I must have done an OS reinstall since you were posting before because your redesign never popped up in my RSS reader... fixed now so I'll keep an eye out. Yes 90% thought and 10% implementation... that's good design. :) Looking forward to it.

The actual implementation didn't take long at all. but i did spend a great deal thinking about the structure, the feeling i want to capture, the type of articles I'd like to write etc. that process started last December. Hopefully I'll be blogging more frequently now. Thank you for the kind words. Steven, I just launched the redesign this past weekend.

You're very talented (understatement). Its just very beautiful and I like the subtle warm tones with the excellent typography (something that I'm rubbish at myself but I've been know to try)... Very nice indeed. I happen to absolutely love your redesign, by the way. You’re very talented (understatement).

The 50% design weighting sounds healthy... it allows for you to feed personal interest and I really think it prevents burn-out. I have almost stopped reading web design technical articles, for example, because so much of it was just a reflux of the last person's post somewhere and I was rereading this stuff over and over - mainly opinions. But now I am quite focused on management as well... although I really enjoy reading about design I'm not much of a designer - Photoshop is like a sandpit made out of sticky dots for me. I've been a little too busy to get much photography done in the last year, too. Yeh I'd love to see a list of your recommended list, its hard to keep it down but there are probably a core group that you go back to over and over. I look forward to reading it. :) BTW how long ago did you redesign? Hey Jin, I’ve been back to 8164.org every now and then but just figured you had gotten really busy.

I'm often amazed at some people I meet, that not only they're the experts of their own fields, but they can just talk about any subject matter intelligently. I used to read design only blogs, but these days, design blogs make up about 50% of the total. Maybe i need to write a link sharing post. anyways, hope you're doing well. Steven, been a while :)
