SPEZIFY THE INSPIRED SEARCH
There are a multiple ways to search items and names visually on the web these days, but nothing that presents results from a large number of websites quite like Spezify. It looks like a multimedia art project making search a more intutive experience, thus giving you a better overview of the subject. Check it out, it’s clearly a very visually stimulating search engine.

thought this looked interesting and tried it myself… yep, it’s fun. kind of creates a personal collage of pictures and articles. I really like it visually but not sure if I would use this regularly as a search engine. most of the results seemed very old - only a few were from the past couple weeks.  I’ll give it a shot though and see how that goes.

Stop worrying about the fold. Don’t throw your best practices out the window, but stop cramming stuff above a certain pixel point. You’re not helping anyone. Open up your designs and give your users some visual breathing room. If your content is compelling enough your users will read it to the end.

Curiosity
I suspect that many entrepreneurs are curious people, and that most visionaries must be driven by that same underlying force that Da Vinci was so famous for.  So now I’m wondering… has curiousity driven you to do anything extraordinary in your life?
