Better creativity through web surfing
My creative energies have been in a bit of a diminished state lately. Why? Probably because it’s the busiest time of the year at work and I am getting increasingly eager for spring and warmer weather to be here on a more permanent basis.
That brings up the question, how do you give those creative energies a boost? One of things I find useful is browsing the web (okay, that’s no big surprise). With that in mind, there are a few new links that I’ve recently added to my page of web sites I visit on a regular basis. First, the css Zen Garden and the CSS Vault are collections of standards-based web sites and designs that have been accumulated specifically to inspire creativity.
The other links I’ve added have nothing to do with web design. After all, giving your brain something else to focus on can also get those creative juices flowing. NPR’s All Songs Considered is a multimedia, online music program that’s a great way to discover and learn about music that isn’t heard on traditional media outlets. Finally, I always try to visit the Mental Floss quiz of the day to get my daily dose of useless trivia. Isn’t Mental Floss a great name for a trivia site?
