Brand New ThinkBrilliant.com

The Homepage: Lightweight, usable and clean. It gets straight to the point. No bullshit.

The news page (or “blog”) section of the app is a bit different. We went with a clean, focused grid view and nice tactile hovers for each entry. Thumbnails draw the user into viewing more content and provide a large clickable range to get drawn into a loop.

Partners Page: Showcasing our favorite companies, partners and why we work with them and use their products.

The team: Clean photos of everyone, some information about each person, and an open call for those that think they’re talented enough to join our team, to get in touch with us.

The world is obsessed with technology. Recycling? Not so much.

(CBS) 60 Minutes is going to take you to one of the most toxic places on Earth – a place government officials and gangsters don’t want you to see. It’s a town in China where you can’t breathe the air or drink the water, a town where the blood of the children is laced with lead.

It’s worth risking a visit because much of the poison is coming out of the homes, schools and offices of America. This is a story about recycling – about how your best intentions to be green can be channeled into an underground sewer that flows from the United States and into the wasteland.
