I would go with Mr. Aryas website at the above URL. I like this one best for a few
reasons:
a) Light. Continueing with the theme behind Black Box, this website is light and fast.
b) Information correctly placed. While some do not l

Picking up on some recent comments:
I prefer light text on a dark background *if* the values are really
light and dark and the colors contrast well. Jan Schaumann's "wheat"
foregroung is good on something like "darkslategrey." I use it myself.
But, of course, the user's browser is going to interp

notice the big companies always use light bg with dark text in their apps,
prints, sites, etc. Some of this is to mimic the feel of paper, but there is
also some UI history and research there.

Yeah, white background sucks ass. ;-)
How 'bout a black background and grey font ()? I kinda like that. And we could expand the
