Inspire it forward
A while back, I had stumbled upon Good Fucking Design Advice which, well, gave good fucking design advice and then some. I happened to visit the site again to download another wallpaper and I noticed this small line at the bottom after the Copyright stuff which said, “Inspired by this and this.” Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it didn’t bother me. I went ahead and clicked on ‘this’. And the other ‘this’ too. The first one led me to a website called ‘What The Fuck Is My Social Media Strategy‘, made by two other guys which takes a dig at corporate jargon about Social Media Strategy (duh?). I enjoyed the dig and I noticed something at the bottom. Guess what? A line that says, “Inspired by this.” I clicked on that too. I mean ‘this’. Meanwhile, the second this from the first website called for my attention. I checked it. I landed up on ‘What The Fuck Should I Make For Dinner‘. This site shouts out random dinner suggestions which you can keep on rejecting if you like (don’t try it with your wife, though). Remember the first ‘this’ on the second website. Yes! That one led me to this same dinner website. I couldn’t help it. I checked the bottom of the site. There was a ‘this’. But it was not a clue. It was a part of a sentence that said, “This site was fucking made by Zach”. “To hell with the cat”, I said and clicked on Zach and it led me to a website of Zach Golden, a copywriter in NYC, who, by the way, didn’t have ‘Fucking’ anywhere on the site. So, all in all, a nice fucking search from one fucking interesting website led me to another and then another and then yet another one which further led me to one fucking cool guy who fucking started it all. Fucking copying, you might say. Well, I think it is fucking inspiring. Maybe, I will start a fucking website. Be sure to check the bottom that will say, “Inspired by this, this and this. Or maybe that. Whatever. If you are still fucking reading this, don’t! Go and surf these fucking awesome sites instead. Thank you fucking Zach for starting it all.

To Do
To do or not to do will never be the question. A to-do list should, well, be only a to-do list. TeuxDeux does just that. A simple view of my week with items to fill and nothing more. Since they know the human tendency to procrastinate, they have a ‘Someday’ field for backburner items. Clever. It’s available on the browser as well as the phone. We love it. Thank you, SwissMiss and FictiveKin for creating it.

Readability
Sit back and read comfortably from your screen. This chair sits comfortably in the top right corner of our web browser and makes our life so much better. We love the thought of a deep-red, leather, reading chair as the symbol for the plugin. Smart. Thank you, guys at Arc90 for giving birth to this idea in your lab.

How does a browser work? A beginner’s guide
“20 Things I Learned about Browsers and the Web” was an illustrated book from 2010-11 on things you always wanted to know about the web but were afraid to ask. Illustrated by Christoph Niemann, written by the Google Chrome team, and built in HTML5, this charming guidebook is a handy read about how the evolution of browsers and the web changed the way we work and play online. It’s a great example of how to make “technical” stuff interesting.

Build a full website on Twitter
Kamchatk, an Argentinian digital agency, decided to make their website on Twitter. From a time when Twitter used to be really cool. Watch this demo video they made. At times, it’s a good thing the Internet never forgets.
