Have Some 5k Fun!
Permenant Link To: Have Some 5k Fun!
Since today is a holiday, and most people like to relax a bit on holidays, I thought I'd do my part to accommodate your needs.
Over the weekend I was reminded of a fun site that, regrettably, I hadn't seen in over a year. The site is http://www.the5k.org/list.asp. Perhaps you've seen it. It's fairly popular. In case you haven't, the premise of the site is simple: they have a contest that solicits creative content from all sort of web developers. The content can relate to just about anything, but here's the kicker - it must be no more than 5k in size. In this world of 100k+ sites and gigabyte hard drives, the concept of creating content that is less than 5k in size is quite a challenge, as you can imagine.
Of course, there are Flash entries, but there are also some that simply use good ol' HTML and/or JavaScript.
Entries are available online for your viewing pleasure. While a lot of the stuff I looked at was kinda lame, there are a number of pretty creative people out there; they can do a lot with so very little.
If you're looking for a brief escape, by all means check the site out. Don't expect to see any preloaders here! :)

Foul and offensive language is not only moronic and childish, but any posts containing it WILL be deleted!
Play Nice.
Posts containing personal attacks of any kind will be deleted. If you disagree with someone's opinion, provide an opposing one, without attacking the person. For example, "Derek, your stance on eating doughnuts will harm future generations." Not, "Derek, you're an idiot, and your stance on eating doughnuts is the dumbest thing I've ever heard..."

Once again, since this site carries my name, posts containing religious and/or political views (nice or not) will be deleted.

I know it's easy to get off on another tangent, and it's not really that big of a deal, but try to confine your comments to the discussion at hand. :)
