vivabit's scalable site

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I love Vivabit's website design for one reason: it's perfectly scalable. In other words, it's incredibly well designed. It's also a very "fresh" site, in the sense that the different components work very well together and give breath to the design.

But the absolute beauty of it is it's scalability.

the daily coyote

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I recently found The Daily Coyote and it's quickly become one of my favorite photoblogs. The basic description of the site is that a ten-day-old coyote cub was orphaned and moved in with Shreve Stockton and her tomcat in Wyoming. The pictures are evocative and lovely and have made me wish for a coyote of my own.

shawn feeney's bff project

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

An artist named Shawn Feeney is creating composite facial drawings using the faces of best friends, and eventually he plans to create one drawing that's a combination of all the faces.

The images he's created are incredibly entertaining, and as each new set goes up (he only has 19 now), it heightens my anticipation for the final sketch.

the walker bay rigid dinghy

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

I first heard of the Walker Bay boats on Craigslist and promptly fell in love. The 8 series is small enough for me to lift on top of my car, but big enough to hold two people and a dog. The perfect little boat for cruising around the bay near our house.

It's a little expensive, so I mainly cruise boards looking for used ones, but I'm also planning to ask Santa to stick one in my stocking. ;) For now I'm content to have it high on my bookmark list.
