Jon Hicks just redesigned his journal/blog as a fluid site. Motivated by Ethan Marcotte’s excellent article for A List Apart Responsive Web Design, Jon has definitely done an impressive job. Make sure to resize your browser to see how it folds, bends and adapts.

Quora has one of the most addictive web interfaces of all time. Yes, the concept and the idea behind Quora is great. But what's more fascinating to me is how the interface just sucks me in. The responsive buttons, the little details and the spectacular typography + readability, all makes this site one of my very favorite site designs. Breathtaking work by Rebekah Cox and the Quora team.

The official website of WonderWall/Masamichi Katayama with assistance from the one and only Yugo Nakamura. I'm amazed by the way this site manages to be both playful and interesting, while at the same time making the information readable and browsable. It's a lot of fun to use.

"Time tracking rethought." With a tagline like that, I expect a lot from a service like this. After trying it out for a little while (not nearly enough), my impression is that this is a solid service both functionality-wise and design-wise. I'm an avid user of Tick, but the delicious design of Freckle makes me wish that the Tick team gives the site a similar realignment in the future. Freckle has an exquisite color scheme, elegant interface interactivity details (js) and oozes of love. What a refreshing site. Even if you're not interested in a Time tracking app, you should sign up for a free account just to play with the interface.

Here's an impressive display of Flash skills. An interactive 3D site for an Australian creative firm. I think this is top notch for showing off what kind of work they love to do, but I had a hard time figuring out what kind of firm this really was. Make sure to check out the "people" section. It's a fun and nauseating interface, but lacks a bit in information design. All in all, this site is a great example of how to do something very differently, and they've picked the right tool for the job.

Hyperakt Design Group proudly to present the ACLU’s Ideological Exclusion website; meant to educate the public about the prohibition of entry made by the United States government to those deemed with ‘ideological’ concerns. The site features prominent and well-respected artists, writers and political figures, who have endured such exclusions by the government. They make use of local passports from around the world with great success. This is a powerful site and should be experienced by us all.

Injection is the personal interface design portfolio of web-designer Chan Karunamuni. I first came across this site this summer through the wonderful YouTube player redesign Chan did to show what little attention Google's YouTube designers pay to graphic details. This portfolio is loaded with gradients, gloss and delicious interfaces.
