a brilliant example of text only typography

it's tough to find a good example of "text only" typography on the web. most designers eventually throw in the towel and use images... so you can imagine my excitement when i saw the site for Seed Conference 2008.

like cameron moll, i was a bit disappointed when i looked under the hood—check out the source to see what i mean.

since i like playing on the internet more than i like sleep, i decided to give it a shot. could i build this site using markup more fitting this decade than the last? i think i did a decent job :)

note: since i did want to get *some* sleep tonight, i decided not to fight with any of the windows browser or font issues. this will look good in just about any browser on a mac (it's pixel-for-pixel identical in firefox on my mac!)

it's also decent in firefox/opera/safari on a pc. internet explorer, however, starts to fall apart a bit. if that's the only browser you have, you should get a better browser. and i take consolation in the fact that the original site breaks down in IE as well...
