…Popdeck is great for custom skateboards?

Popdeck

Popdeck is “the first design community just for skateboarders”.

Like Threadless, Popdeck lets designers upload their designs to the site, and then users can vote on them to select the winners. Unlike Threadless, winning designs end up becoming limited edition skateboard decks that probably aren’t as comfortable to wear as a t-shirt would be.

Each deck is hand numbered, and if you’re going to buy a board anyways, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want one that looks good and isn’t owned by every kid on the block.

…It’s Website Wednesday: Faviconize?

Faviconize is a favicon directory that wants to list the best favicons from around the Internet. (And with over 11,500 already, they’re well on their way.)

The favicon is an often overlooked and unfortunately under utilized tool. It’s the little icon/logo in your address bar that gives you a quick and visual differentiator between each site and the next, and it also separates out your bookmarks beyond just text.

Though it’s such a small piece of a website’s overall look and feel, it’s a large part of the functionality of a site, and especially if you want to bookmark that site and return later, which is why Faviconize celebrates each little icon as if it was a little piece of art.

You can favorite them, vote on them, and even sort them by color and rating, which means Faviconize covers just about everything you could ever want to do with a favicon. (And then some.)

…It’s Website Wednesday: Mod My Life?

Though it’s still in private beta mode, Mod My Life has some definite possibility.

Described as “a unique way to view and interact with the world. It’s kind of like ‘Second Life’ mapped back onto the real world.”

Basically, mods are suggestions for future actions. (Example: Bargain for a half-price Big Mac.) Users submit mods, and they’re added to the mod pool, where users can vote for mods that they like, and flag mods that they don’t. The more votes that a mod receives, the more likely it is that it will be promoted to the mod finals.

Modstars are the ones who perform the mods. The users determine their actions via the mod voting system, and the Modstar must do what the users say. Once he has finished one mod, the users can choose the next from among the finals, and it starts all over again.

To keep things really interesting, all of the mods are performed live (give or take the few seconds used to keep the video smooth).Video is streamed straight to the users, allowing you watch in real time as the Modstar performs each mod.

Sound like your scene? Then head on over to Mod My Life and sign up for the private beta, because we all need a bit more control.

…It’s Things Thursday: Custom 52?

Custom 52

Custom 52 wants to know what the art world can do with a deck of cards.

“Meant to inspire and bring together the artistic community in a new and exciting way”, Custom 52 is “an online design community using playing cards as [a] canvas.”

Artists submit their ideas, and then the public votes to pick the best ones. The top 52 designs are then printed onto a deck of playing cards that “everyone can enjoy and spread across the land.”

It’s an interesting idea, and the first cycle of cards are amazingly creative and beautiful, so spice up your next poker night with a set of Custom 52s.
