Awesome site. http://k10k.net/

Searching for a little inspiration for the design of lj.com i decided to cruise around A List Apart for a while.

I was looking for a design nerd sort of site, and from past experience ALA has had awesome design related links. I started reading an article called Thinking Outside the Grid by Molly E. Holzschlag. Good article. I didn't quile get half way thru it when i found k10k.net.

K10k.net or "The Designers' Lunchbox" is just the site was looking for. It's pretty much an (mostly InfoTech) art centred web zine with lots of goodies. Each issue centres around an art peice. There are other artsy displays, news feeds and other exciting things to feed your brain.

My favorite feature so far is the project matchmaker. What an awesome idea! You navigate thru a table each row being a project and its basic stats. When you click on a project name, the area to the left of the table comes up with more info including: the project name and timeframe, the project website, a project contact person, a description of the project, and people & skill needed.

People can put their projects up for free. There's tons of cool projects up there. It's very inspiring. I'd like to recreate this idea in a more localized context. One day.
