Airbag
One of the better commentary sites I’ve seen in recent days: Airbag. Why? Plenty of white space, content is blocked off into manageable chunks, and typography is expertly managed.

A terabyte for $300!
Ok, here’s the scoop… Office Depot is selling the Maxtor 200 gig (with warranty) hard drive for only $99. It just so happens that Staples also carries the same drive for $129, except they will meet any competitor’s price by %110. Which means that if you go to staples and tell them that Office Depot…

Why do designers go ga-ga over text that is so miniscule and hard-to-read? The verdana font on this site is appalling on the eyes, esp. for web users over the age of 40 who typically have presbyopia.
You’ll notice that we recently made our font larger on BrainFuel. That’s because I couldn’t hardly read it without squinting. I agree about Airbag – the font is a bit small and maybe that’s why I didn’t add it to my daily reading. I’ll say this though, the design is nice and if they tweaked the size up a bit they might increase their readership.
