It's based on a design by Doug Bowman called Minima Black, originally for Blogger. I took the basic design/layout, and mapped it into WordPress terms, tweaked the styles a bunch to get it close (it's STILL not perfect, never will be, the guy's a genius!), and just did the remaining work on writing up the template changes, and making the calendar look halfway-decent. New for WP2 are fixes for the comment form and built-in CG-Amazon styling support to match the dark look.
Rusty Brick gives us an arguement on why Ugly Sites Earn More With Google AdSense. Basically he says that "people land on the site, and immediately want to click off.

[Jay Allen] had a chance to gab this week with the show's creators, Mark McCorkle and Robert Schooley, whom I caught up with after they had just attended a recording session for Season 4.

Kim: Ron, so you're the peeping tom?!?!?

Last month, the Motion Picture Association of America announced one of its boldest sorties yet against online piracy: a barrage of seven federal lawsuits against some of the highest-profile BitTorrent sites, Usenet hosts and peer-to-peer services. Among the targets: isoHunt, TorrentSpy and eDonkey.But, as always, one prominent site is missing from the movie industry's announcement (.pdf), and it happens to be the simplest and best-known source of traded movies -- along with pirated video games, music, software, audio books, television broadcasts and nearly any other form of media imaginable. The site is called The Pirate Bay, and it's operated by a crew of intrepid Swedes who revel in tormenting the content industries.
