There is something so calming and relaxing and set to a specific order that calms me down, keeps me from throwing good code away, forces me to tear out and eliminate code and design clutter, and something that quickly grounds me. And that is Apple's website. I don't know what the voodoo is, maybe is subtle CSS techniques paired with great Quicktime integration and layouts that are elegant and offer up its data without working hard. But its a zen spot for me without question.
I go to Adobe's site, a destination for creative professionals, and it angers me. Right now on the PC in Firefox most of the homepage is rendered in faulty CSS black. I assume that means a background image is missing. The fact that its smooshed to the left leaving a HUGE empty gap on my widescreen monitor is frustrating. Even if Apple's site doesn't use much more width than Adobe's site, it feels a lot better centered on my monitor, keeping my eyes in a more central scanning location.
So if I get mad, I need to steer clear of Adobe's website and pop over to Apple's. Ahh... the new Aperture section is indeed calming. And makes me want to organize my piles of digital assets. And blog nonsense for a bit longer. Back to Photoshop comping up some UI. Think clean.
