Three of the better entries from this year's 5k website competition:
The idea is to build a complete website in under 5k, hence today's small pipe theme. If anyone has any ideas for next year, I simply -must- submit something.

Why does a clock have to be round? Fun once you figure out how to read it, and because it shows moon phase.

Make sure you have some prog-rock on in the background, and be warned-- it never stops mutating...

The Book of Five Rings
From the author's notes:

Around 1600 AD, an incredible swordsman by the name of Miyamoto Musashi roamed feudal Japan. He was literally invincible, regularly fighting scores of men alone and winning.

In 1645, late in life, he dictated the secrets he had learned throughout his travels, calling it 'The Book of Five Rings'. Each of the first four rings (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind) deals with a different aspect of overcoming adversity, while the last ring reveals what he saw as the innermost tenet of his philosophy.

Since then, his book has been studied as a means to success in any discipline, not just sword fighting. Near as I can tell, however, it hasn't been applied to web design (until now!).

From today's Gidday Kiwi:
"[New Zealand] entertainer Gary McCormick got so angry when his car got towed away he took an axe and smashed it in the tow yard." Well, that -is- entertaining.
