Dear darling, I love what you've done with your website

How lovely is to come across a website that is beautifully designed *and* has great things on it.

365 Days is such a thing. Perhaps you all know about it already. Every day, a MP3 is posted of a super-obscure novelty or miscellany record and a loving description of it and how the 'curator' came to know it.

I found it via the equally pretty treasure trove scrubbles.net.

Can you recommend anything as good to me?

I saw that on memepool.

http://wizardisHUNGRY.com/ is an excellent example of site design that uses embeded media, javascript and CSS gracefully.

Scrubbles is one of my daily reads. Other sites I love are Sharpeworld and GMTPlus9

Yo, I have this record: http://www.otisfodder.com/365days/archive/151.html

Plugging yr own site are you Jon! Nevertheless thanks for the 365 Days link, I had been driven absolutely crazy by a web design project that I just couldn't get to look right, and I realized from seeing that site that - duh! - white center div + interesting backdrop = simple, classy design solution. Yay.

Holy Christ, "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" is the funniest thing I've heard all year. I have nothing to recommend that can even compare (I'm still recovering from the Almighty Loss of Eight Years Of Bookmarks that happened a month or two ago), but when I do, I'll remember this thread.

Hang on, "the food on our table is not Jesus" from "Religion for the Retarded" might be a close second. Nah, Stairway to Gilligan's is still funnier.

the 'all my life for sale' site and related book was good (and in a similar vein to both the above and that site about found things that was also posted a while ago).
