Most awesome site of the week

I went to a AIGA/Adobe sponsored live recording of Design Matters with Debbie Millman where she was interviewing Alan Dye currently of Apple Computers. During Alan's diatribe, he mentioned that he prefers to sketch on napkins since they have less of a permanence that a traditional notebook. Many of the designers in the audience agreed with him. I thought of him when I saw this product:

crazy Andrew Andrew site



Thie Reatiler has interesting way of dealing with a website, putting smack dab in the center of it and letting you explore up down and sideways. It doesn't really use this method to it's full potential though. It needs more Content.

Texas Wildflower Identification




A couple of sites that will aid in identifying Texas wild flowers:

http://www.lone-star.net/mall/txtrails/wildflowers/flowers.htm -
broken down by color of flower.
http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/wildseed/index.html - a bit more
difficult to use because you need to know what you are looking for.
But, they have pictures, growing information and resources for seeds.

What are these MBA's Learning?

This conference is being put on by mostly MBA's in training, which should mean that they've learned something about marketing right? Apparenty not. This the most uninformative and useless site I think I've ever seen. Also , they are clearly in need of some design help, maybe also some education in the importnae of design in marketing.
