  • Ten Thousand Statistically Grammar-Average Fake Band Names
    I call dibs on "Atlas Plume" and "Lifelike Pancake Carcass."
  • Romance in the age of uncertainty
    "So most people buying modern art are just paying for the
    privilege to participate in the in-joke of which they are the
    punch-line."
  • Pine Point – National Film Board of Canada
    A Canadian mining town that no longer exists. Pretty marvelous treatment of analog materials, and one of the better examples of website-as-documentary so far.
  • Metagames: Games About Games – Waxy.org
    "Over the last few years, I’ve been collecting examples of metagames — not the strategy of metagaming, but playable games about videogames."

    Amazing material here.

  • A List Apart: Articles: A Simpler Page
    "We need a starting point. We know HTML is the future so why not build a core design template for long form tablet reading? With this in mind, I set out to build just that. The end result is called Bibliotype. It’s a simple set of CSS, HTML, and JS files that provide a base for anyone looking to bring long form reading to tablets (be it in a CMS, blog, iOS app—anything using WebKit as a renderer)."

    Also includes some good, common-sense considerations for designing for the small screen.

  • Infinite Glitch – Info
    "Infinite Glitch is an automated system that generates an ever-changing audio/video stream from the constantly increasing mass of media files freely available on the web. Source audio and video files are ripped from a variety of popular media hosting sites, torn apart, and recombined using collage and glitch techniques to create an organic, chaotic flood of sensory input."

    Incredible.
