Thoughts on Balloons
The World’s first Internet Balloon Race is now over and everyone is waiting to see if they’ve won anything. As you can tell from the sidebar I finished in 124th place out of over 30,000 participants, which qualifies me for nothing of significance.

There were quite a few portfolio sites which I like because it is always interesting to see how designers and creatives organize and display their work. Here are some of the more intriguing examples:
Did anyone else out there participate? What are your thoughts on the race?
