Bret Victor's http://worrydream.com . While the design is interesting, the content is killer.
are you kidding me? the page doesn't even scroll using the mousewheel or amy possible key (arrows, space, pageupqdown). i have to use the tiny scrollbar on the right. I'm using chrome on win 7. completely unusable.

This is clearly by design, try clicking on something (and then scrolling!) to navigate the site like intended.
say i don't want to click on whatever is above the fold... that's it, i'm out of the site.
even after i click, the only way to navigate is using the arrows on the sides
also, i think that creating a personal website is such a common use case that as a side project, i'm creating a saas webapp for creating portflio sites. checkout http://prtfl.io in coming weeks.

I'm in the middle of redesigning my portfolio page. This is where I am so far: http://claudesutterlin.com it's nothing great but if you're interested in building off of it I'll share the code.

Yeah, and it is clearly a fucking idiotic design. Breaking a basic navigation feature that works as intended in every other application and web page for the sake of "design" is not a good thing.

I agree it's bad design IF it were a consumer/business site. But remember, this is a personal site. Anything goes, and I think he knows better than to do this on a commercial site.
It makes no sense and there is no excuse for it.

What on earth does a "personal site" have anything to do with a design being good? It's just as broken on a personal site as it is on a business site. It breaks an established, 20 year old user interface expectation and greatly hinders the usability of the page. It makes no sense and there is no excuse for it.

because a personal site is a sandbox where you can experiment. It doesn't have to fit a mold. Same thing with an artist who is doing their own thing vs an artist who is paid to create a design for a company. You wouldn't tell the artist to paint a certain way because that's the way it's done commercially. Same thing here.
