gloege—fractalmind.org

gloege's (User #10472) minimal site is nothing but a pretty cool picture. The page title is nice, though: "Life is a journey. Fuck the destination." I don't particularly agree with the sentiment, except in the sly sense that death is the destination, but I like the boldness of that as a page title.

letourneau—jlet.org

letourneau's (User #1208) website is simple and well-designed. It amounts to three lists, the predominant two are feeds from his Flickr and delicious accounts, with brief commentary on each entry. The third is a link to his Amazon wishlist. It all provides what I don't doubt is a deceptively complete picture of his interests and concerns.

aaron—Don't Mention The War!

aaron's (User #975) site. Promising title, three entries (from 2003) with no content. Too bad.

curtis-barrett—Insubordination.com

curtis-barrett (User #2242), member since November 2000 but with no comments or posts on the site, has a website that's a picture of a cat contemplating havoc upon a miniature Christmas tree. The picture is blurry, but the colors are outstanding.

Creosote—Betwixnet

Creosote's (User #18532) very old school personal site for he and his wife. Just a bit of text on a nice background, an attempt to convince us all that betwixnet is the middle English translation of Internet, and a few links to family professional websites.

tastybrains—Tastybrains

tastybrains's (User #18077) site is basically just an aggregator of links to her other presences on the web, including her myspace and livejournal, etc. The highlight is the link to the McGriddle Fan Fic community on livejournal. That's right, fan fiction for a breakfast (?) sandwich. The internet is a strange and wonderful place.

Her picture of the brain eating young woman is also pretty great, especially the stains around her mouth.

Josh Zhixel—Yes Ma'am

I really like sites like this, minimalist (verging on non-existent) with no information at all. Josh Zhixel's (User #22074) site, Yes Ma'am, is simply three great repeated photos of Dusty Springfield in a farm shirt. It's a compelling picture. That's it. Classier than an 'Under Construction' banner.

Here's his username explanation: "I needed an IRC nick in 1996, so I wound up hitting random letters on the keyboard and adding some vowels to it. I later adopted it as a surname." Does he mean he actually changed his name?
