Strip Down!… Honour Web Design and Designers

naked-day-08.png“WordPress Naked Day” is coming up on April 9th, 2008. This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honours web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.

It’s something I might consider doing, but considering all the problems I have had the last week with “weblog breakdown” I’m petrified at the idea of tinkering with my theme and going scriptless… but if it’s a tribute to designers I might have to be brave!

Eco-Eyewear… Well, I guess it does make sense and it is something that I’m sure many environmentally conscious people could over-look! I mean, let’s be honest, all those plastic-rimmed glasses have to take their toll on the environment… That the issue being addressed by Amy Sacks with a new range of “renewable source” glasses to create stylish looking frames. Very insightful!

It could be a line from a Prince song. Motor Authority is reporting on:

The annual L’Automobile più Bella del Mondo (The World’s most Beautiful Automobile) awards may not be as widely recognized as some of the larger international motoring awards but the event is now in its 15th year and there’s been no shortage to the amazing metal covered in this year’s competition. The winners were announced at a ceremony in Milan late last week after being scrutinized by a panel of artists, architects, designers, art critics and historians.

Star of the awards was Lamborghini’s stunning Reventon supercar, the winner in the category for special production cars. Other winners included much more affordable models such as the Fiat 500 and Bravo hatchbacks, winning their respective city car and hatchback categories.
