I clicked on the Visual Arts award winners and was kind of apalled. Color Blender? Swivel.com with graphs? The Broth sounded more like what I had in mind for arts oriented web. There was some art that looked a bit serious, but only a bit. Then there's some (ok, a lot) that looks like grade school kids submitted it. Grade school art is ok,(and even fun) if you're expecting grade school art and I guess I just expected higher quality from something billed as an award winner. I see better artwork on commercial websites. Is it just the difficulty of many trying to create together? I guess public art is just a messy business.
I also looked at two other award winners, Backpack and Be Green. Backpack is an info and to do list organizer that I'll be visiting later to see what I can use there. Be Green sucked me in, I was entering my information to see how my carbon footprint stacked up. I'm feeling a bit green because I drive an old Honda and haven't had any airline travel this year, giving me below the average for my car/fuel use. I have to sit down with my electric bill though, I'm sure we're better than average with our energy useage there too. It was fun to do and made you think.
