This is the second chapter of my Wabi Sabi series. It has been a long while since chapter 1. To compensate the lack of updates, I’m writing a long one for Yugen 幽玄.

Just got my new portable media player with Vivi from Sim Lim Square yesterday. It is the latest 2nd Generation iPod Nano 2GB. I absolutely love it!

Recently I have been working on a Flash project which included an XML gallery. My goal in the design was to make navigating the thumbnails and images as hassle-free and intuitive as possible. One of the interactive features is for the gallery to be scrollable via the mousewheel.

There are already lots of web design galleries online for CSS/Standards-based sites, flash sites, ugly sites but what I have come across today was quite different. I just like it. Maybe it’s the way the previews are displayed, nice and big thumbnails and minimum text. Most importantly, the designs showcase are more worth checking out then most of the galleries out there. They also have separate sections for local and international designs. So if you are a sucker for Japanese web design, you should check this one out.

This is a continuation of my original post on Wabi Sabi — Zen Principles of Aesthetics. If you have not read that article, I strongly recommend you read it before this one.
