Not Even Trying

For any blogger, the most precious commodity is "whitespace", the blank page waiting for text and images. The challenge is balancing aesthetics against the natural desire to use the space as completely as possible, particularly the "above the fold" first page. The image here is a snapshot of Pajamas Media taken this morning, Friday Dec 9th, 2005. It's not like there aren't a few things happening in the world. And yet, here it is, on the front page of the multi-million dollar funded Pajamas Media, acres of... nothing. Guess Chuckles and The Hat are phoning it in while cashing huge checks. Wonder what their investors are thinking?
