lately i've seen

bjork remix web. - Sunday, February 27, 2000
[freeware] one of the best sites i've ever seen. the interface is like candy, and i wanted to see more. the concept is noble - a creative enterprise, remixing bjork's songs - and successful - over 200 remixes. extra sideserve of quadruple bonus points for the interface.

lina's lunargirl page. - Saturday, February 26, 2000
[personal site] the drawings are sensational. are they drawings? i hope they're drawings because then they're like the computer drawings in Starship Troopers. but there's no content here. however, Lina did create bjork - the ultimate intimate site, which is a chocablock fab fan site. edit: the two available mp3s are good. jungle stylin.

dorkist.com - Friday, February 25, 2000
[personal site] another diary domain. with another popular trend; the advice column. in the olden days, a typical page would have: about me, friends, links, and photos of unicorns. now it has: diary, about me, links, advice column, and photos of me & friends. gahh.

maura.com - Friday, February 25, 2000
[personal site] all those words. i couldn't even be bothered reading them all. maura needs to discover the world of paragraphs and cellpadding. it's a fancy diary.

laurable.com - Friday, February 25, 2000
[personal site] aggh comic sans. there's nothing on this page. and a quote from buffy.

bettybowers.com - Monday, February 21, 2000
[supposed humour] "betty bowers, america's best christian" - religion-cynicism, packaged like a first-time-webpage. apparently they haven't learnt about the center tag yet. humour for teens, perhaps.

it's a no-link. - Saturday, February 19, 2000
[losers] a page of photos of dead people. morgues and gruesome accidents. only the idiots would choose to spend life-time looking at this page.

radiskull & devil doll. - Friday, February 18, 2000
[fun] crazyfun shockwave. latest episode three is super.

gooey.com - Thursday, February 17, 2000
[chat program] the page is dreadful. the program is a typical message program with the added feature of web location identification, so you can see who's viewing the same URLs as you, and talk to them. it isn't very user-friendly, and less sophisticated than ICQ. it'd be good if you're desperate to meet people, because you're assured of a similar interest.

minipops. - Thursday, February 17, 2000
[fun] who would have thought? a silly idea, but one that needs quite a dedicated, creative and clever brain. celebrities sized at 20 pixels. random-click and see if you can guess the celeb.

prehensile.com - Monday, February 7, 2000
[personal site] includes stories, photos, daily updates regarding the life of halcyon, the star of the show. it's another one of these i-want-to-be-a-net-celebrity pages. halcyon's been quite successful in that respect. it's funny though - talented people, be they musicians or actors or the like - spend their life trying to block out voyeurs. while these net-celebs invite every possibility of voyeurism in the hope that the distant crowds might take note of their incredible talents.

nerve.com - Friday, February 4, 2000
[e-zine] busy layout. this e-zine takes the line that you're dumb, uneducated, and don't-understand-art if you think that nerve is just soft porn. but it's just soft porn.

bjork.com - Friday, February 4, 2000
[artist's site] the look is plain, but the info's all there. the music videos are amazing.

the björk wallpaper depot. - Friday, February 4, 2000
[freeware] large selection of high quality, wonderful-looking wallpaper jpegs.

xeney.com - Friday, February 4, 2000
[personal site] there's a journal, bio, opinions, zzz.

kaliber10000 - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[e-zine] "It’s a design forum done by designers, and aimed primarily at other designers, or people in general who are fed up with the multitude of crap which can be found on the net." well, it's popular with the designers. the current exhibition is a screenshot collection of web designers' desktops. "It may not always be to your liking - but it’s always interesting." right.

secret-passage.com - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[personal site] opinions and anecdotes. meaningless to this stranger.

glassdog.com - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[personal site] i've been there a few times, and never wanted to click in further. the page repels the eyes. the colors and paragraph layout make it hard to read. some people are hardcore fans of glassdog, but i can't get past the index.

outdated military inventions. - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[personal page] he complains about everyone else building webpages and having nothing to say, and yet he also has very little to say. a dead site. at least the splash looks good.

blindwino.com - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[personal site] by mark driver. there are anecdotes, opinions, many "I"s, and some fictionalized letters to/from satan. he's a boxer. it's boring. his friends would be interested in it.

TB2 web works, ltd. - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[web design] simple but viewer-friendly interfaces. no annoying sounds. nothing too creative, but the styles are suitably different for each client.

Swelling to maculate giraffe. - Thursday, February 3, 2000
[personal diary] the pages were easy on the eye, and it all looked a little different to the usual, so i had hope. but nothing was said. un-bookmarked.
