Blogging can be an escape from the humdrum of working, and that is exactly what this post is! Follow me on a wild romp through the fields of the web, hand holding and skipping to my lou optional.

Disclaimer: This is a nonsensical post of random links, time wasters, random news, updates, and really really important stuff, it is meant to be funny and light hearted. Also the surgeon general warns this post is hazardous to your health.

On with the adventure!

First up in this escape to fun and excitement: Rubiqube just re-designed, with eye scorching whiteness. Seriously I don’t know what white that is but it is much brighter than #FFF! He’s also posting again, which is good, cause I like his blog.

Need a slick lightbox that can display all sorts of things? Do you like Facebook(the new myspace)? Then Facebox is for you! Found it via Headscape which is also worth taking a look at(Paul Boag, need I say more?).

Also from Paul Boag, I found this great article on Hijax, think of it as progressive enhancement with AJAX, not oooh look what I can do!! I’m l33t.

News

Flying through cyber-space we’ve hit some turbulence in the fun zone! Checkmate is nearing 200 downloads, and has had three updates!

A new design is coming for CurtisHenson.com. I’m just not feeling the look now and I need to re-focus. So a new look is coming, but don’t expect major changes!

Wondering how to best use jQuery in your blog? Want some cool tips to make your pages more interactive? Coming soon are some tutorials about the magical world of javascript!

Back to the mindless elope around the inter tubes

These designs by Luigi Colani are out of this world, or out of this time, not sure which. But one thing is for sure, you NEED to see these.

Videos, they are the future of the web. With Leo going live(a huge reason for the lack of posts) and people uploading stuff like…well its called MUTO.

The End

I hope you enjoyed the wet slide through the inter tubes, next time I’ll post something useful and constructive!
