Finished Theme

Posted on November 28, 2005 in WordPress by Jeff Starr

The “Finished” skin is actually an old b2evolution blog skin that I really enjoyed creating. The original markup was hideous, and the CSS was just a mess. But that was then and this is now. Completely rewritten with structural markup and presentational CSS, “Finished” won’t feel so abandoned and alone anymore.

Entropy Theme

Posted on November 28, 2005 in WordPress by Jeff Starr

Entropic Delightz! — The disproportionate inverse of Monzilla’s recently released DOS_FX theme. As with the DOS_FX theme, Entropy is bandwidth-friendly, color-safe, structurally sound, and XHTML strict. Very minimalistic and casual…

DOS_FX Theme

Posted on November 27, 2005 in WordPress by Jeff Starr

It’s pure DOS, Baby! — Behold, locked in a laboratory clean-room for hours with only archaic operating systems at hand, I found myself amazed by the uncompromising utility of a Windows DOS console. After a few traceroutes I found myself barfing up the illest CSS on the earth — moments later, DOS_FX was born…

This skin is ultra-lightweight, color-safe, image-friendly, and XHTML strict. Other than that, it’s so cool because it reminds us that DOS is really very special.

Bananaz Theme

Posted on November 21, 2005 in WordPress by Jeff Starr

Perishable Press serves ‘em Bananaz with this release of the Bananaz theme for WordPress. Highly customizable, this unique two-column hybrid design merges fixed-width content with a liquid header and footer. Also, the Bananaz theme employs structural HTML markup and the miracle of CSS to function consistently across browsers while validating as XHTML strict. Plus, Bananaz is configured to support several popular WordPress functions and plugins (see install notes for complete details).

!UPDATE: Bananaz 2.0 now available! Bananaz 2.0 features consolidated and enhanced CSS & XHTML because I just can’t get enough of that good-old, down-home markup-presentation dichotomy. The new version not only features cleaner code, it boasts several subtle graphical & design improvements as well.

Dead Letter Art

Posted on November 7, 2005 in Print Media by Jeff Starr

Dead Letter Art represents the creative exploits of several Northwest chillers. Their collective history is rich and reaches back almost two decades. For several years during the turn of the millennium, the DLa artists collaborated and published over twenty issues of their infamous zine, Dead Letter Art. Somehow, time has once again brought great distance between the members of DLa, and only time will tell if Dead Letter Art will truly rest in peace.

Nonetheless, it is interesting to ponder the current happenings related to those once involved with DLa. So, in the interest of future business, here are some current DLa statistics:

  • DLa Status: Unconscious
  • DLa Issue: Halloween Issue, 2005
  • DLa Website: Last update: November 6th, 2004
  • DLa Project: Website redesign (Spring 2006)

DLa Member News:

  • PrimeCut Domains — Selling and hosting domains doesn’t require a separate site.
  • Coffee Talk Forum — A great lil’ site that suffered from a serious lack of interest.
  • ArtBoots & ArtBootz — What was I thinking? These were definitely not needed.
  • zone000three.com — A project for which I would have never found the time.
