Interesting Sites from FOWD

Just got back from the FOWD 07 Conference in New York City. It was great to be able to be around so many people smarter and more creative than myself, though unfortunately not as inspirational or educational as I'd hoped. Being my first conference like this, maybe my expectations were just too high?

Anywhoo, I thought I'd post about some very interesting sites that I ran across indirectly because of the conference, and I'll post them below:

1. Blueprint CSS | A fascinating and brilliant solution to every web designer's frustrations since jumping from tables to CSS. Taking a layout hint from print design, this helps web designers organize their content on a page in a visually pleasing, logical, and efficient manner.

3. 37Signals | I love these guys, and this just increases the love. Even though I do have a degree in what I do, it's complete bull**** to assume that I know what I know because of it. I taught myself and primarily online for free!!


4. OpenDNS | Wicked fascinating.
