    Rounded Corners – 91

    Stop the press. Microformats make it to InformationWeek, with a mention of hListing. Exciting times! (Thanks John)

    Unintended consequences. LinkedIn, the social network I love to ignore, just added a new feature. You can send questions to your network of contacts. I received a couple of questions, both rethorical questions on non-interesting topics, with … you guessed it: a link to a product or announcement. I really, really need more spam in my inbox.

    Apology accepted. Dylan F. Tweney has an interesting prediction for 2007, about the lack of quality from companies that have too many products with too many features: “At least one of these companies will apologize in 2007 for having made a serious product design mistake.”

    Global warming. No doubt about it. Fix at the source. (Thanks Sterling).

    Productivity from limits. Less choice -> more reuse -> higher productivity. Karsten Wagner has an interesting take on productivity.

      Did you change your fonts, Assaf? They look more crisp. Thanks for the linkage.

      I changed the font face and also increased the size, I think it’s more readable that way. A bit more work to be done on the whitespace and it will be perfect! (or just easy to read)

      [...] Assaf pointed me to a simple answer for the global warming problem. V8 moment. [...]

      Definitely easier on the eyes. Lessee…view page source…grab the style sheet…Tahoma with a line-height of 1.5. Interesting.

      The line-height didn’t work out very well, I don’t think the spacing is right. I probably changed the font type, bigger change is removing a line of styling that scaled them down. I’m also making the blacks more black and keep adding more whitespace around.
