trying out a new look

If you’ve followed my blog, or seen my posts on Twitter or Facebook, then you know that I am a huge fan of minimal design. I am a firm believer in less is more, particularly when it comes to publishing. There’s nothing that will make me skip over a magazine or website faster than when it’s cluttered.

To that end, I am constantly fiddling in the background with my blog theme. I keep looking for a clean, minimal theme. There are a few themes that I have loaded, but have not yet figured out how to format them properly for viewing. I gave Press 75′s theme, Seven Five, a try, but some of the features (seamless integration of my blog posts, same screen image viewing, last.fm music list) weren’t working properly.

Until I figure out those issues, or stumble upon another theme I like, I have switched from the Voidy theme…

…to the one you see now.

As always, I am interested in, and appreciate, your feedback. What do you think? Thumbs up or down?

37signals new digs

I am a huge fan of modern, minimalist design. You’re bound to find a copy or two of Dwell magazine on my nightstand or tucked into the magazine pockets in my car. Add to that, I am also a huge fan of people at software company 37signals. I’ve been spying the planning and develop of 37signals’ new office space. Recently, the company posted a tour of the office on its blog. I was impressed with the clean design, use of quality materials, and overall thinking given to function as well as form.

What do you think about this design? Is it interesting and creative or sterile and cold?

To learn more about what makes the people at 37signals tick, check out the company’s blog. You can also find more here on my blog. Just search for 37signals in the sidebar search tool over there. —–>
