I wonder when designers will quit it with the "minimalistic interfaces are better (because I read it on a blog)" trend.

Are you a remote-worker as well? My concern would be that my company in NYC would decide to let me go remote, then change its mind due later about telecommuting and it would put me in a rough spot.

This is somewhat of a tangent, but how is the tech scene in Portland, ME? It's my hometown and I've had thoughts at various times about returning and setting up shop.

Okay, so let's say that the UN didn't go in to help. What would be the response then? Outrage from Haitians that the UN didn't come to their aid? Why not the outrage at their own government for not being able to handle a na
