Chicago White Sox World Championship Ring

The White Sox organization is giving out 432 championship rings, and I still haven’t received a phone call. I hope to update this post soon.

NY Times.com gets a makeover

April 3rd, 2006

NYTimes.com went live with its new redesign Sunday. It’s a fantastic redesign and a testament to what coding with web standards and CSS can accomplish. I particluarly like the “below the fold” section that lists the major articles for all of the sections of paper. The previous design was solid, one of the few newspaper websites that actually look like a newspaper. And while there is more content on each page of the new design, it is easier to read, and easier to navigate. Did I mention that it’s fast? It’s very fast.

The print stylesheet is a little dull. No photos from the article are included on the print page, but I suspect that it will get a treatment before too long.

Look for other newspapers to follow suit, both in design and coding with standards.
