The past couple days I have came across a few sites that have inspired me to get back on track and make something cool again. The last cool thing I made on my own was smalpster.com. It was a small social networking site built entirely in flash/php. Flash was the front end and php/mySql were the data drivers.

That project has ended a while back, and I no longer have a link to the project. I still have all the code somewhere, but will probably never look at it again. I look towards the future! I “completed” that project in summer of 2004. So social networks were pretty new, and just brewing then. I missed the facebook boat by only a few months. First month I had about 50 registered/active users. When flash wasn’t up to par with what I needed it to do, the project died.

Moving on, the site that has been driving me in my career has always been. 2advanced.com. They have always come out with the best looking, most advanced sites. I’ve always loved their style. Recently my co-worker sent me her brothers company’s page. barbariangroup.com. They have come up with a lot of cool sites that made its way around the internet a few times. Check out their portfolio, I am sure you have heard of the Subservient Chicken. My co-workers brother, is the co-founder of the company, and was the one that made the Subservient Chicken. (to my Needham peeps, He’s from need’s)

The other two sites I saw made me want to work on my other site moneyanswertree.com. I haven’t had much time to improve it or change the looks of the site, but it needs work. The two sites are:
filife.com, and yankodesign.com. filife.com is a site similar to moneyanswertree, and is doing a good job. The site looks very nice and is organized well. yankodesign is another cool site that looks pretty. I wish I could do that.

Nothing much to say, just Leon Powe is doing it again this season. 11 pts off the bench last night, in 18 min of play.

Sam Cassell has taken over as the new Scal on the team. Blazer and all.
