Do you remember the Simpsons where the two teenagers are standing at Lallapalooza and one says to the other: “Wait, are you being sarcastic?” and the other responds, “I don’t even know anymore, man”. This is the quandry I find myself in tonight. I know this is a passing fad, and I’m taking a lame stab at it, but I had to have one site up that I could say had a “Web 2.0″ look and feel before the design trend swept by. When we look back in a couple of years and everything is so succinctly dated, I’ll have this moment to compare to purple Zubaz. If you catch my drift.
There was a hardcore punk band that I loved back in Minneapolis called Code 13. (It was the California police code for Officer Down, I believe). They took a challenge one night over beers to write a pop-punk song. And thus the song “Mallrat Girl” was born. Strangely, it grew to become one of their most requested songs. But the point is, they wrote it to prove they could do something that went against what they would have staked claim to as their “norm”. Once again, I’m drawing elaborate metaphors to justify doing something I feel a little sheepish about.
Anyway, in case you haven’t figured out what I’m talking about yet, this site is, as of 8pm CST on August 14th, 2006, officially Web 2.0, in that it has shiny reflective buttons for navigation, and makes liberal use of Trebuchet MS. It might not last long, but I had to prove to myself that I didn’t just hate this fad because I couldn’t pull it off. 
Looks good! Liked the old design a lot, like this one alot too.
I think everyone is slowly falling pray to the “2.0” look - It’s really not just a Web 2.0 application look anymore, its more of “Everyone likes whitespace, bright colors, and reflections!” ;)
It’s appley-delicious! :)
