Australian INfront: VISUAL RESPONSE
Veteran of the design community, Justin Fox just let me know that Visual Response is back up and running. Will this be a revival of the scene or just a throwback? Only time will tell.
TheFWA
Favourite website awards. Web Awards recognising the very best in cutting edge website design.
FWA gets a new look, and its quite spectacular. They should get a FWA for their own site :)

Lovely simple web and graphic design from NYC. I really enjoy the work they did for Manifest Equality.

Locus OS Interface
Locus OS Interface from Barton Smith on Vimeo.
This project has no association with Microsoft. The project was originally intended for the Microsoft Next Gen Computer competition in 2008. Hence I also looked at the project from a branding perspective and how a product like this might become Microsoft's key arm along with Surface etc.
Location-based operating system
Multiple widget desktops designed around a location or activity ie Kitchen, Office, Car
Automatically switches between desktops with GPS and wi-fi mapping
Designed for Stream adaptive computer system: http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Stream/191676

Fantastic Four
After "watching my wife surf to the same four websites over and over," KNI designer extraordinaire Daniel Box decided he needed to create Fav4.org --- 'A simple website to set as your browser's default homepage featuring links to 4 of your favorite websites.' Slick super easy UI for configuration and a nice, peaceful, zen start to your browsing day. Lovely.
