Converting HTML to Flash (and design blogs I like).

Fantasy Interactive is a polarizing company. Initially know for completely overblown design and Flash use that would make even the most ardent defender cringe, they have a history of pushing its limits, particularly in portal/app design. Lately, they've toned down the worst of their stylistic excesses, and done some really nice work (unfortunately, it didn't carry over to their site redesign).

Think Swedish gets a little self-serving at times, but hey - it's their blog. Good for them. I'm not sure why they decided to build the whole damn thing in Flash (given that a blog is one of those things I need my right-click functionality for), but their media players are great.

Labs.bigspaceship.com is another great blog by a great agency. It's pretty much strictly code, but it's always relevent and interesting, even when the code or concept is over my head (fairly simple, since I'm not really a developer).

TheSerif.net is my favorite design blog. It's more focused than most, and has a higher level of quality. I like Design Observer and Subtraction as much as the next guy, but The Serif rocks for 'pretty pictures.'
