Coraline Website

coralineweb

I’ve been interested in this movie since I saw the trailer, but I visited the website to find out info on the anticipated Coraline Dunks. Fortunately, the site had more to offer. An awesome interactive site with lot of features including behind the scene video clips, desktop screensaver of beautiful patterning, photo manipulation to put buttons over your eyes, posters and bookmarkers for you to print out. The art direction they took with this movie was impressive. There’s a link to a blog, which has been talking about the Coraline Dunks for all the collectors out there, but explore the site.

Blackbird, the browser for black people

While browsing around the internet I was directed to this website featuring a brand new internet browser, this browser offers something that no other browser does. It’s a browser for the African American population. Now, I’m pretty much one of the whitest people out there, so I can’t pretend to understand issue of race on its full level, but I didn’t realize that the internet needed a new browser specifically for the African American population.

More specifically I’m confused on why this is the job of the browser and not something that could be accomplished by building a website that can be accessed by any browser. I just hope that suburban white high school kids don’t start downloading this in an attempt to boost their “street cred.”
