Comedian and actor Jim Carrey has a pretty bizarre web site. It’s filled with crazy animations, strange sound and music, and some surprises.

Actor Jeff Bridges fills his site with interesting illustrations and writing.

Inspired by a post on Hacker News.

Check out this sweet feature on the NBC Miami web site.

Whenever visitors are viewing an article they can rate it based on a number of factors — like “Laughing” or “Furious.” It’s a great way to gauge reader opinion without requiring that they leave a comment.

And — after you’ve shared your opinion, you can easily share it on Twitter or Facebook.

These designs are just flat out amazing to me. Love the vibrant color, detail, typography, effects. Designed by Moxie Sozo for Leap Organics and scheduled to launch spring 2010. Can’t wait to see them in the wild.

the Ugmonk Shop is bucking the trend and showing their t-shirts with wrinkles. They also have some really cool shirt designs.

Luxury tailor AJ-Hewitt has a site that shows off their fine clothing. I rather like the muted color palette and the big photos.

Boxee is a free service you can use to stream a bunch of video sources to your television. It’s very popular, and they just recently updated their web site and I think it’s gorgeous.

A few of the things I liked:

• The way the video is at the top of the page, but mostly hidden until you click on it.
• The way the navigation bar is a pull down showing extra functionality — it’s not really a navigation bar in the traditional sense.

I was checking out the Engadget blog and liked some of the ways they have the site designed. I’ve included a few screen captures below, of the areas I liked the most.

Interesting way of showing which posts are the most popular.

When you click “Submit Tip” this panel pops up with the giant headline “Boss of the year entry form,” and right under that in small type it says “Now that we’ve thrown ‘em off the trail.” — cool idea!

I liked the search input field design for the way they graphically made it feel important.

Sections are separated with this fantastic divider which shows the number of comments, and lets the user share or get a link.

The calendar showing the number of posts by day, which I find is often useless, looks awesome on this page layout. When you hover over a specific day you get a pop out that shows the number of posts.

So that’s just a few of the things I liked about the current Engadget site design.

I like the Fitbit web site. The home page does a nice job explaining what the product does, and gives examples of the data you’ll be able to access when you use the product.
