1. 
   Upstruct.com
   Interesting and trendy concept portfolio site, with Prototype and Scriptaculous as the javascript libraries of choice.

2. 
   AlexBuga.com
   One from my favorites, this one has some very interesting script features using mootools and some other "stuff". The green hanging lamp slides back and forth on a slider and produces a realistic light effect. The PNG image of the lamp includes the shining light that is a transparency effect using white for the light. (Note to self: start doing cool stuff with png or else!).

3. 
   Dgscreative.cz/en Something resembling creativity, and it doesn't hurt to have creative in your sites domain name either. The 3D Create logo is spectacular. Another fine detail is the sequential "Loading" animation when viewing portfolio pieces in the lihgtbox overlay.

4. 
   Albertlo.com
   Movable Type CMS, Jquery and some nice plugin work sliding the portfolio thumbnails on the homepage amongst other great features.

5. 
   Maddetective.com
   This website anticipates the UK release of the film "Mad Detective," in which the protagonist can see people's multiple personalities manifested in multiple people. The site is designed to look bruised and beaten, as the main character is in the early scenes.

6. 
   Digitaldesign.cherrypickpeople.com
   A vibrant but simple color palette at work here. The large photographic headers add some visual interest on the different site pages also.

7. 
   Gomediazine.com
   This looks to be a fresh redesign of this site and I'm liking it. Straight from Cleveland, Ohio home of the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum". They are stacking up a pretty good content lineup as well as continuing to offer graphic resources, freebies, tutorials and their usual tasty arsenal of vector packs. Keep GoMedia on your radar.

8. 
   Adhamipenderarchitecture.com
   A new design trend on the horizon, very tastefully done here, is animated flash backgrounds. This subtle fractal animation strikes me as a poignant addition to this architect portfolio site, that is a minimal layout in rich color tones... Magnifique!

9. 
   JonRawlinson.com
   My leisure pick of the week, this video producer's website has some great travel footage from all around the world. Take a break, and have a look. This one's utilizing Wordpress folks.

10. 
    Current.com
    Leisure pick number two. Having not delved too much into video and tv content type sites. The user-interface (UI) for this beta site is pretty well developed. The player was in use on the previous Jon Rawlinson site. Check out the schedule page for a flash nav gizmo, really nice stuff.
    
    Let me know what some of your favorite sites are for something more than youTube video shorts.

   You thought only Charley Brown was a blockhead, a block layout literally as well as just in the grid sense. Tetris fans might like this one, I know I do.

   lukelarsen.com/
   Large stylized horizontal website with Scrollto.

   kttunstall.com
   I have to admit I found this one as I was looking for green-earthy themed websites. I'm a huge fan of KT's, her site is pro all the way. She's a bit of an ecology activist as well.

   A major flash offering from retail giant JCPenney, upload your karaoke webcam footage, or just check out the other videos and mega-doodle-art.

   rockatee.com
   This one made my day, from the German lady designer Maleika Esther Attawel! Her previous site made it's way into the ExpressionEngine showcase. This design again very, very nice.

   Hoping this one works, they were having bandwidth problems, no doubt to all the viewing by gallery peeps, hence no screenshot yet.

    A fishing portal is a fun project to work on, this one really shines!

What the heck, here's 10 + 1 for this week, just happened on this fresh launch that's got such excellent execution on a lot of levels over at the EE forums. I'll get the jump on all the other galleries with this one, my fame and fortune can't be far behind, I'm fast approaching "Legendary Status" already, certainly in my own mind anyways. ...Lol.

T's Out Friends ;)

   A web development & design laboratory, minus the mad scientist, plus the ExpressionEngine CMS.

   A flash animated plasma-like background with various foreground layer alpha effects. Throw in some sIFR, jQuery accordion menus and sexy graphics & icons, and you've got yourself an edgy, modern and trendy website.

   http://www.thierryschlegel.net
   

   Interesting use of color in vivid blue and taupe, texture with some 3-D and splatter elements, and navigation choices retaining a
   hover color to show categories of works. Beyond these elements the site could use a bit of background information about Thierry apart
   from the resume pdf. Thierry's also bought in to the "Save the
   Developers" movement, which makes perfect sense to me on a portfolio site.

   It's no secret that I like, grungy worn-look websites and jQuery. The intro slide-in/fade-in jQuery transition, on load is the
   deal breaker, making this one-pager a must add to the standards gallery.

   This one is an awesome layout, again jQuery functions carousel combined with realistic artist palette textures! Hmmm... this one give
   me some big ideas for a personal project, on my someday todo list.

    Click around in the Flash intro header on the homepage, it's really sort of awe-inspiring even if you don't speak the
    language, did I see a w000t in there somewhere!

   Growldesign.co.uk
   Freelance portfolio of Hertfordshire, UK's web designer Jenna Smith, a well rounded code specialist with all of these in her skillset; PHP, MySQL, XML, XSLT and jQuery -"yea-a open source!"

2. 
   Awayback.com
   One of my favorites this week, Freelancer - Amrinder's site, who's self-described objectives include building "technically intelligent, visually impressive and freely creative websites"!
   If the portfolio site is any indication, then yeah I'm feeling the "visually impressive" bit, nice work.
   Note to self: start using some sIFR, it looks just excellent here in the headings.
   Typography overall very nice.

3. 
   Phunkn.com
   Phunky-funky, talented Creative Director -Jason Chieng's site.

4. 
   NickHand.net/
   Graphic design from the far North of Alaska, Nick's site utilizes an expansive grid and some Flash header treatments. The flash is a bit sluggish here, and as a result not very smooth tweening action, but it could just be my machine. Anybody have a 1Gb chip of old sdram laying a round, give me a yell ;) ...

   Space exploration from the mile-high city Denver, Colorado.

   A Seattle web design portolio, further proof that "Seattle still Rocks".

   http://www.tourtracker.com
   A new AOL brand website hit the streets this week, this one a great new music and concert resource TourTracker offers a whole host of original content and user submitted articles and inside-scoops about your favorite recording artists, as well as Tour Dates and ticket information for huge national tours as well as the pub down the street, incredible.
   
   Mubs confides in me he was instrumental, no pun intended, in java programming for the backend on this one, spending some time in Manhattan, NY the past couple of weeks. Thanks for turning me on to this one Mubashar, it Rocks! Everybody get out and catch some live music, you know you want to.

Quote of the Week:

"Believe in your dreams, for they can only take you to a place once unimaginable ... "
-Jason Chieng's site

That's about it for this week, happy Independence Day to anyone residing in the United States, Mubs in NY, and David B. from over at LogoPond down in Cajin country N'awlins, Lous'iana, and Simon across the other big pond at the reins of Stylegala. Shout-outs to all my friends scattered across the "Creative Planet" also, and enjoy the weekend, you know I will.

Peace out!
