Making it live

I have collected a nice assortment of blogs that I read constantly through Google's Reader.  What I love most about the blogs I read is gaining new perspective on the news and trends.

The latest which I read from Hank Williams (http://whydoeseverythingsuck.com/2008/09/one-of-coolest-homepages-ive-seen.html) was a short complement on the home page of Angelsofthttp://www.angelsoft.net/
 
What is neat is that the developers took a standard system output -  the activity log and took it out of hiding, unwrapped it, put it in a glass showcase in their front window and turned on the spotlights. As Hank pointed out, the mapping of activity on the site really brings it to life in an intriguing way that no amount of rollovers, transparencies, and slides could do.

Howabout that for great re-use!
