While the big text and focus on content is great, I really think the two-column layout is a disservice to usability on the web. I get to the bottom of the page and am forced to scroll back an arbitrary amount 'til I find the header of the article and start over on the second column. Looks ok, but isn't that thought-through to me.
Some interesting design choices to be sure though. I honestly think what Dustin Curtis does with his site (http://dustincurtis.com http://dustincurtis.com) is a better testament to how to write and display articles on the web, though his site doesn't claim to be a "web magazine" (whatever that means).
A List Apart used to do it well too, but I find their articles quite stale nowadays.
