Flash Kit - World's Web Top 10 ?

Here's part of an email I got today. Anyone agree :)

Dear 2001 World’s Top 10 Wonders of the WWW Award Winner,

Your site has been nominated and selected as one of the My Spaceship Earth site’s “World’s Top 10 Wonders of the WWW Award.” This web site award recognizes exceptional contributions of web sites in promoting world vision through site content and/or delivery. (www.myspaceshipearth.com)

Flash Kit <http://www.flashkit.com>

Flash Kit started late October in 1999. It was created as a resource site for Flash developers. Flash is a powerful multimedia product from Macromedia. The site was built to create a one stop raw materials center for Flash creations. Its founders realized the value of such a site, after having spent hours surfing for sounds, images and ideas.

What its founders did not realize then, or maybe even today, is that they have created a world portal for multimedia developers to establish contact with other likeminded persons and companies. International collaboration is here on the Internet, and one place it takes place everyday is on this site. There's a world of entertaining and provocative resources on this site, but it's the potential for following up with a real human that puts this developer site in a class by itself. This site's world vision is providing a world-class, worldwide forum for multimedia developers to gain resources and ideas, interact with each other, and return to their work armed with a new custom tool kit needed to create that next great multimedia project.

He's wrong!
FK is the #1 on the web. :) (IMHO anyway.)

But for some peeps to recognise that FK is one of the fundimental Building Blocks of the World Wide Flash Community, must be a good thing.

I havent heard of MySpaceShipEarth - but you never know - they might be HUGE! :D

Congrats Steve, Mark, Trav, Tommy, and the rest of the FKB Team ;)

Nah, don't think they are huge at all, but I kinda like his comments. I'll post the whole email if you like.

Hmm...never heard of my space ship...earth..

sites that have fostered world vision in their content or content
delivery, each site according to its capabilities and all representing
the finest and noblest inclinations in man, the sciences, the arts, and
our awesome reality.

There is no ranking in these "World's Top 10." The winners are listed
alphabetically.

Artist's Village <http://www.artistsvillage.com>

The ArtistsVillage.com gallery provides the artist with a great
opportunity to have his/her work displayed and offered for sale on the
Internet at absolutely no cost. This makes the art work viewable and
purchasable by art lovers all over the world. This site also is
committed to getting the word out about other art sites all over the
Internet. Through its onsite galleries, links, and art directories, the
world of art becomes just a click away. The site shows world vision
through its appreciation and support of artists and art worldwide, as
well as the openness and connectedness that the site goes about its
important mission. Looking for a great new work of art to enhance your
life? This may be the place to find it! Looking to exhibit your original
art work in a first-rate online gallery? This may be your place! There
are many great works of original art to choose from here. Whether you
browse or buy... it's a great site!

Cosmic Ancestry <http://www.panspermia.com>

Life comes from space because life comes from life. This is the central
proposition of this site, and all resources are presented in support of
this proposition. This site is concerned with how life got started on
Earth-- seeded from outer space, the organizers of this site argue
convincingly. After you look through their articles and examine their
ideas, whether you believe the organizers of this site is not so
important as that you know life on Earth much better than before, you
see the possibilities and the odds of life having evolved a certain way.
This is the world vision presented on this site: to look creatively,
systematically, universally, at our life on Earth and how it could have
germinated and developed as it has. Kudos for the organizers of this
site in presenting very complex material in a provocative, very
readable, downright gripping, style.

David Chalmer's Site <http://www.u.arizona.edu/~chalmers/index.html>

David is a philosopher at the University of Arizona, where he is
Professor of Philosophy and Associate Director of the Center for
Consciousness Studies. He specializes in the philosophy of mind, and in
related areas of philosophy and cognitive science. He is especially
interested in consciousness, artificial intelligence, computation, in
philosophical issues about meaning and possibility, and in the
foundations of cognitive science and physics. David's site is hosted on
the University of Arizona web servers. His world vision is his
philosophical focus on the light of human consciousness and on how this
light can be shined and perceived by feeling, thinking humans. His site
offers both a great introduction to beginners in this academic
discipline and a resource center for professional philosophers. The
curiosity of his world vision is admirable. One gets the impression,
however, that the site is due for a fuller synthesis of the key ideas in
consciousness studies in readable form with a low fog factor. David is
well suited to provide such a synthesis.

Flash Kit <http://www.flashkit.com>

Flash Kit started late October in 1999. It was created as a resource
site for Flash developers. Flash is a powerful multimedia product from
Macromedia. The site was built to create a one stop raw materials center

vision is providing a world-class, worldwide forum for multimedia
developers to gain resources and ideas, interact with each other, and
return to their work armed with a new custom tool kit needed to create
that next great multimedia project.

Japanorama <http://www.japanorama.com>

Established in 1997, Japanorama supplies Japan-related products and
information to Japanophiles throughout the world. Since their founding,
the web site has assisted many in learning the Japanese ways and in
finding products and services that met an individual's need when
crossing from the American to Japanese cultures. Superficially, we often
cross the barriers between cultures. Japanorama assists in crossing
these same barriers in a way that the barriers are greatly reduced in
size and the two cultures co-exist as one larger culture set. This is
the world vision of Japanorama... to bring cultures together into a
larger, richer community of transnationals, persons able to navigate the
territory between the Japanese and the American/English cultures. In
this "no man's land" there is a premium on information and
communication.

