Dustin Curtis goes out of his way to art direct every single post on dustincurtis.com. And he succeeds with style. This is simply a stunning site to visit. His designs emphasize the text so well that I'm awestruck. Go Dustin!

The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that will publish one podcast per day, for all 365 days of 2009. The podcast episodes are written, recorded and produced by people around the world. They definitely did something extra with the design of this one-year blog. It's very unusual for science related sites to look this good.

Tim van Damme was one of the hottest web designers of 2008, and a couple of weeks ago he launched his redesigned blog. With a color scheme to die for and a layout to kill for, it's impossible to deny the droolworthyness of this blog. Spot on, if you ask me.

Kontain is a slick blogging platform that is unfortunately made with Flash. That is the wrong way to do it. In fact it really, really pisses me off to see a site made this way. I can't right click an image and copy it into Photoshop, I can't ctrl-click, I can't even make site open in Firefox right now (even though I used to be able to do this)... To make a long angry rant short, I can sum this up in the following: Slick and beautiful aesthetics that are ruined by using the wrong technology. UPDATE: Kontain is currently being developed in standards based XHTML/CSS with a planned release in February/March.

Veerle Pieters proudly presents the redesigned blog/portfolio Duoh! she's created together with Geert Leyseele. It's looking awesomerer (that's a word, right?) than before with great details, fresh colors, wonderful illustrations, and so on and so forth. Truly a beauty to be inspired by.

This is my current favorite site on the entire world wide web. The text size, the whitespace ... the perfection. Oh what a beauty!

The personal blog of two Norwegian students currently attending Sweden's world renowned Hyper Island. This kind of stuff makes me proud of saying that I'm Norwegian. Truly one of a kind. The use of illustrations in the design works perfectly, and the colors are priceless. All I can say is AWESOM-O.

The tumblelog of Garrett Murray recently got a visual overhaul. You can tell that this guys likes his Macs just by looking at the visuals. I'm not saying that he's copying Apple's designs, most definitely not. I'm just saying that he's showing the same kind of attention to little graphics and typographic details. I'm also saying that I love how this design turned out. It's a simple tumblelog that comes out on top, and I'm diggin' it.

Mr. Doob just started working for Hi-ReS!, which in turn brought my attention to his blog/portfolio, which is quite rad. The blog is a beauty and the works on display show off some of the best Flash work I've ever seen. Especially being just one person. Impressive.

Bobby Solomon designed this beautifully simple blog for his friend Frank. Frank is a cook and writes about food. A great read and an amazing background pattern combined with perfect colors makes this one a favorite of the week. Via Kitsune Noir.
