a
Museum{ent} guaranteed! To be honest and perfectly honest - this must
be the most advanced site design I've seen to date! Best seen with IE5+
in full version.
A Museum lends itself as a web trend setter using a fabulous chromeless
site with multiple-icons that either, change page placement or when you
hit the refresh button, voilà! new icons load and lead you to
their very own snapshot galleries!
Groninger Museum achieves a true melding with the online platform yet
through a simple interface.
The experience is as being there and actually - very much so - encourages
you to want to *see* it in real life.
The different pages mostly color keyed are changing in sizes and window
placement using dhtml scrollbars throughout. There is a real technology
feat as well as visual achievement from top to bottom.
They provide a very good list of links to other museums and related
topics and the calendar of activities is dynamic.
This site epitomizes what the web can become visually... from a technology
point of view - cross-platform would be nice too.
Want
to have your site referenced on an upcoming project? iMusuem is accepting
submissions.

review of Illustrator

Life
has unexpected twists & turns. How do you best manage these? Flexibility
is the best way to go. Rigidity brings clashes and breaking of both spirit
and the heart.
We all need to adapt to new situations and this, is how
our inner strength grows.
The
new issue of Codex
3 is out! Featuring 14 projects by ALT77, K10K, Rinzen, Develop Industrial,
Dect, Elixir Studio, Mike Young, Automatic, Norm, The OFP, Steve Bowden
and Toby Boudreaux, Presstube and Pitaru, Wideopenspaces produced by Volumeone.
*Spring
to Life* is the new theme for the index + what*new? page.
Btw heard that we're officially out of recession... slow
recovery is on the horizon.
When
the most unexpected happens and in the middle of trials - this is when
your true friends will arise.
Cherish them - in life, only relationships make a true
difference.
