What's this? A website about beer that is actually fun to visit. Gone are all the preloaders, intro videos, background music, club kids and other aberrations that usually represent the field of alcoholic beverage websites. To say that this is a breath of fresh air in this respect is an understatement.

I stumbled upon this out of the ordinary portfolio on Kitsune Noir a couple of days ago. I'm usually not a sucker for big splash images and intricate ways of entering a portfolio, but this one is just too damn beautiful. All in all, it's a great portfolio with some wonderful work in it. Nick de Jardine definitely has done a wonderful job. But I think the navigation may be too difficult to figure out for non-webdesigners. Am I wrong?

Another fantastic single page portfolio. What really makes this one stand out is the super bold navigation (= excellent typography), as well as the high quality of the works shown. Truly bad ass work by ex-TDR designer David Bailey.

The crazy bananas interface of the brand new thesixtyone interface works like a charm. Or, should I say, it works like a charm if you give it a few seconds (minutes?) of getting used to it. It's experimental, in-your-face and makes the bands and their music extra enthralling. My only gripe is that the nav seems somewhat choppy/laggy on my system. Maybe they just have a lot of traffic right now. Via @gblakeman.

Harry is a graphic design student in Sydney, Australia. The navigation really pops out on his blog/portfolio site. Via Smashing Magazine.

Bill Gates just launched his personal website The Gates Notes, where he'll be sharing what he's learning (in his own words). I think it's a well designed site, though the text is a bit small and I see references to Silverlight in the markup(!?). Via @BillGates.

Product Planner is a beautiful site. But what's more is that with Product Planner you can view and create user flows, viral loops, etc. This is actually a useful tool for us web designers. It's quite basic stuff, but it's great to see how user flows are used around the web. Truly inspirational and wrapped into a neat little package.

Despite being an extremely heavy load for a site of its kind, and being a webshop made in Flash, I'm loving certain aspects of this site. First of all, it's unusual navigation just works. I immediately understood how to find a garment and take a closer look at it. The close-ups work great, with the alpha transparency and all. Too bad it's such a heavy load and that it isn't done with jQuery. Flash feels much slower and less responsive. Despite my Flash-bashing, however, this is a great and outstanding webshop. Site by Syrup. Via Computerlove™.

Nokia's attempt at an eco-phone seems like a joke to me. They're bragging about low power chargers, no needless paint, eco-friendly materials, etc. In my humble opinion the main thing they could, and should, do to become a greener company, is to make their phones last a lot longer. Instead they're trying to make them last less than a year. Corporate social responsibility, my ass. Now when I got all that off my chest, I'd like to point out that I think the campaign site accompanying this new phone is sweet. Very well done and made me want to learn more about this phone.
