Oooh I for one love it! However, you are going to think me an ass, but the red you used to fix the jaggies is not the same color you used in the first place so I fear you'll need to do a bit more touch up on it.

btw sorry for the delay I have been out of the loop for over a week now. I'm just now getting back online after a bit of a bizness trip/vacation.

DO NOT MENTION VACATION!
[whimper]

It's salt on a wound ...

Anyhow, yeah, I noticed that --got the values wrong. I'm soooo glad someone likes it, dude! I've not heard from XIAN or the rest of the gang. I was assuming it was polite silence ... sOoOo, I'll clean it up, but before it goes up, XIAN mentioned something about The Morning News style. What do you think?

I can venture something on that vein --without fascistic undertones :) Meanwhile, I'm gonna write up what I have for now and show it to the readers. Waddya think?

Oh dear I do not know what "The Morning News" style means.

Vacation was sort of tongue in cheek. If getting up before dawn and driving for an hour for 8 hours of java/.jsp training followed by an hour plus drive back to the city to get lost every time and arrive back after the sun goes down is a vacation then by gum I just had a doozy of a vacation!

sorry for the silence. i've just been very busy writing and such. i actually like it very much, though i'd like to see the main body text font bigger and clearer (i like what's at rfb now, but that may not fit) and have some other nitpicks, but overall i'd be happy to see this as the new design.

Can we see it applied to the editorial pages first? This may give us a few days of ironing out the nitpicks before it goes live on the public site.

Burgers and ho's: As promised, I'm going to post my photos from the Scoble-rific burger dinner and drinks event from Saturday night.

An XML format for small-business info feeds: One of the "latest things" that Chris Pirillo was excited about the other night was Dan Bricklin's SMBmeta Initiative.
