&lt;p&gt;Even though I can make websites, I’m eager for Flavors.me to launch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You make a one-page profile with a hi-res photo … it’s easy and elegant, and launches a week from tomorrow. The alpha users are lapping it up &lt;a href="http://flavors.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;“Looks like it might become my stock recommendation for people asking for small vanity sites.” -&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/nwe44/statuses/5017356525" target="_blank"&gt;Nicholas Evans&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flavors.me/directory" target="_blank"&gt;The gallery&lt;/a&gt; is pretty exciting … LAUNCH THIS SITE!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This looks great. I want one! Very &lt;a href="http://www.zachklein.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Zach Klein&lt;/a&gt; aren’t they.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Taking a fresh approach to an established form is at the foundation of innovation and we applaud anyone who can pull it off - like &lt;a href="http://www.ronarad.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ron Arad&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt; who has created this incredibly unique luxury bath concept, which turns the traditional bath on its head, literally. Aside from its obvious aesthetic appeal - it’s like a giant art installation for your bathroom - its also multi-purpose, transforming from bath to shower as the whole unit revolves.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;National Geographic&lt;/i&gt; photographer Paul Nicklen recently traveled to Antarctica to take &lt;a&gt;underwater photographs of leopard seals&lt;/a&gt;. When he arrived, he and his guide were greeted by the largest leopard seal either of them had ever seen. Upon entering the water the vicious sea beast immediately took Paul’s camera and entire head into her mouth, but then something changed. All we’ll say is that it involves penguins. Watch the video to find out.&lt;/p&gt;
