Sounds very interesting, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.
I'm most curious about how you're going to handle these different views. Are you going to store a cookie on the users computer that sets their default view?

I personally don't mind wide designs as I always browse full screen (and I run dual monitors so that's not a problem). I doubt the people who read this blog have a standard resolution of 800x600, but you'd know better than I.
If you're going to go wide, maybe stick with two columns, but have a kind of pseudo three column effect further down the page. Let me see if I can demonstrate:
________________
| HEADER |
| C1 | Content |
|____| |
|2|3 | |
| | | |
| | | |
|_|__|_________|
|__FOOTER______|
So if that comes out totally screwed up, I claim no responsibility. However, I like the two columsn split into three look.
Maybe in that upper part you could highlight "best posts" or something like that, whereas you would use the ones farther down for advertising or something else. You may totally dismiss this idea, but you asked for suggestions, so there's mine.

Congratulations Aaron! I've been a reader for a while, and was wondering if you were ever going to join those guys at b5. Glad to hear of your programming change.

in Weekend DVD Round Up on Technosailor
Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a pretty sweet movie for what it was. I liked the action and appreciated the "on-screen chemistry" that Pitt and Jolie showed.
In an odd turn of events, I think my girlfriend likes Angelina Jolie more than I do...

in Schick Quattro: Best Razor Ever? — Elliott C. Back on Elliott Back's Blog
I hate the Quattro. I'll stick with my Mach III. I find that the Quattro gets gunked up with hair too easily if your facial hair is coarse. Then, it's impossible to clean. The Mach III is easy to clean and more than adequate.

I only came up with 195, but I guess that's because we're not all as prolific as you. Luckily I have a pretty unique name so they were almost all about me. Google Nick Ohrn.

Be happy, you shared a piece of someone's life with them. It may be an insignificant piece to you, but it was something interesting to her. It's great that you could have that experience.

in The Da Vinci Code on Technosailor
Jesse, I have to speak up here and say that you're wrong on a couple of things.
First, the Church did choose which books to put in the Bible and which to take out. They did this based on what was considered truth and what was heresy and it was a necessity of the editing of the book.
Second, the Bible was not written in Hebrew. Parts of it were written in Aramaic but most of it was written in Greek. In many cases, but not all, the Greek was translated to Latin, which was then translated to English.
Third, there is consensus that most of the books of the new testament were written within 2-3 generations after Jesus's death, not 2-3 years. That being said, the books included in the Bible are more relaible than the Gnostic gospels of Judas and Thomas.
I'm not trying to shut you down, but you need to get your facts on target so you can better defend the Church. I am a member of the faith and a devout Catholic myself, but you have to acknowledge the truth before you can defend the spiritual.
