"Stumbling" through the internet

If you don't already know about "Stumble" then you clearly have been missing out. Stumble is a randomized search engine that lets you plug in a few broad topics by ticking the radio boxes in your "favorites" section.

Presto, you're ready to stumble...if I had more hours in a day, or say didn't ever have to sleep, then I would spend most of my life on this. It's amazing what you can stumble upon. Go to www.stumble.com for more info...it's a great research aid.

Here are some things I found (all link to original sites)

Wow, just as I was typing this post i stumbled upon this awesome new media design agency's website. They are known as "Amautalab". Definitely check it out, I was blown away by the shear detail and interactivity of their site.

The home screen is extremely plain and simple, almost boring, and when you click on either of the first three topics an annoying animal sound repeats until it loads the scenery, but don't be fooled...it is well worth the wait. Go check them out on www.amautalab.com/

Here's some more typography:

Will keep posting...I seem to be quite into the whole modernistic vibe of Wim Crouwel's era. I aim to try mix that with my own creative take on typography, maybe pull in a few textures as well.
