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.
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?

Re: Minimalism: It Works
#13I 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…
This in itself has tradeoffs I think; sometimes "distractions" are what lead to unexpected connections and pursuits, which wouldn't have happened if you were working towards concrete, prioritized goals all the time. I know some of the stuff I'm most happy I did started out as stuff I was doing to procrastinate. (It may depend on a given person's personality and intellectual style.)

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.

The article was good, the font was a bit of distraction. Thankfully readability is there to rescue.
FWIW I am on a mac too.

#20This Museo thing has to stop. It's cute, it looks real friendly in titles, but dear god, do not typeset an article in it.
Fonts don't kill designs. Designers kill designs.
