Ok, now that I’ve gotten the hysterical hyperbole out of the way, this is what I mean: reading well-designed web sites in an RSS read does nothing to stimulate my creative juices. I realized this today after opening a post from StopDesign in Firefox and going “sooooo beautiful! I should look at Doug’s site more often!” It was then that I realized that reading all my sites in |NetNewsWire|, efficient as it is, is robbing me of the creative kick in the pants I get from browsing and reading gorgeous, beautifully-crafted, web-standards-based websites.

[9:18:18 AM] Steve Ivy: ha!
[9:18:20 AM] Steve Ivy: nicely done
[9:18:46 AM] Kreg Steppe: I love my mac, and this is the closest that I can get to it without having it.
