#2This Museo thing has to stop. It's cute, it looks real friendly in titles, but dear god, do not typeset an article in it.
Re: Minimalism: It Works
#3I was wondering when an article like this was going to show up on the HN front page.
The follow-up article gets it right. Minimalism is at its core a "process of prioritizing your life and working towards concrete goals without giving in to distraction", NOT just blindly getting rid of stuff. It is immersion, but only in one thing at a time. It is about reducing your tendancy to over-extend yourself, and focusing on the things you really need, both intellectually and physically.
Can we all just admit that the original article, http://vivekhaldar.tumblr.com/post/2525332092/minimalism-is-... , was just link-bait intended to elicit a response and/or rise from the HN community? The original article contains so little method to it's analysis and represents such a fundamental misunderstanding of minimalism that it bears little water intellectually. Not to be rude, but I'm surprised it made it to the front page.

It looks fine on Mac and Linux. If you are using Windows, keep in mind that entire site is subtly tuned to irritate IE users.

It looks beautiful to me, and I'm reading it on a thin client VNC session to an old Debian-stable login server that makes half the web look broken.

yes, it renders and looks fine but museo it's not the best choice for big blocks of text. Comics sans also renders great and you wouldn't use it here, right?

It's awful in Linux.
I've had Museo 500 as my body font since the day it was licensed for webfont use. This is my first complaint about it.
