As a procrastinator – and a perfectionist – I enjoyed reading that article. However, I lack the imagination to properly contemplate things in their idealised pre-actualised state – so I can’t justify my procrastination on philosophical grounds. As is the custom on Hacker News, I thought I’d comment on the design of the page. This is the first article I’ve read from the mobile version of the New York Times website – and I love it. Firstly, it works really well with my 9 year old laptop (running Lubuntu with Firefox and NoScript). It’s so elegant in its simplicity and lack of clutter. The typography is beautiful and refined (with proper em-dashes and typographic quotes). The width of the column of text is ideal for reading. The links are underlined blue. Jakob Nielsen would approve.
