Website

Design.  Every day I surf the web reading articles and trying new services. As I proceed on my journey I see sites that have amazing design.  Sites ranging from crazy, cluttered and creative to bare bones simple.  Every time that I cross paths with great design it creates a burning desire.  I want so badly to have the knowledge to mold my site how I see fit.

I love the theme I have.  It does a great job and my eyes don’t bleed when I look at it, but it isn’t mine.  I didn’t create it and it doesn’t satisfy my wants.  The problem is that I lack the knowledge and creativity to build my own.

My personality drives me to learn new things and tackle new problems.  Some day I hope to learn enough to create something that will satisfy my wants.  As of right now I just have too much on my plate* and must settle with a simple blog post.

* If you don’t believe me, you can ask those who are: waiting for my photos, wanting to hang out, suggesting I work more, etc.

Twistori is doing something special today for Apple’s WWDC Keynote. They have launched a special page that replaces the original words (love, wish, hate, etc.) with WWDC related words like wwdc, apple, iphone, steve, and keynote.

Twistori has one of the best implementations of the Twitter API and it is neat to see them extend it for events like this.

Garfield Minus Garfield is this great comic in which Garfield has been completely removed. The result is this interesting look at the character Jon Arbuckle.

Removing Garfield creates a more amusing comic with a lonely single male who has a slew of mental disorders.  The site is updated regularly and adds a little humor to each day.

This weeks quick website recommendation is twistori. Twistori gathers data from Twitter that matches one of 6 words: love, hate, think, believe, feel, wish. Select one of the terms and twitter messages containing that term will scroll across the page.

This site does an excellent job of displaying twitter information. It is neat to look at the thoughts associated with the various words. Check out twistori and let me know what you think.
