"Nearly every culture in human history has sought to encounter and honor the divine, the mysterious, the supernatural or the extraordinary in some way. This most often occurs at sacred sites - special places where the physical world seems to meet the spiritual world. Such sacred sites might include awe-inspiring natural places, sites made special by their connection to a god, a saint or a religious hero, places where miracles occurred, or buildings made sacred by their use for worship or ritual."

Mac Mame: Mameintosh
http://mameintosh.com/
"MAMEintosh is a resource for MAME enthusiasts looking for tips and tricks how to build their own cabinet. This site is based on my experiences of building a MAME cabinet.
Details about the first cabinet are available in the "MAMEintosh v1" section on the left. A second version of the cabinet is in the works which will be a cocktail style cabinet in a very neat and small form factor.
I'm working towards converting the machine(s) into kit form so you can easily build your own without having to go to complete efforts of building from scratch."

ZD Net: Flock: social browser gets significant update
http://blogs.zdnet.com/social/?p=236
"Flock has released a preview of a major update to its social web browser. As I noted in a recent post where I did a Q&A with Flock’s CEO, Shawn Hardwin, when Flock first launched, timed perfectly to coincide with a wave of web 2.0 hype, it seemed like a fresh and bold attempt to make a web browser that truly embraced the ’social web’. The browser wasn’t a passive application designed for reading web pages, but instead could ‘write’ to the web with support for emerging social web services through built-in a blog editor, drag ‘n’ drop access and publishing of photos on Flickr (and later Photobucket), and integration with social bookmarking service, Delicious. But then things went astray."

Smashing Magazine: Inspiration Package: 60+ Usable & Elegant Designs

"We all love beautiful, usable and impressive web designs. To achieve them, web developers need to focus on many aspects, but basically it all boils down to the question, how well the content is presented and how easily the information can be perceived. Harmonic color schemes are as important as solid and consistent typography. Precise visual structure and intuitive navigation are essential for both usability and accessibility. In fact, mostly it’s a keen attention to small details which gives web-sites a profound end enduring nature."

"I love business cards … little tokens of identity, with their everyday and ephemeral nature but also as a keepsake - a token of remembrance, this intrigues me, this enchants me ...
I admire the business or calling card as a medium for artistic expression and communication. Marveling at the typically tiny size but also the concept, story, meanings and design subtleties. Then I am absolutely captivated by the endless possibility for expressing an individual, a philosophy, an aesthetic or concept through the design with type, copy,materials and processes ..."
