#252Daniel Johnson's blog is hard to beat http://www.hexahedria.com/ Stephen Wittens' site is another that comes to mind https://acko.net/
Is the play button below the header on acko.net meant to do something? The WebGL header works fine for me, but that play button doesn't seem to do anything.

#253First the master: http://worrydream.com/ Surprised nobody's posted it yet. Other people are also posting their own, so here's mine: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/ Other job-hunt-specific efforts: http://www.dougkoellmer.com/portfolio/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/resume/ http://www.dougkoellmer.com/games/ Can't be totally sure but I believe they've gotten me a job or two.
http://worrydream.com was a horrible experience for me. Between the extremely slow scroll-hijacking and disabling of my vim-based scroll events it was a nightmare to try to navigate and I gave up without actually viewing any of the projects. Even using my colleagues hyper scroll wheel gave us a brief chuckle before quitting the page entirely.
Perhaps you should start a startup that lists sites friendly for vim-based scroll events.

Yes, yes, yes, it's always the same. Misrepresent well-cited arguments as rants, shoo people away with vague insinuations, and discredit the author from afar. All in the name of the "safety" and "diversity" of a narrow and pampered demographic. It's a tired old playbook. In the 3 years since I published it, the heads-on-pikes brigade hasn't slowed down, with Crockford being the latest target of a sanctioned witch hun…
Here's the deal: I disagree with this guy about a lot of things. I'm not going to address them one-by-one in a comment on a three year old piece. It's not my responsibility to write an essay about what precisely I think is wrong with a piece that I think demonstrates sexist attitudes every time I see one. There are a lot of them out there and they often repeat the same things. I used to spend a lot of time hunting do…
The very red flags you're raising against Wittens I would raise against you for your essay rant here. I can imagine your keyboard received quite the bashing as you pounded that out.

#256How about http://www.tittietime.com/ Yes its a tad salicious, but its an interesting technical project. I have a rather large email list that would be quite expensive to send to with MailChimp, Sendgrid or the like. I've been able to use Amazon SES to send large blasts, daily for next to nothing. Edit: This is NSFW
This thread has gone from "best project sites you've seen" to "click here for titties".

Everyone is going nuts about the presentation/scrolling/UI of worrydream, but they are missing out on the goldmine of what he's actually been working on: http://worrydream.com/#!/Showreel2012 Its absolutely insane someone could be that productive in 2 years. A lot of the ideas in that showreel are incredible. Yeah many of them probably don't work, but I saw dozens of new interactions that don't exist anywhere else. P…
Honestly, this guy is a genius. And people can't get over that their scroll wheel doesn't work on a website that hasn't been updated in half a decade.
In the context of a showcase website, first impressions matter. You want the work to be front and center. Not the fact that you can't design a usable website.

He didn't argue his point well by bringing up vim, but he does have a point. It loaded very slowly and isn't designed that well.
