I’m working my way back trough your posts after discovering the site a few days ago in regards to responsive design. I’m reading on an iPhone (at work) and responsive design really shines in this department. No more zooming in and out! The only thing I think you should consider adding to the mobile @media is a previous/next button to the end of articles. On mobile even short posts require a lot of scrolling and having to scroll all the way up to the top after reading a post to get to the next post isn’t ideal. It’s the only real hiccup and minor but I thought I’d give my two cents. Great articles though, every one so far has given me food for thought.

Truly Inspiring. Right up there with Jason Santa Maria’s site.

@Kenny: You aren't kidding... Out of curiosity, do you have XP / clear type turned on? Thanks for taking the time to bring this to my attention.

Got here from a friend’s link. FYI, the typeface renders horribly on my screen. I’m on PC/FF3. Here’s a screenshot: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/87fbwSdDblHDuKDFsEGasg?feat=directlink

@Aaron: Thanks for noticing! Not too much trouble. Overall, I found pulling out all those chunks of excess code to be pretty cathartic.

I think what most impresses me about this new design is the way you adapted the different look of each post to the new layout, and still have all of them look great. Was that much trouble?

Great! Link transitions work even in Firefox (Mozilla Preview). Great design, also. All this white space between elements looks really nice and comfortable for the eye.
