Dana International is an Israeli pop singer, famous transsexual and winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1998.

There is a page about her on wikipedia, boring profiles on facebook and myspace, a youtube channel, an official site in flash (with skip intro link) under the .co.il TLD. And a gorgeous site at the WestHollywood neighborhood made by her fan Juri Said.

Beside other beautiful features the site contains an outstanding navigation of 20 gems.

Fans’ web pages are always better than official ones. No surprise. Juri Said has found the right words to explain why:

“Am I a fan? Surely I enjoy Dana’s music and performance and certainly will make sure that any new CDs will promptly find their way to my collection, however that in itself is not sufficient reason for opening a homepage. […] Well than what is left, is the question whether I am shouting I love you all over the networks out of some unrealistic expectation to have the message received and acknowledged. […] I consider it perfectly ligit to use the Internet as medium on which to express once true feelings.”

Hey there! Well, obviously I am terribly
new to the art of background creation, but I
thought “What the heck?! Somebody, somewhere
might find something to use!”
If you find something you like, by all means
TAKE IT!!!
I won’t require a link back, but would be
interested if you e-mail me with the URL that
you use them on because I would LOVE
to see them in their new home!!

I hope you found someting useful. Hopefully, I will be able to create some more. Theoretically, my next batch should be better.(Practice, you know!)

Jennie Logsdon Martin aka “Midifingers” is a classical and jazz pianist, playing shows all over the United States. And more than ten years before Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails had the idea to release their music “for free” online, she did it … only in MIDI format. That is of course much better than MP3 or AAC, because you can look inside the files and see all the notes. True open source music! The business model, according to Chris Anderson, would be “freemium” …

… because in addition to free music she offered paid custom MIDI compositions for web pages. The commercial site still exists: Midifingers Midi and Web Design. Check out her smooth Easy Listerning styles! However it bears the note that she’s not into this anymore.

One of her other passions is fishing. She created the web site ifish.net that still seems very successful today. And there is her youtube channel, suggesting that she lives a mostly outdoor live in Oregon right now.

She could have been a MIDI Queen, but was probably ahead of her time. Anyway, having a blast online.

The account “dilipg003” seems to serve as a data dump for another account … it just contains mysterious photos and txt files with lists of dates.
