There’s not a lot of fully functional crawlers that will spider sites w/ JS links. I guess one could possibly write a Mozilla plug-in to do so?
- BlackWidow – allows plug-ins, possibly allowing spidering of JS generated links
- JPluck – spiders sites, converts to XML, can read Mozilla cookies.txt file
All this bluetooth headset talk reminded me of something that I did for a design class a couple of years ago, so I dug it out of an archive.

Zeldman’s WDW2003 Keynote (see post) includes a slide that points to one of the awesome CSS Zen Garden designs. I haven’t checked back in a while, but there are some real doozies. Favorites so far:
- Stormweather – my favorite of Shea’s designs
- Dead or Alive – quite nice, subtle, well balanced
- Not So Minimal – not as flashy or stylish as some of the others, but clean and well crafted
- Zunflower – the overlapping columns is quite nice
- What Lies Beneath – soft spot for funky horizontals, very creative
- White Lily – beautifully designed
I haven’t really done much visual design work in the past year or two, and probably won’t be having much time in the near future, with work, classes, and projects piled (and piling), but still quite inspirational (and humbling). I’m tempted to try my hand at this when I need to procrastinate blow off some steam… but it’d probably be rather embarrassing.
Talk To Me! – two people have been traveling on foot across NYC for over a year now, spending 8-14hrs a day just having conversations w/ people (on a budget of $7/day). Pretty darn cool.
