea. So what? Well, check it out. And don't forget to click down to the very end ">". ; )
The second is Miranda July's unexpected, odd, fun, playful site: www.noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com (just had to write it). Wow again... love the idea and the personality that comes with it. Get your mouse button ready, but don't worry it is not a shoot'em up kind of thing at all. Smart & simple. Oh boy... I love the kitchen again.
The third (being the first, as it sources the image I've chosen to illustrate this post - although there is no ranking or order intended here)... is the blog o Web/UI designer ilina S. from NYC. Now I found this one while looking for an illustration on Flickr, using the keyword "website". How silly sometimes a search leads you to discover magic finds -the word "magic" is in the root of her blog!-. I saw the image announcement of her new blog and followed the link. This lead me to like the pictures I saw there and so to click back to ilina's Flickr account where I found this strangely fascinating picture:
Beautiful picture, isn't it? Well read the comments and see how much people liked it. I'd recommend also to take the time to read the legend of the picture and you'll understand that there is indeed a lot of talent between us and the balustrade.
cheers for the shout out mate.
be good
A.