Nelson-Atkins Museum Tempus Fugit Exhibition
<http://www.nelson-atkins.org/tempusfugit>

The "Time Flies" exhibition from the Nelson-Atkins museum in Kansas
City, Missouri takes a probing but entertaining look at the role that
time plays in our lives and in art. Featuring works of art in its own
collection, the online exhibit examines how the concept of time has
differed in various cultures and individuals and, as well, how time
affects the artists' creations and is truly relative. The feature "World
Times' takes a look at how time is perceived, while the feature
"Conservation Time" examines the life cycle of a work of art. The
ability to look at close ups of some art works gives a virtual reality
to the exhibit. The world vision of the exhibit is to examine the
significance of time in our lives and in the life of art works. Time and
space makeup our reality, and some would add some intangible element
such as essence. Einstein cited the convergence of space and time, and
their relativity. This exhibit's focus on time and art, along with its
excellent artistic presentation, make this a must-see multimedia
experience.

Nobel Official Site <http://www.nobel.se>

The Official Web Site of The Nobel Foundation. In 1996, a decision was
made to expand the Nobel Website into Nobel e-Museum, a virtual museum
on the Web. Think of all the great content at their disposal! The Nobel
Foundation, established on June 29, 1900 is the central body of the
Nobel organization responsible for awarding the Nobel Prizes. It manages
the assets made available through the will of Alfred Nobel for the
awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or
Medicine, Literature and Peace. The Nobel Prize is synonymous with the
finest drives and achievements of humans on planet Earth. This site's
content features the lives and achievements of the Nobel Prize winners,
the rich heritage of the Nobel Prize and its generous benefactor, and
numerous new educational sections that may just spark a young mind to
aspire to noteworthy humanistic achievement. This site's world vision is
of the world as one community, one humanity, guided by the dedication
and genius of luminaries that should be recognized and honored by all
people in the world for their truly unique contributions to our lives
and our common posterity.

Putumayo <http://www.putumayo.com>

Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the
music of other cultures. The label grew out of the Putumayo clothing
company that was founded in 1975. In the past seven years, the label has
become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great
international music that are "guaranteed to make you feel good!"
Putumayo's CD covers feature distinctive naïve art, whose colorful,
folkloric style represents one of Putumayo's goals: to connect the
traditional to the contemporary to create products that people love. By
combining appealing music and visuals while supporting its releases with
creative retail promotions and marketing, Putumayo World Music has
developed a reputation as one of the industry's most innovative
companies. The label has produced more than 60 CDs. Putumayo's world
vision is to see the inherent value in the world's diverse ethnic music,
to make such music available across the world, and to foster its
dissemination and acceptance around the world.

Troll Art <http://www.trollart.com>

Ray Troll's site shows off his immense artistic talents and intellect.
He's capable of painting a post-modern Mona Lisa, albeit a finned or
scaled one. Ray combines his artistic skills with his curiosity of
evolution and natural science to create works of art based primarily on
the fish kingdom from whence we came. When he gets the wish to do a
Grateful Dead album cover out of his system, he will be fully capable of
making the transition from creative nature artist to brilliant mature
artist. I sense this juncture is coming soon. Ray's art depicts the way
nature was, is, and will be. He also captures the curious perversion of
that creature of both nature and society called "man." Ray's world
vision is a powerfully raw artistic vision of man's heritage and future
in the cosmos. He has a sense of the epic in art. His paintings are
reminiscent of the epic canvasses of Hieronymus Bosch. Though he is in
tune with his homeland of Alaska and its grand nature, he is equally at
home on the Amazon River. He is a true naturalist, but a fish is not
just a fish to Ray. He is a naturalist who understands the nuances of
symbolism, allegory, and surrealism. If you have not seen his work, you
need to; if you have not purchased a piece of his work, you better
hurry!

The WWW Virtual Library <http://www.vlib.org>

Online web resource catalog. The VL is the oldest catalog of the web,
started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of html and the web itself.
Unlike commercial catalogs, it is run by a loose confederation of
volunteers, who compile pages of key links for particular areas in which
they are expert. Even though it isn't the biggest index of the web, the
VL pages are widely recognized as being amongst the highest-quality
guides to particular sections of the web. The VL pages represent how the
web was in its earliest days and how a non-commercial Internet operates.
The site's world vision is in its vision of the Internet as a channel of
information and communication a priori to commercial gain and vendor
elbowing for position. Luckily, the attitudes that germinated and made
available the Internet are still alive and well, and still working hard
to keep the fences off the prairie and the media moguls at bay.

Take a look at these sites by clicking on the bulleted link!
Individually, each site enriches us with its strong world vision.
Collectively, they are the 2001 "World's Top 10 Wonders of the WWW"!

Here we are in this wholly fantastic Universe with scarcely a clue as to whether our existence has any real significance. No wonder then that many people feel the need for some belief that gives them some sense of security, and no wonder that they become angry with people like me who say that this security is illusory. But I do not like the situation any better than they do.

I feel 100% like Fred Hoyle and I still hope that there will be something after our death, too.
