Where does it say - that all digital media sites have to have that light grey, acqua kind of sparsness to them?

Why is it that all digital media sites - strip away any sembleance of interface - for that anti-designy kind of look - so popularized by blogging?

I dream of the day when we can shed our dial-up mentality in favor of photos, video and music.

O'Reilly's Digital media site looks coolio.

Hopefully they'll support all sorts of new kinds of micro-content standards.
