John Gruber’s Daring Fireball

John Gruber’s Daring Fireball

This is a site I’ve been mean­ing to post for a long time, but, as with many oth­ers, I just didn’t have the time to get around to it when I wanted to, so I kind of for­got. Dar­ing Fire­ball is every­thing a min­i­mal­ist, con­tent cen­tric site should be; per­fect in every sense (at least in my opinion).

Dar­ing Fire­ball has been live since 2002, dis­play­ing John’s insights on the Mac world, stuff from around the web and other technological-geeky stuff. In late April 2006 it became John’s full time job. Kudos to John for pulling this one off! I can only imag­ine what a pain it must’ve been to get to this point of per­fect bal­ance between beauty, sim­plic­ity and con­tent rich­ness (I want to be like you when I grow up! ;).

His logo makes me won­der, is he a com­pul­sive con­verse high-top-chuck-all-star col­lec­tor as I am?

    When I was younger, I was in fact a big fan of Chuck Tay­lors, and with­out ques­tion the “all-star” idea was a big influ­ence on DF’s design. Thanks for the good words.
