Sometimes it’s the simple ideas that work best, and that’s the case with this Human Calendar service. No clever web tricks, or fancy graphics…just a bunch of people who clearly took the time and trouble to sit down for multiple poses in order to serve us today’s date in an innovative and interesting way.

I particularly like the way the site has a sort of live action feel, with the gifs animatedly twitching as though to mark the passage of time. It’s stirring, poetic stuff. Oh yes it is.
