One page to rule them all, Dragan mentioned some days ago, brought me to a magical tribute to the state Michigan – I am Michigan. It is one of Richard’s Creations. There is not much known about the author. Only that his full name is Richard Nichols and that he’d appreciate if the global community would donate some dollars that could cover his web hosting costs – otherwise the site will be taken down by July 2011.
This would be a shame. Richard’s Creations is an ultimate fandom place. Whatever or whomever Richard likes or admires gets immortalized in HTML. His monuments made of nested tables, background images and WAV sounds are funny, naive, touching. But not only. I am Michigan is a proper resource for useful links and info about Michigan.
Below I allow to myself to reproduce Richard’s animated GIF homage to the Jackson Cascades.
Today’s web designers are raving about WOFF fonts, text shadows, enhanced control over spacing and whatever new CSS feature just came along. Yet most are still not able to produce something as elegant and authentic as bart and kon did.

German car salesman Klaus Beier updated his online offers by publishing photos of the descriptions sticked in the cars’ windows:
The most interesting is the list of his services, photographed from the shop’s building wall:

Photos made with digital consumer cameras almost 10 years ago have a quite special quality. One can see their age, not from counting JPEG artifacts, but from the pale colors, prism effects around edges of objects, small pixel size, and most of all, the absence of people posing next to their achievements.
Photos used to exist in the context of a home page. There was not really a need to put yourself on a photo if you claimed that this was a car you renovated. It was clear, why else would you spend the server hosting space with a huge image file? Today, when photos are copied around image hosting services and almost as easily copypasted as text, you will never go down in history as the best car renovator ever if you are not present on the photo.
