Alternate Universe

Allow me to pose a question: Imagine you have the ability to give the entire Web a makeover. You could change the way it works, the way it looks, how its focused. Would you? And if so, what is the first thing you would do?

Now, don't take the easy way out on this. Don't bother with an individual site for exclusion, or saying who can participate and who cannot. Go deeper. Think about how you might change the way things are laid out on pages, or how the pages interrelate. Or how you might redefine categories and heirarchies.

For example, I have grown tired of the static page approach, all designed around the grid concept, just like in a newspaper or magazine. Even television can't shake this ancient concept. I realize its easy to design on this principal, but come on, folks, admit it.

It's boring.
