I take it all back. Prehensile Tales is directing people to the poll and doesn’t even (really) try to influence the voting. I am Jack’s Desperate Needy Apologetic Aspect.

Did you have a good journey into work this morning? If you live in London it is pretty likely that you didn’t. Talk all about it at tubehell.co.uk.

On a rather different note, I’m perturbed by the progress of e-mail “i’ll show you mine if you show me yours” discussion which started on Monday. It’s just got a little, well, corporate. Don’t know what I think about it.

Too much work to do. MUCH too much work to do. Co-worker at the Drone Factory is down with the flu, which leaves me toiling for two. On the plus side I bought myself a new VCR which is cool.

DAMN IT. DAMN IT. I FAILED THE ENTRANCE EXAM AT EvilPeople, INC. Note to self. Be More Evil.

A review of some of the interesting sites on barbelith’s non-corporate art site poll today. Once you have visited a couple of them, simply visit the poll above and express your preference!

The Grant Street Journal is a well designed personal project dripping with bittersweet insights and gripping content. Well worth a visit.

SUFFOCATE is a group of web enthusiasts and designers who are given a different project each month. This month’s concept is to communicate a message without using text.

Finally the end comes to an exhausting and debilitating weekend filled with tensions and parties. It would be hard to deny that I have had a cool time, but I feel completely washed out. And I have work to do before I can sleep.

I was so appalled by Zeldman’s article on the POV 100 Top Sites Awards that I thought something had to be done immediately.

So in the spirit of promoting creative and expressive sites all around the web you should immediately take part in the barbelith no-corporate creative poll.

There are over fifty creative and intelligent sites listed. All you have to do is check out a different three or four each day until the new year and vote on which one of them gives you most hope for the future of the web. This way I get to introduce you all to a whole huge world of wonder on the web.
