I’ve got a new version of my sister’s site up and running — just in time for her show this Sunday. It now includes a lot more of her newer work, though i hope to get even more of her newer content up in the next few days. It still needs some text content, but people mostly want to see the pictures, so here it is.

In spine of the drab title Websites as Graphs this is a really nifty thing. It would make as much (or more) sense to call it Websites as Flowers, because as far as i can tell, it has no practical purpose other than to look pretty.1 Which is in no way a criticism.
It works simply: Enter a URI and the website unfolds like a blooming flower. That’s what makes the links worth going to— seeing the dots unfold & disentagle themselves like a living thing. As another organic touch, each unfolding is different. While the network between dots is the same, the network seems to disentangle itself different each time. If you care, the different colored dots represent different tags within a webpage. Violet represents images, for instance.
Transmogrify the website of your choice into a flower. Enjoy.

I recently ran accross this site, and i’m impressed. Most free font site that i’ve seen seem to grovel in the worst web-design of 5 years ago. Dafont.com is different. It has an attractive, clean interface. It sorts fonts into numerous categories. It credits the creator of the font. But most importantly it allows you to preview your own words in all the typefaces. What more is there to ask of a font website?
