Short and sweet this week.

MISCELLANEOUS

• The Cool Hunter - “Roaming the U.S. and the globe…so you’re in the know.” A site that keeps you up to date with the latest ‘cool’ things. Great site, cheesy name. Don’t miss the pixel couch.
• Dear God - “Hear us, one prayer at a time.” A site full of posts containing people’s conversations with God. Some people are gratuitous, some people are inquisitive…and others are just angry. Quite interesting to read.
• PostACrime.com - “Stop Crime, Get Cash.” Taken from the website…”a free service for anyone to upload photo or video content of burglary, theft, vandalism, or other criminal acts that have been caught on camera for the purpose of identification by the public.” This could keep anyone busy.

DESIGN

• Vitamin - “Nourishment to help the web grow.” A great resource for web designers and developers.
• The BookScans Database - If you’re into vintage design, you’ll probably enjoy these images of old books.

PHOTOGRAPHY

• Dave Hill Photo - Photography with a surreal feel. Very interesting.
• David Bean Photography - Great Nashville-based photographer with a very impressive client list.

Welcome to my latest attempt at a recurring series titled “Bookmarked”.  I hope to introduce you to various cool things on the internet periodically.  Enjoy!

DESIGN 

•  ISO50- The Visual Work of Scott Hansen - Scott Hansen is by far one of my favorite designers.  The colors, shapes, and typefaces that he chooses are perfect.  Beautiful work that anyone can appreciate.
• Cameron Moll - When it comes to web design, Cameron has flawless taste.  He became widely know for his Wicked Worn Series, but it’s his knack for clean design that really inspires me.  His blog is extremely informative.
• Veerle Pieters - One of the best CSS blog designs out there.  She frequently offers great how-to posts for Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Smashing Magazine - This may be the number one online resource for designers of any kind.  Learn CSS tricks, find the best Photoshop tutorials, or even the best designed Wordpress themes.  There’s a plethora of information to sort through.  A little bit overwhelming - but it’s a good thing.

PHOTOGRAPHY

• Jeremy Cowart Photography - With only a few years of photography under his belt, it’s amazing how much he has accomplished already (just take a look at his clients).  Oh, and he’s from Nashville, to boot.  My only complaint:  no blog!

PRODUCTS

• Fresh Arrival - “one amazingly cool thing, every day.”
• Uncrate - The Buyer’s Guide For Men - hard-to-find and extremely cool and useful products.  And for women - Outblush.
