gravilux. so purty. (via the kottke)

i’ve been behind in my reading, but i finally managed to start taking a look at the Resources on Information Design: Models, Processes, and Techniques article cam pointed out a few days ago. some good stuff linked from there.

i finally got a chance to catch up w/ an old friend, and he pointed me out to a cool site call slick deals that gathers up all kinds special offers. pretty cool stuff.

heh, wow, my site is one of two returned by yahoo’s inktomi search on “Netscape6 +XML”. the other site incidentally is the university of mannheim’s ftp file listing.

i’ve been trying to cut down on my random web surfing the past few days because my backlog of work is starting to spiral out of control. suffice to say i will be pulling a fair share of allnighters this coming week. right now i have a fairly good schedule up until my 9am class. i’m doing ok, although i will begin to eat into my 1 hour slack time in about 25 minutes (running behind on finishing up my photo stuff).

my photo project, incidentally has been taking a _large_ chunk of my time. i’m doing quite a bit of manipulation and doing quadtone inkjet prints. i am going to try to get to burning some film in the next few days (film recorder, wee) and doing some chemical prints in the next week.

oh, phil askey posted up his coolpix 990 review. pretty sweet. i’ll probably be waiting until the next round though, my 950 still has life in it yet.

lowerbound searches for the lowest price on hardware from 11 different price scanning engines.

awesome niftiness: find the black dot! (via the girl)

i just started play around with it, but yest, deepleap does appear to be pretty cool.

i’d buy from outpost.com more often, but not being to bookmark product pages (or at least store items in some sort of wishlist) is a pain. broadvision sucks.

this is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day. check out the windows 2000 source code. lowell high has a pretty comprehensive webpage for a high school. maybe i’m just behind the times and out of touch.

(related:) in 1996 i had created a design for my high school at the request of the newly formed (and really lame) “internet club.” looking back at it, it’s admittedly lame (rather like looking at embarrassing baby pictures), but they decided not to use it. after some searching, i was able to find the current school site. at least they got rid of most of the blinking multisized / multicolored text.

yeah, and while i was digging through my old stuff, and found all kinds of old stuff old stuff – it’s weird knowing that i’ll be looking back on the stuff i’m typing now in two years with the same mixture of horror and car-crash curiosity.

nikolai’s redesign is really cool. the only part i don’t like is the pointer biz. grrr.

i’m surpressing my urge to redesign instead of doing the work i should be doing.
