The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Tuesday, June 17, 2008

Submitter comments: Guy Kawasaki just twittered this site — it’s a great example of Mystery Meat Navigation. Serious eye candy, but how I hate it. Beautiful images of amazing work and they hide them in tiny thumbnails in little scrolling areas on the page. Sheesh.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Sigh. Guy Kawasaki is a very successful person who is an idiot when it comes to knowing what a web site should look like. I’m sure the cakes are fantastic, but the site sucks worse than my sophomore year in college’s grades. (It was 1968 and that was NOT the year to have a negative grade point average).

I’m working on an article where Flash is one of the featured topics. For the moment, here’s probably the best take on Flash — Hugh Macleod’s excellent cartoon about people who use Flash (and people like Kawasaki who like Flash)NSFW.
