UX Magazine
I must say I am impressed with this magazines grid-design layout. Quite possibly the most appropriate layout/design for an online magazine I’ve seen. Not to mention the entire site is dedicated to the discussion/review of User Experience (Something a lot of us have a hard time convincing our clients to pay for).

Here’s a pull from thier site…

Every month we combine original articles with the best from blogs and online media to deliver an online magazine that covers the best new thinking on design, strategy, technology and common sense. We believe that the more businesses can bring ideas from these 4 critical disciplines inside their business the better the user experiences they deliver will be.

They say that there are three things in life that you shouldn’t scrimp on:

1. Good shoes (since you’re always on your feet)
2. Good mattress (since you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping)
3. Good desk chair (if you work at a desk)

What would you add to this list?

I like how Ruby Tuesday used a quick-rotating picture montage on the homepage of their site. The cool background texture adds a lot.

Blackberry is actually a really good name for a product.

We’ve been working all weekend on this folks. I’m really excited to introduce our newest product which will make each of you pro bloggers in 20 minutes and independently wealthy by days end.

Weightshift really captured my attention. Not because it’s actually a one-man band but because of the interesting layout and colors used. Cooler than a frozen banana!
