Does anyone remember the Orange balloon race?
Rainbow!
Well, I was sorting out my bookmarks the other day and came across a folder of things I meant to look at from the balloon race, so I thought I’d share them with you. I’ve put them into alphabetical order by sort-of-subject… you’ll get the idea (I hope).
Art, Design & Photography
- Chris Charles - photos I can imagine hanging on my walls…
- Hexapus Doodle Book - blog of cartoons, some touching, some arty, some a bit creepy!
- Jan Peter Thompson - student designer with some interesting projects.
- Munkeybars - designer Patrick Barba’s portfolio.
- Phase Six creative - Canadian design consultancy.
- Richard Wild, photographer - very interesting arty photographs that kind of remind me of Helmut Newton at times.
Computing
- 8 bit hero - gaming, 80s style.
- 48k awards - oldskool celebrity pixel art.
Environment and living
- Green upgrader - an excellent blog about living a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
Games
- Reverse Breakout - it will melted your brains…
Humour
- Coin Stack Challenge - well, it made me laugh.
- Survive animal attack - cute cartoons with an educational message. Well worth ten minutes of your time.
- Top Ten Literal Album Covers - why? Just why? Did nobody have any better ideas? A great site celebrating the record biz’s lack of imagination…
- Top Fourteen Oddest Celebrity Childrens’ Books - and boy are some of these odd!!!
- Your parents are lying to you - top “facts” parents tell children that are as fake as a nine-bob note…
Management
- Synyx - leadership and management development.
Shopping
- Cheap Bargains.org - does just what it says on the tin.
- Sell Student Books - second-hand textbooks for sale. What a great idea!
Travel
- Scuba Diving in Egypt - been to Sharm-el-Sheikh, can recommend it, and this looks a great site for info if you’ve never been.
Web
- Dave Keen - developer for hire, with a nicely designed site.
- Internet Alphabet - nice A-Z of web sites. Worth printing and pinning on the wall!
- Simple Content - a nice looking site promoting their CMS product.
I’ve got more but I got bored. Maybe next time
