Mental Notes: January 2004

SYDNEY–Jolly new year what! Can’t go into the finer details right now, I have to feign employment at this juncture. In the meantime check the FBI Weekend Overhang tracklists from last weekend. Streaming MP3s online very soon, or even now maybe :) Big ups to the posse. Have a very kinderpool 2004.


A couple of shifts from your dear reservist – this time gracing the daylight hours on Weekend Overhang. Note that after consulting my people, the name of The Bank Holidays’ track that I debuted is The Greatest Game.

Also, my homey Em asked me for a few sites today that rock my world, in a sort-of vague “what do you reakon are good-looking web sites” for some research piece she’s doing for work. The following is how I responded.

NEWSTODAY

http://www.newstoday.com/

I have no idea what these guys are on about, but for perfect use of information in one easily viewable screen – for most web designers this is paramount as you don’t have to scroll to get the story – this site is amazing. It’s also blindingly fast and works on all platforms (Mac, PC, all browsers) due to the simple language it uses. No scrolling!!!

BRITISH GLAMOUR MAGAZINE

http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/default.asp

BBC ENTERTAINMENT

http://www.bbc.co.uk/entertainment/

Two beautifully concise entertainment home pages and sites that have sweet non-traditional colours and very easy to find info. Strangely enough – and this is an inside scoop – there’s a lot of these two sites in a certain site I’m currently in the process of launching.

IPOD LOUNGE

http://www.ipodlounge.com/

Simple colours, great navigation, and non-stop bulletin boards. This is the perfect example of a site run by its readers. And the search actually works!

TIME.COM (ASIA AND EUROPE EDITIONS)

http://www.time.com/time/asia

Yeah, I know I’m bragging because I helped build it, but the TIME websites are easily the best newsmagazine websites. Check out any photoessay or special for unbeatable navigation and the science of getting right to the point using the web

SOUNDS LIKE TECHNO

http://www2.abc.net.au/arts/soundsliketechno/swf/default.asp

The best use of Flash ever, and it actually taught me something. It’s what Flash was supposed to be used for – fast-loading animation and sound – and not the sloppy, broken and useless use of this technology by most people.

Later.
