Why don't you arrange the site so it spawns a new web browser page instead of what it does now?
I don't really like having to keep hitting the back button to get back to your home page. Also, if you spawned a new page, I could open multiple links simultaneously and be loading the next item while I'm looking at the previous item.
Anonymous - thank you for this input... Opening links in new window is usually the user's choice, not designer's choice. You can set up your browser to do it automatically, or try tabbed browsing.
Anonymous, download Mozilla Firefox and press Ctrl in the same time you click: the link will be open in a new tab. Probably also ie7 does the same thing, dunno. Definitely in ie if you right-click you can select 'open in a new tab'. Hassle free, then you have just to close the tabs once explored the links
Even faster method: in IE7 and firefox, just click with your scrollwheel on the links. They'll open in tabs on the background, so all links open while you still browse DRB for links that interest you. afterwards i usually just close drb and enjoy the show :-)
It would be nice if there was a mobile friendly version of this site as I use my iPhone a lot to surf and browse.
Julie C - sounds like a good idea for the future. I can open DRB right now in my iPhone browser, though - in the meantime.
You do not have anything on the gyrobus:

http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/index.html
Building spaceships and other interesting scifi technicalities, some nice retro art too.
Sorry if its allready been featured, but I couldn't find any references to it on your site.
But it seems like something that would be linked on DRB.
please please please add a mobile iPhone app for your site! I love to browse it at starbucks but it's so hard to navigate on a mobile device!!!!
There are a lot of cool things here, but after looking around, I get the feeling it's yet another boys club... girls welcome as diversions and eye candy only. No women need apply.
You might find some things interesting in "art" or "travel" categories, Mimi. Have a look around.
