When you’re searching for inspirational websites, check out siteInspire. This website allows you to browse through websites by style, theme and type, or if you’re feeling lucky, it can choose a random one for you. Great resource and easy browsing.

Stefan Sagmiester recently did a lecture at Ted.com on the topic of “Time Off”. He talks about a few of his sabbaticals and how they improved his work. Instead of giving you the link I have to youtube, I’ll give you this instead. Stefan Sagmiester. The website called quietube takes all of the noise around the video, and gets ride of it, leaving a clean, refreshing window. It also provides you with a shortened URL, which is great for those of you who use twitter.

If you’re curious about the whole multi-touch thing starting to catch fire at Apple and other places, check out this (beautifully laid out) article. I’m honestly just psyched that the page is using Futura Bold for headers—and not as a png.
