Sometimes I'll see a site that is almost unreadable. Nice post.

I love sites that are black and white, and for some reason it helps me focus on the structure of the page alot more.

That's the KISS thing, isn't it? You're so right about that. I mean, look at Technorati. If I'm not mistaken, they've redesigned yet again. And they just can't seem to get it right. As a non-designer I do think I have a bit of an eye for these things and it bugs me when some site just doesn't seem to function – visually – like it should. As for the examples you linked to, it strikes me – on a first quick glance – how black & white seems to be coming back. Big bright whites and even some serif headings, not unlike the way it all began – with newspapers. I thought that funny. Maybe it's the first signs of a new visual style for the web?
