On the same topic, the epic Ken Kifer's Bike Pages: http://www.phred.org/~alex/kenkifer/www.kenkifer.com/bikepages/ http://www.phred.org/~alex/kenkifer/www.kenkifer.com/bikepag... And in similar style from a similar era, Ian's Shoelace Site: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ (the Ian Knot will change your life, though I use the double-Ian Knot to never re-tie laces again).

  a lot of the other ones are almost purposely ugly. this one I really like though. minimalism and utility dont also need to be deliberately disjointed. http://lucumr.pocoo.org/ http://lucumr.pocoo.org/ and http://http2.info/ http://http2.info/ are simple yet feel carefully crafted.

  For those outside the UK and/or are unaware, this is a real business. The owner, Ling Valentine [0], even appeared on Dragon's Den seeking investment of £50,000 [1].

  My god, the autoplaying YouTube video disguised as yet another GIF... The Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da one ain't half bad, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2whZLX8nDw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2whZLX8nDw EDIT: is there an established subgenre for "Chinese knockoff surf rock"? Because if there is, I want a hell of a lot more of it.
