Typorganism. Type as an organism. Predictable name, but amazing nonetheless. This is just so pretty and fun, I had to share it.

Another beautiful work in dynamic type is Peter Cho's Letterscapes. Or his type me, type me not. More at Peter's site.

Impressive stuff, very stylish. I particularly like the Good News Bad News section. Nice to see a Flash-y site with relatively friendly load time as well.

I enjoyed the ascii-o-matic. Impressive site.

Did anyone else notice the ascii-o-matic slowed down as the picture got scanned?

At first I thought it was supposed to be an effect, but if so why include the 'timer' thing below. I guess it's just shitty programming.

There's no need for it to be slower at the later stages, none at all.

That was all pretty good, though I somehow felt guilty that it felt so disposable. Kind of like, "Ooh, nice. Next... Hmm, impressive. Next... Done." And that was that.
