Breakfast Epiphanies – Bristol Web Types At Breakfast

Why Brizzle?

Because Bristol has an amazing web and media community which is as friendly as it is large. I hope that in some small way this site can help connect members of the community, as well as providing awareness for Brizzle's web-type-people.

Everyone here (represented above by their favourite 'breakfast time' item) is based in or around the Bristol area & has given their permission to be listed.

Rollover the breakfast items and all will be revealed. You can click the item to view that persons site.

About Breakfast Epiphanies

Originally this site started out as an experiment for the implementation of microformats (specifically vCard), POSH and CSS3 in xHTML. At about the same time I became really impressed (and somewhat involved) with the amazing web scene that's occurring in & around Bristol. Everyone I've met so far has been lovely, endearing and incredibly helpful so I thought this might be a good place to connect all that 'good vibe' in one place, and in a fun way.

It's not for IE

Breakfast Epiphanies was designed for Safari 3.2.1+ specifically as it is the only browser at the moment to implement all of the css techniques used on this site. It does however display reasonably well in Firefox 3.0.5+. I haven't tested it in Internet Explorer nor do I intend too just yet as it wasn't designed with it in mind. That said it should work on some level.

The site is semi-fluid, built on a grid and validates but at the moment is written mostly in pixels over em's. This will be changing in the coming weeks.

What's with the name?

Breakfast time is when I nurse a cup of coffee, read my favourite blogs & first check twitter. It's also usually the time of day I get fresh ideas and they often come from people who inspire me. It's that 'web of inspiration' that I want to share here.

Who's welcome?

If you're involved with New Media (are we still using that phrase?) in the Bristol area then I'd love to hear from you. Whether you're a traditional graphic designer, developer, web designer, UX person, video artist or animator, you're very welcome here

Your name
Your company or if you're freelance
Your URL
Your favourite 'breakfast time' item

*Why I prefer twitter? Because (A) it's a great tool for communication, (B) I can see your details, hence you're probably not a spammer, (C) I can get your information faster & (D) I'm a designer not a developer so I suck at making sign-up forms :)
