This is really something. For this first time since I started reading it back in 1999 or so, slashdot has changed the look of the site.
This was really disorienting. It’s like seeing another face on Mt. Rushmore. There are some things that you just don’t expect to change.
My Music
Do you like electronic music? Do you like free stuff? Are you okay with amateur music from someone who's learning? Yes? Because that's what this is.
The No Politics Rule
Here are 6 reasons why I forbid political discussions on this site. #4 will amaze you. Or not.
Pixel City Dev Blog
An attempt to make a good looking cityscape with nothing but simple tricks and a few rectangles of light.
Joker's Last Laugh
Did you anticipate the big plot twist of Batman: Arkham City? Here's all the ways the game hid that secret from you while also rubbing your nose in it.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
Maybe it’s not as shocking, but AnimeNewsNetwork just changed their art and color scheme too. Ewwwww. Where’s the cute elfie chick? Who needs all these Naruto clones? And that’s a very… agressive color scheme, guys.
It’s SlashDot XP!
I saw the preview last week, so I knew it was coming. Very pretty, but seems a little distracting. I’ll probably get used to it quickly enough.
I like it – it still has all the classic /. design cues but just looks more professional somehow. Viva la CSS!
It’s a good thing I stopped reading Slashdot two or three years ago. At that time they started reporting things two or three days later than LWN. Never looked back, so I’m happily ignorant about the new layout.
The new ANN looks good, though of course I’d prefer original characters. Using Naruto characters is asking for legal trouble, unless they reached an agreement with ViZ. In that case, good for them!
Gad; the new ANN color scheme is dreadful.

It looks like they were going for a “flames” motif and somehow ended up with “Ketchup & Mustard”.
