davidd has Sep 04, 2010 04:05AM not yet read "The Minimalist Style Guide," but I'm assured, by the author herself, that it's "great writing." I'm downloading it now.
davidd has Sep 04, 2010 04:06AM seen a number of appearances of the "minimalist" concept over the past several years. I was just reading some guy's minimalist blog a few...

davidd shares Sep 04, 2010 04:18AM an interesting blog post from one of Nina Yau's lifestyle blogging buddies.
davidd thinks Sep 04, 2010 04:21AM it must be nice to be blessed in life with the confidence, looks, money, or luck to pull off the FIGJAM attitude.

davidd thinks Sep 04, 2010 09:39PM it's amusing how much traffic dblume has directed to Castles in the Air.
davidd likes Sep 04, 2010 09:40PM seeing "long form blogging" is alive and well among the "minimalism" crowd. You'd think the minimalists would be content with Twitter.
