We all loved ColorMatch.dk but they seem to have disappeared [they're back!! 02/09]. This site has built a modified version. I must say it's less elegant than the original but it has the added functionality that you can save your color palette as a Photoshop .ACT file.

I found the Jane's addiction site at the Designinteract.com site's "Site O'the Week" page. Since my number-one favorite, The Sydney Opera House Virtual Tour is down for repairs, I had to go looking. I figured I'd use design Interact again, so better Blog-it
Design Interact: SOW
My cool site of the week - Just to push the discussion of Rich Media Experiences on the web. It may not be everyone's cup of mead, but I think it captures the essence of what I like to call a "Layering Effect" for creating an enriching audio/visual experience.
