CreativeEdge - here's another one of these click-free interfaces from last year's winners. everything stays right there on the screen, where you put your cursor comes into focus. i think it could be improved by changing the cursor, giving a visual cue, but maybe that would be too much.
miniml - i am, as you may have guessed, an advocate of larger fonts. i simply spend to many hours of the day glued to a monitor deal with reading text that makes me squint, even a little. that said, there's something i really like about this miniml site. i think it's how you only see what you want to see, the content, but the navigation isn't so hidden that you have to click on anything to get to it.
FlashOS - this one's totally sick. a mock operating system in flash. well, more of an slicker interface building on concepts already used by mac and win, doesn't actually perform OS functions beyond the GUI. impressive nonetheless.
when not working on my flash project this weekend i've been browsing the flashforword2002 finalists. some pretty crazy stuff. here's one that navigates without clicking:

the mouse-over navigation is refreshing, even if the color scheme isn't. not too much practical use, as most people are remarkably un-coordinated. wait, was that condescending? oops. >:-}=

I really should enter something into the The 5K : 2002 contest this year. Probably in the html/css category, though DHTML and now Flash are not out of the realm of possibility, just more time consuming. But April and May may prove to be difficult months for a side project like this, what with other side projects like Zybio.net, an XML powered Flash site.
