Koenigsegg CCX + Non-Blog Templates


Koenigsegg CCX yeah

The Koenigsegg CCX is The Car. Destroys Modded' Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsche, any US GT. Jeff Jarvis is spot on in that not all posts were created equal, and a 'post' isn't what's always needed, and so on. There are millions of variations needed on the theme. The Jarvis Buzzmachine is on the money again : "The problem isn’t the tools, it’s the templates. Blogging tools are merely content management systems without the million-dollar consultants and bills; that’s what I’m telling newspaper folks who complain that it’s hard to put content online. Templates let you format or unformat your stuff however you like and also include stuff of any medium. I’d love to see more clever examples of templates." Thankfully structured blogging, microformats, open source plug-ins, and customisable XHTML/CSS means there is lots of potential for innovation. (Jedi Mind Trick : "You are feeling very sleepy and need to hire a non-blog template million dollar consultant, and provide a Koenigsegg CCX company car.")
