Housefish (a furniture designer) has an incredibly cool suspended bed for sale on their site. It's a little out of my price range at the moment ($3000), but it's definitely something I'd love to own in the future. Unfortunately it's a limited edition (only to 5!), so I doubt I'll ever have one. But hey, it's still up there and I've had this bookmarked for several months, so you never know!

Alright, if you've seen Ace of Cakes on the Food Network, you know the name Charm City Cakes.

I desperately want a Charm City Cake original, so I've had this site bookmarked for years. As an aside, I like the design look of their website, but it's Flash (with an HTML option) that's largely built on images (and tables)… definitely a no-no.

The Green Turtle Club in the Bahamas is where I want to go for my next vacation. I've been planning it for awhile (hence the link), but due to an eardrum issue, haven't scheduled it yet (I want to dive when I am there). The GTC is located on the Out Islands of Great Abaco in Green Turtle Cay. You can only get there by boat, it's only three miles long and there are no casinos or traffic. (It's not one of the major destinations.)

The beaches look spectacular, the people seem friendly and I've always wanted to end up on a quiet tropical island.

Smashing Magazine is a great resource for designers of all types, but the post I bookmarked was in May of 2007 titled, "70 Expert Ideas for Better CSS Coding". Some of the information is a no-brainer (but I'm big on following CSS standards and organizing… I won't let anyone else work in my CSS unless they do it the way I do): organize, use borders to identify how the setup is working, pay attention to closing all tags, etc. But some of it still surprises me, like working with EMs.

It's definitely a link I'm glad to have in my repertoire, especially when I run into a wonky problem I can't seem to solve.

The next time I head to San Francisco, I plan to make a stop at DeLessio's Market for the chocolate bubble wrap. Felchlin Felcor chocolate mixed with everything from cocoa nibs to peanut butter, then poured over bubble wrap (or so I hear, it's probably a mold). They have hundreds of reviews on Yelp, so that's probably where I heard about it.

I love chocolate, so anything new also catches my eye.

Banksy is an incredible UK graffiti artist whose work challenges social norms. Everything he does, including indoor graffiti and pen-and-ink drawings, is thought-provoking, often funny, many times sad and truly inspired.

I came across information on him after reading an article on the BBC News, looked up his website and proceeded to bookmark it in my "interesting" folder.

Honestly, I don't even know how to explain McSweeney's, but I've had McSweeney's Recommends bookmarked for ages. It's hysterical and loads of fun and weird and just everything you could ever want in a website built for wasting time. :)

I have probably 20 links for different ways of displaying photo galleries on websites… Flash, javascript, plain CSS, etc., and one of my recent favorites is Cabel's Fancy Zoom. Using Javascript and CSS he's created a beautifully styled photo gallery that's incredibly easy to execute.

I'm not a big fan of Flash—bad SEO, doesn't work on old browsers, etc.—so a Flash-looking javascript gallery is exactly what I'd bookmark.

Back when I originally started doing a lot of CSS design, I found The City Church website via CSSBeauty.com (I think). It's a beautifully designed website, all CSS, clean and contemporary. In the beginning, I often looked to their code to identify how their tabs came out and how they managed to make the site look incredible even on IE.

I believe I found this URL about two years ago, and it resides in my Site Examples folder.

An article on Wired led me to the website for Go Go Curry USA. Apparently Japanese curry is a killer dish (definitely one I've never heard of) and it was this paragraph that sold me…

I love Japan's curry in the same way that a heroin addict loves shooting up. The only significant difference between the two is that eventually, if you stop doing heroin long enough, you are no longer addicted to it. Japanese curry addiction does not leave you even when you move back home. You just spend your days wishing you could eat it again, saving your money so you can fly back to Tokyo and eat more.

So I bookmarked Go Go Curry, and it's in my food travel folder, so I know when I'm looking to head to NYC, it's a place I need to visit.
