Awesome, Resn’s new website Jag Black Book has hit the top of the Design Charts. Design Charts scans the traffic from its network of awards sites and uses this data to publish a top 40 of who’s getting the hits every Monday. Also note Resn’s Pacific Heights site at 13 too.

Very, very sexy time on the web. Blending old with new in a sophisticated delivery that gets the creative mouth salivating. Dogs wagging tails, subtle water colour textures, smoke billowing… its all there in this Japanese online eutopia. You don’t need to be able to read Japanese to enjoy the best of this artfully applied  3D environment.

First it was korean. Then french. And now, ohmy, Resn has been learning Japanese. Next time you are popping into downtown Osaka, pick up a copy of Japan’s ace web mag Web Designing Magazine for the trip home. You will be enlightened to the way of the Resn and pick up some great sushi tips too.

Resn Creative Director Steve Le Marquand has recently added french and german to his already extensive vocabulary. You can read his multi lingual article all about The Power of Online Portfolios in the latest Icons / Taschen publication Web Design:FlashFolios or have a look here. More nice pics of Resn work too. Nice. Pics.

A great interactive piece from Philadephia based agency Cipher Prime. The problem solving game involved using dynamic circles and shapes that interact with a particle beam. The goal is to light up all the bars of each cube by passing the particles through them. As each bar lights up the audio reactively increases in volume. Some fantastically difficult problems to solve here. The website usefully remembers what level you were last on using cookies. Nice work Cipher!

What astonishes is not just the accuracy of his dour predictions about the economy but the sheer arrogance of every other person appearing on these programs.”

If you happen upon a December issue of the UK’s number 1 web mag .net magazine, you might just catch a glimpse our own  Buda’s Special Surprise (page 57) cool huh?

For all those digital romantics out there here is one way to try and track down that ‘dream’ stranger who you never had enough courage to approach. A young man by the name of Patrick Moberg who worked for Adobe Illustrator and Vimeo in New York saw that girl of his dreams on the subway. He got crafty. A valient (or desperate) effort  to track her down bought www.nygirlofmydreams.com, placed a doodle of her and a doodle of himself on the site. US media had a song and dance. Dream girl’s friend found the website, recognised the doodle was her friend and Patrick got to meet his dream girl. Like all things digital it lasted about 2 months… nice try. He should have tried bug testing her on all browsers before launching a relationship with her.
