seems as if "page" is among the best print magazines reflecting the online world for the aesthetically demanding. and they do not forget about trades & handicraft (i mean, that's where they come from and that's again why their online skills are surprising): typebox – fonts and inspiration for graphic designers and typolovers.
because they knew that hans_heinz, who does not like to dance, will be linking the pixelshocking mobilesdisco today, german "page" magazine published some more urls of webtoys in their january issue:
well, everybody knows netbabyworld already, so i skip this one. bunko comes along with "digital duchamp" to give mona lisa a new hairdo ("dada-do"), the "excellerator" ("destroy the nasty losses by firing positive earnings"), the "bachelor machine" – whatever that is – and many more weird games (still discovering).
deco-vision is a good substitute for lsd trippin' (if you can find the enter link). very retro is the look of xperience.org but my loading (e)xperience was too bad to get into the main section... another well-known site (thanks to partykeller) is quickhoney, but their soap-machine deserves another special mention.
ok, what's next? i do not have a clue why i should rebuild soviet union, maybe i'll find out later... "up to 10 participants can create a picture out of some elements provided and watch the evolution in the 'history section'" – the description of vectorama sounds promising but the site itself crashed my browser. give it another trial?
the most annyoing thing – although i do not have a better idea – is to apply for membership in many multiple users games. that's why the sissyfight takes place without me, yet.
finally and last but not least, sulake closes the circle: besides the disco they also built hotel kultakala, a similar site which is (as the name suggests) in finnish and that's already a reason for the game being funny.
orf on futurezone interview with jakob nielsen (part i).
françoise & françois: the movie "gouttes d'eau sur pierres brûlantes" is a mise-en-scène of rainer werner fassbinder's play "tropfen auf heiße steine" directed by françois ozon. the most remarkable piece of music from the soundtrack (which is not available at the record stores as far as i know) is françoise hardy singing "träume" in german. madame hardy also has a very beautiful flash site.
play senso* with gabi's feet. a fat link in return from the schockwellenreiter.
for those who need a wonderful little present for wonderful (little) people: get hertha hurnaus picture booklet "ein mensch und eine fliege in einem raum" to see tex rubinowitz in laconic poses and read even more laconic japanese haiku. r. linklater...
or order the first micromusic / domizil release including some of the finest and funkiest microtracks of the last millennium.
hans_heinz aka sven who is currently blogging at euroranch (party tonight!) also makes beautiful websites: koselicka landschaftsplanerinnen meets my approval. especially the intro.
jakob nielsen: "99% of flash is bad. BAD! BAAAAAAAD!" (via robot wisdom).
just after their really wicked cassandra fax project the hardest-working men in web fizzness release their mashica nocamping game. nowash, nowork, nocamping – the geist that still denies (and that's alright).
the first austrian online demonstration:
