The recent CSS Reboot produced a lot of action in our submissions box, but I would have to say that Matt Brett's site was the most polished and well constructed out of all of them. He continues the dark/grunge revival that's being supported by this latest batch of awardees, but he's hotted it up with the latest hip fluorescents.
Probably one of the most intriguing features of his site is the hover states on all the various content areas. They provide a good bit of focus for your cursor, particularly against the dark background. Another highlight is the way he's jigsawed all his interests into the layout -- flickr, blog entries, comments, currently-listening-to, video games, etc. Very tight.

Now here's a worthy entry. I love the layout and colour scheme here. It conforms to most standards ... just need to add the "lang" attribute to your tag, and rename your "Call of Duty 2" links so they're unique, and you'd have the WAI-AAA as well.
Nice site Matt, well done.

Excellent site. I do like the hover effect because it's subtle. Too bad it doesn't have some JavaScript to make it work in IE. Also, the site could use some link focus. That'd make it more accessible and very easy to implement. Good job and congratz.

It is kind of unusual with good looking websites with black background but this is really something. The trashy feeling combined with the colored headers really makes this site look awsome. Both thumbs up!
