Update: Original minusfive WordPress Theme

I just wanted to let you know I’ve made progress preparing the theme for release, and it seems it could be ready sooner than I expected.

I’ve had to make several changes to its functionality because the version I had running on my blog was heavily customized, and I need to make sure it can run on any WordPress install. I have to say though, by doing this cleanup and standardization I have simplified many things that were bugging me before and I’m really liking what I’m seeing! After I’m done with it I might have to switch back to that theme ;)

Anyway, I’ll keep you posted.

Releasing the Original minusfive WordPress Theme

I’m proud to announce I’ve formally started working on preparing the original minusfive WordPress theme for mass release. The theme was inspired by my first visit to MoMA, a place I dreamed of visiting ever since I found my passion for modern design.

There are many things to work out in order to make the theme flexible enough so it can work seamlessly in any WordPress install. I hope to be posting soon about the actual release.

Danny Blackman’s Portfolio

Danny Blackman makes your eyes smoothly fly over samples of his amazing graphical artwork. He makes excellent use of standard XHTML and CSS, coupled with the slick transition effects of the mootools JavaScript library to deliver what I think is one of the best single-page portfolio websites I’ve seen; a great example of simplicity used to achieve an incredibly smooth and beautiful user experience.

New Design, More Posts

So after a long time of silence, minusfive is coming back with a new design and more content. Enjoy.

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?
