Monoface

www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html

Im just throwing this website up for shits. Its interesting to see how people could look if their faces were composed of different attributes from multiple faces. The photoshop work done on this site is also pretty impressive. I only wish they showed what all the people looked like before they collaged their faces... but I guess you could always try and piece them together yourself...

Liveplasma

www.liveplasma.com/

While we're on the "if you like that then you might like this" genre, Liveplasma is an awesome website for finding new music. You give the site an artist or group name and it creates a web of similar artists and groups. This website is a bit more interactive than Pandora Radio but it does not play the music for you like Pandora does. But what is nice about Liveplasma is that you can also do the same kind of search for movies, directors, or actors that you like. Also I just like the way it creates a web of artists that are then grouped and located according to how they relate to the central artist.

Pandora Radio

www.pandora.com

Tired of listening to the same handful of musical artists and groups all the time. Trying to find that new sound for your iPod orgy? Pandora Radio finds it for you. Unlike other online radios where the music you hear is generally based on genre, you create your own stations for yourself by typing in the name of a band or artist you like and Pandora finds bands and artists with a similar style for your ears to snack on.

TV LInks

www.tv-links.co.uk

www.videolemon.com

These two websites are the best source for entertainment on the internet. Now that YouTube has been sold to Google they've pretty much eliminated any full feature copyrighted material. TVlinks.com has the best quality and largest collection of streaming movies and TV shows on the internet. The videos are well organized and you can usually find whatever you are looking for. But if you cant, go to VideoLemon.com and search for what your looking for and it compiles search results from multiple streaming video sites.

Orisinal Games

www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

This is very simply a game website. However, what makes this website different than other game websites is its simple minimalist design and layout. Most game sites are completely cluttered with links and advertisements and navigation can give the visitor a headache. This one keeps it real without all the additives.

Falling Sand Game

http://fallingsandgame.com/sand/sand.html

This is less of a website and more of a game but I still found it worthy enough for this blog. This game basically has a bunch of different compounds that the player can mix together and different reactions may take place. It is extremely simple but fun.

Caveman's Crib

www.cavemanscrib.com

This website is sort of an advertisement for geico, however, geico's name only appears three or four times in the entire site. But it is part of the "So easy a caveman can do it" advertising campaign, so I guess you could say it is kind of an advertisement for an advertising campaign... I dunno. Regardless the navigation of this website is extremely immersing and interactive. The viewer can actually visualize themselves in a three dimensional space rather than a the typical two dimensional space that most websites adhere themselves to.

A is for Apple

www.aisforapple.net

A is for Apple is a web art project by David Clark (whoever that is) that is very different visually and navigation-wise. Basically the website is a collection of interactive flash pages that all share a single common ground... the apple. The visual design is chaotic and so is the navigation. But the chaos and randomness is what sets this site apart from the humdrum of the ordinary.

Puzzle Road

http://puzzleroad.apoka.com/PuzzleRoad.html

Puzzle Road is more than just an image gallery. Rather than most portfolio style websites, Puzzle Road engages the visitor by making them piece together the images in order to view them in full, and then allowing the the visitor to interact with the image itself. Also there is a a little challenge to spice it up for those who like fun and games.

Color of My Sound




www.colorofmysound.com

This website explores ideas of synesthesia by simultaneously playing a song and having the listener choose which color most adequately describes the song. After picking the color it shows the listener the most popular color choices for that particular song.
