Aha! is an exclamation for finding a link I wanted to blog that I thought I had lost.
The lost-but-found link in question is to B List’s Let’s talk about frameworks which adds ‘big belly’ to your web vocabulary. It brings up Ruby on Rails which Penny-Arcade is based on. I heard a little about Ruby on Rails at Webstock 2006 from Michael Koziarski. My impression was it seemed accessible kind of in the same way PHP is. I don’t know massive amounts about PHP but it always seemed something that I could learn if I needed to.
2Advanced’s “Attractor” website is a pretty spectacular effort for a completely Flash-based website. I think it has a pretty big download so dial-up users may want to open this one in a separate tab and come back to it. I’m particularly interested in the effort to have ‘pages’ in a Flash site so you can bookmark pages and use your back and forward browser buttons. It doesn’t happen all the time, for example when you click to download the wallpaper that opens in a Flash window, but it’s still impressive nonetheless.
