Inspirational resources

Inspirational resources I'm not a designer. I just simply love good design. The web is not an endless, abstract space that consists of unique pages. You will find the same elements, over and over again: forms, horizontal menus, vertical menus, lightboxes, etc. These standard elements, needs to be designed, and this is where patterns will emerge. Here are some good sites that collects these patterns:

Wikipedia excerpt over DNS service

One of 2009's coolest web mashup is David Leadbeate's Wikipedia DNS service. What it does is very simple: it returns an excerpt from a Wikipedia article in a TXT DNS record.

- What? Dynamic contents in a DNS text record? From Wikipedia?
- Yes!

For example, all you need is love PHP.

  // dns_get_record is a built in PHP function
  $knowledge = dns_get_record( 'trentemoller.wp.dg.cx' );
  var_dump( $knowledge );
See it on a test page:

This service is very sympathetic, because you don't need to install any piece of code and the world's knowledge is just a query away.

See the creator's page here: https://dgl.cx/wikipedia-dns
And check out his presentation: https://dgl.cx/2008/11/wpdns-pres/

Structure Synth experiments

Structure Synth experiments Besides Context free, my other favorite toy is Structure Synth. It also uses a very similar code grammar like Contect free, but you are able to manipulate things on the Z axis.

Here are some of my first experimental images that I magaged to render.
