One for those who like words

A poetry slam in the the Bowery Poetry Club in New York poking fun at spellcheckers and the importance of proofreading. (via)

This reminded me of the Anguish Languish as revealed to me in school by our library teacher Louise Steytler. She gave me a photocopy of ‘Ladle Rat Rotten Hut’ which I still have. I love rollicking language.

Useful and visually appealing 3D navigation

March 11, 2008

Most gimmicky navigation ideas don’t appeal to me, as they don’t seem to add anything to the normal way of navigating around a pile of links to information. But this one grabbed my attention.

It is a 3D view of their site, by WHITEvoid from Berlin, Germany. The navigation works for me, because you always feel like you know where you are, and what else there is to see. You never seem to get lost as easily as with other sites. Worth a look, an application to aspire to.

La Linea

Via Frits’s blog I am delighted to find that La Linea is on Youtube. Hooray!

I loved these as a child on TV. Would watch it with my brother and we would imitate the talking. The spitting maniacal laughter always stayed in my mind.
