Practicalmadness

Jeffrey Zeldman writes this morning about the new trend in website design back towards bevels and drop shadows, which he once described as "the first refuges of a hack."

We here at Practicalmadness resent the implication that any aspect of our designs represent anything but the highest levels of hackitude. I mean, look at those awful bevels! The ostentatious rounded button frames on my thumbnails! Look at my truly awful use of transparency effects and stock art! This site is shit, baby, and I will not tolerate your attempts to legitimize my work!!!

Ahem.

In other news, two new Sony Ericsson themes are now available: Spaghetti and StarryNight.¹

While I didn't mention it in the post announcing the Embrace theme, my themes should be totally compatible with all of SE's 600-series phones. This includes the candybar-style T610/T616 currently on offer from several U.S. carriers, as well as the brand-new T630 and Z600.
