Redesign Complete @ CGCC : The redesign is complete and we've relaunched the new website at work: Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Phew. It was a fun 6 months with a lot of brainstorming, sifting and work. I am very, very pleased. It is amazing to see your work affect a website consisting of close to 1000 web pages. Our system is now completely template driven (server-side includes, css). We can update the entire website with a new design in less than an hour. We've also integrated marketing much more tightly. It is, quite simply, one of the most consistant college websites I've seen. Read more about the changes to the site design I posted here: CGCC Website.

FeedDemon RSS Reader : Beta software RSS reader, but looks slick as hell. I'm in. I've played with some RSS readers before for windows, but haven't come across one that seemed like care and attention were given to design. My search is over. For Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP or 2003 / IE 6. (Via Two Eyes)

Threadless.com Stock Chart : How cool is this? Great concept. Creates a two-fold effect: 1. You know what is in stock on a wide variety of items in a single view 2. You know what's been selling, i.e. what is hot. This may drive up demand for or decrease demand for a particular design depending on the viewing audience. Innovators may go for designs less popular, so they have a unique shirt, while early adopters may go for designs more popular so that have the "cool" shirt (a little Seth Godin speak there).

Mark Lombardi Drawings : "Mark Lombardi (1951-2000) draws on the major political and financial scandals of the day to create large-scale linear diagrams that at first glance look like celestial maps; a closer reading reveals the intricate web of connections that lurk beneath current headlines."
