A nice looking blog about iPhone/iPod touch gaming. Visit site »
NonSociety is “your window into [the] crazy lives” of a handful of women — notably, Julia Allison. Basically, it’s a few tumblelogs of hot chicks. More importantly (to me, anyway), the “lifecasts” have a clever and good-looking horizontal-scrolling design. I dig it. Via Rex.
Just curious: anyone know if they’re using Tumblr to power the thing? Visit site »
Cool new aptly-named blog: it tells you what stuff chicks want. Good for chicks who want to know what they should want, and men that have to buy chicks stuff they do want. Visit site »
The jackass (or asses) that run this site have pirated my chapter of Web Standards Creatvitiy, a book I co-authored for Friends of ED, and published it in their blog as their very own. From what I can tell, their entire blog is made up of articles they didn’t write. What a bunch of assholes. Visit site »
Matt, a great web designer and friend in Seattle, has finally launched his blog. After I met this guy at a Refresh Seattle shortly after he moved to town, we exchanged several e-mails that got into some rants and saves about the industry. I told him, “dude, you’ve gotta get a blog.” And he finally has. Trust me, you want to subscribe to this one. Plus, it’s got a nice design. Visit site »
Adam has redesigned his personal site, and it’s gorgeous. Well done! Visit site »
Newspaper design legend Mario Garcia now has a blog. Nice. Visit site »
Friend of Blue Flavor, Kenny Meyers, has a blog. Its first post is titled, “Peaxal.com is up. Fuck you.” It’s funny. Kenny’s a smart and witty young dude who’s also a talented writer — this is a blog to watch. Visit site »
Maura is the latest Django geek to go all tumblelog-style with her latest blog design. It looks great! Check it out. Visit site »
Has anyone else noticed that the official Django blog seems to be dead? No new posts in almost three months. Yikes. That’s not a good look. Visit site »
My good friend Sarah Harrison (aka sourjayne) has started a blog about her UX research and thoughts. Good stuff so far. Check it out! Visit site »
My good friend Sara Flemming (dotsara on flickr) now has a blog, and she’s kicked it off with a great post about renting camera lenses, something she’s done several times and is quite fond of. Sara is one of the awesomest photographers I know, a solid front-end web developer, a good writer, and an all-around cool chick — so you can be sure this’ll be a blog worth subscribing too (especially if you’re into photography or CSS nerdery).

Astonishingly brilliant idea for a blog. Just perfect. Visit site »
My good friend and Blue Flavor co-worker Tom Watson launched a new personal site at a new URL. He’s done an awesome job of integrating all of his online activities (Flickr, Delicious, Upcoming, etc.) in one place, and put a beautiful, clean, elegant design on top of it. His “stream” is my favorite part. Love those letter overlays. Oh — and it’s Django-powered. :) Visit site »
Derek Powazek’s newish blog abuot magazines. Looks good so far. Visit site »
Jackson’s new personal site is Django-powered and looks great. Well-done, my friend! Visit site »
Kevin Cornell and Matthew Sutter have put together one of the most entertaining blogs in a long, long time. The premise is simple: one illustrator draws up a superhero who’s special power enables them to vanquish the previous hero. Brilliant, funny, and well-designed. Love it. Visit site »
Heh. Funny. The quotes used for “emphasis” is one of my biggest pet peeves. And not to pick on anyone in particular, but I do have a certain cousin who is fond of doing “this”. :) Visit site »
My cousin and Newsvine writer extraordinaire has finally launched his own personal website. Brian is a classicly-trained graphic designer, but to this point, hasn’t done much web design. He put the site together with Apple’s iWeb, and I must say I’m impressed with what he was able to do. Of course, the code is crap, but Apple has made it relatively easy for someone like Brian to get his stuff out there — and that’s awesome. Visit site »
Don’t call it a comeback. He’s been here for years. Visit site »
Awesome. Visit site »
Young Ludwig has put together a nice newspaper-influenced personal site design. Well done, my friend! :) Visit site »
Antonio Rodriguez, founder and CEO of Django-powered Tabblo.com (now part of HP), has moved his personal site over to Django and has a nice write up about switching to it from Typo.
The thing about Typo was that it was hard to make any changes to it without having some of that RoR “magic” explode in my face. With the Django there is no magic— just clean, explicit, and simple design.
Indeed.
Continuing the theme of celebrities that have regular-old blogs, Mindy (Kelly from The Office) writes simply about stuff she likes. Love it. Visit site »
Alyssa Milano runs a blog about the L.A. Dodgers. It’s a totally typical crazed sports fan blog, only Alyssa is the crazed sports fan. How freaking cool is that? I love the Internet. Visit site »
Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain redesigns his tiny agency’s site, and it’s freaking great. Beautiful grid work (looks like a 12-unit grid to me, but I haven’t done the math), awesome colors, great typography, elegant navigation, and a sweet portfolio of work. Great job, Jesse. Visit site »
I really like what Patrick is doing with his latest redesign. Well-done! Visit site »

Matt Robin, a really great guy I met in London, has just launched the new version of his site. Lookin’ good, Matt! :) Visit site »
Ryan Berg, local Lawrence web geek and all around good guy, launches yet another beautiful Django-powered blog into the wild. It’s really nicely done!
More and more web designers and developers are finding Django a great way to publish their personal content, it seems. And I believe the trend will continue. I have it on good word that one web designer with a very popular blog may be close to relaunching on a handmade Django CMS. All your blogs are belong to Django!
Check out Ryan’s — looks great! Visit site »
