Wet Ink
Very cool commercial for Central Center TV (CCTV). Totally loving the ink-in-water effects. Vimeo Link
CentSports to Dollars
My new favorite website! Here’s how it works: the site gives you a free 10 cents to bet with. As soon as you make $20 or more, you can cash out for real money. It’s that simple. Now, I’m not much a gambler, but CentSports has got me hooked. And the best part is you have nothing to lose because you’re never playing with your own money. It’s totally free! If you like sports at all, you should check it out.
FootyTube
Finally, a website where you can watch quality soccer videos and game recaps. I love the extensive 10-20 minute videos that show all the highlights and the action leading up to the goals, not just the goals themselves. It’s perfect for checking out the games we don’t have access to here in the States. Also, be sure to check out FootyTube 2.0 in beta, which looks a lot better than the current design. My only complaint would be the name. I just can’t stand it when people refer to soccer/football as “footy.”
Tiny Art Director
A wonderful blog in which artist Bill Zeman is commissioned works by his very cute, yet very demanding art director. The twist? Bill’s art director is actually his 3 year old daughter, Rosie, who gives her over-worked artist little room for error. Aside from the hilarious project notes and conversations, Tiny Art Director gives a beautifully illustrated and unique look into the mind of an imaginative toddler.
Alex-ellent Design
Self-proclaimed web design superstar, Alex Buga has an awesome new website. A beautiful design featuring some of the latest web tricks and trends.
Loading
Never before have I wished for load times to be longer. Put together by Big Spaceship, Pretty Loaded is a collection of some of the coolest flash preloaders from around the web. If you have a short attention span and an appreciation for good flash design, check it out. I could watch these things for hours (If there were more of them).
The Jeopardy Archive
I’m not the smartest guy in the world (really), but I sure love trivia. And I’ve recently stumbled upon the J! Archive. This is a fan-created archive of every Jeopardy game, player, catagory, clue, answer, and just about everything else a Jeopardy fan could want. It dates all the way back to the very first unaired pilot with Alex Trebek in 1983. They even have MP3s, photos and videos for some of the video daily doubles!
Experience M
BMW has just installed the ultimate online M experience. And in typical M fashion, it is nothing short of spectacular. Check out the history, heritage, and technology that make the BMW M (the M3 to be specific) one of the greatest cars ever made.
