Todays' Web Designer Ramblings - Photo of the Day is a rural setting in Bernalillo, New Mexico. I thought this photo perfectly encapsulated the relentless competitiveness that, for better or for worse, is so much a part of the American capitalist system.

The 25 Best Free Quality Fonts Blog is a great resource for any web designer looking for top-quality fonts for their web design. This is a well-chosen short-list of beautiful typefaces that range from elegant to classic. These fonts work best as titles, headings and logos as they must be converted to graphics to be used in web design. They cannot be used as html text since they must reside on the computer of the viewer to be seen. However, they are wonderful fonts for creating graphics for any website!

The Web Designer Ramblings - Photo of the Day is shot in one of my favorite destinations, Taos, New Mexico. This quaint town is rich in Native American culture juxtaposed with modern style. A wonderful place to visit year round, and a skiers' delight in the winter. This scene shows the typical Anasazi Adobe architecture adopted by many of the local stores.

Oooh, Nice Design!

As a web designer, some of my best inspiration comes from other creative disciplines. When it comes to automobile design, there is occasionally a flash of brilliance that just makes you pause . . . in admiration. The BMW Gina is a concept vehicle that is a creative tour-de-force in its rethinking of the materials that go into the skin of a vehicle. In this case, a taut fabric covers engine and frame in much the way that skin covers sinew. The automotive "skin" literally ripples with activity, with seamless doors and headlights that appear under "eyelids" that appear to blink. It may never see the light of day, but is, nonetheless, a fascinating testament to creativity! Get the full story here.

The Tranquil setting in today's Web Designer Ramblings - Photo of the Day is from one of my favorite parks in Arizona. Papago Park is a rambling patch of curious red rock formations sprinkled with fishing lagoons and picnic facilities. It is also home to the family of geese seen in this photo.

What web designer does not want to occasionally cast away the glowing flat screen of his solitary computer and flee into the wild at times? This is one of my favorite getaways, Sedona, Arizona. Chock full of wonderful hiking and biking trails that traverse some of the most beautiful red rock country in the world . . . aah . . . nice!

My Web Designer Ramblings Photo of the Day features a charming little craft seen in Madrid, New Mexico. Madrid is an old mining ghost town revived as a funky artists commune. This tiny, colorful little town site on the scenic Turquoise Trail (Hwy 17) between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Highly recommended for an afternoon visit!
