Yup.

It seems like the most recent trend in web design is to figure out exactly what you want to say, find an excellent photo of who you’re talking about and otherwise shut the fuck up.

I like this trend. I hope it continues.

“For each unique visitor it receives, Temporary.cc deletes part of itself. These deletions change the way browsers understand the website’s code and create a unique (de)generative piece after each new user. Because each unique visit produces a new composition through self-destruction, Temporary.cc can never be truly indexed, as any subsequent act of viewing could irreparably modifiy it.

Eventually, like tangible media, Temporary.cc will fall apart entirely, becoming a blank white website. Its existence will be remembered only by those who saw or heard about it.”

Zach Gage, on his project, the self-deleting website Temporary.cc.  Via today and tomorrow.

I love it.
