Grungry Retro iPhone Wallpapers
…of the videogame variety. Ah, Battletoads. You were my insurmountable videogame mountain. These are pretty cool.
How to Create Your Own WordPress Widgets
WidgetBuilder is a plugin that makes for much better widget management in WordPress. Featured images, WYSIWYG editor, etc. Worth a look!
Koalas to the Max Dot Com
That’s the name of the site. I don’t know why. But it’s worth checking out: it starts off with one circle, but every time you roll over a circle, it divides into 4. And so on. Some great front-end work here.
Wikipedia Redefined
While I don’t necessarily agree with all/many of the choices made, this project is worth a look. A creative agency called New! decided to take it upon themselves to rebrand and redesign Wikipedia.
See you next week!
