I just learned about Singularity, an online web developer's conference schedule for October. Not to be confused with the Singularity, our potential post-human future.
This conference will feature many renowned speakers, such as Tim O'Reilly and developers from CERN, Yahoo, EA, Linden Lab (SL), and other influential organizations.
A quick search on the site for Drupal doesn't show anything. With its focus on a vision of the future of the Web, I think it's important that Drupal be represented there. Any chance we could get Dries to offer to speak? If not him, who else would be a good candidate? Robert Douglass? One of the Lullabots?
Or maybe we could swarm the conference. Drupal is, after all, the future of the Web...
jmburnz and others are working on a CSS conversion of the Pixture theme. Here's the project page:

As I've made the other screenshots, might as well include Rob's. (Not as an oversight, I read his blog as well. Just that I had left out Garland until these comments.) Garland FTW!
Hate's a strong word, though I prefer CSS. But that site is another great example, thanks for the link!
Here's a screenshot to that site, that definitely qualifies as minimalist, being only a single column:
Thanks Wim, a good reminder of yet another reason I chose Drupal over Mambo/Joomla all those years ago: Drupal is minimalist at heart, so we can adopt a procedure of adding on rather than stripping down.
