“Refresh Dublin is an event that promotes design, technology, usability and standards. It is a part of and inspired by the Refreshing Cities movement. The intent of Refresh Dublin is to provide a cross-discipline insight into all things design, interactive, creative and technical, so that different disciplines can learn from each other.” – RefreshDublin.org

I really like this simple but elegantly designed site copypastecharacter.com (⌘C ⌘V Character) by Martin Ström and Konst & Teknik, a graphic design office based in Stockholm, Sweden, that deals with “art, technology and things in between”.
