My AZ BFF sent me this website because she thought it was unique and beautifully done.

I have to agree – I like the artistic simplicity.

This has been my latest goal, my nemesis…. I think I have a good, workable solution and then it doesn’t work in IE6 (which it MUST for my work – mandated). Originally I wanted this menu to be horizontal but am having more luck finding vertical examples.

but I should have know CSS Play would save the day again.

I want Stu’s brain… seriously. :P

I’ve been struck by 3 amazing women in the tech field but for privacy sake, I won’t blog in detail about them. All possess a lifetime’s worth of knowledge about many topics within IT and carry out their jobs with grace and humility. They taught me a lot about how to effectively communicate and about their particular fields.
We’ve come a long way baby! Thanks to pioneers like Ada.

This site is just pretty – it’s well done, easy to use, clean, unique.

my only gripe is the scrolling, which should prompt them to use an anchor tag to the top or include bottom navigation.
