So what do we think of the rest of the web?
The following links are what we think are the worthy of a visit.
Some not necessarily because they are related to development and design, but because they push the limitations of the web and creativity, or are novel in their ideas and content.

Scene.org |

15th Sept 2002 |
Scene.org provides a forum for the 'electronic art' (demo) scene to communicate and share their work online.
Demos, meaning small programs created specifically to show creative and technical ability, have been floating around for years.
Here you can find plenty of them ranging from graphics to music, though there are some dire efforts mixed with the gems.

the 5k |

Those familiar with the demo scene should find this site similar to the competitions held by the Assembly organisation.
The 5k organisation hold a competition each year for the best entries of literally anything created for the web, the only limitation being that all entries must not exceed 5k in size.
There are some pretty amazing examples of coding and creativity that are well worth a look.

An interesting site, which apart from promoting the services of the author, has an interesting collection of sites designed with minimalism in mind.
A good list of personal and commercial sites are listed and act as a great inspiration for anyone thinking of creating a minimalist site.
Within the Minimalist Web Project you can find one of cryofuse's commercially produced web sites, KL pharmacy.

A companion web site for an academic project based on diverse graphical user interfaces. Due to project deadlines this site is no longer being developed any further, but the article 'Colour in Perspective' is worth a look.
