A boon to mankind.

BOOOOOOOM!, at www.booooooo.com, has the classic blog format: wide column on the left, narrower column down the right containing information, links and things like how to subscribe. This is a cornucopia blog so you can mix and match the contents of your feed from design, art, film, music, photography, projects and trash. The latter stands, I think, for miscellaneous. And there's a search engine. For this kind of blog that's all that's needed and thus approaches Don't Make Me Think perfection. It's the work of Vancouver designer Jeff Hamada and if it suffers the standard blog problems of too-little editing and a tad too much folksiness, at least the latter is a blog hallmark and is something you can take or leave especially when the whole collection is one which you hug yourself with pleasure. OK maybe too much lunch speaking there.
