Technology and design in plain language.

Well, this stew has been simmering for several months now, and it's exciting to see things taking shape as this Style Contest becomes a reality.

What's this? *designers poke heads from cubbies like prarie dogs* A Style Contest? Oh yes, I should have said. Many months ago, Arvind and Elise approached me with the brilliant-yet-obvious idea to fill a great need in the MT community--style. Don't get me wrong, there's a great deal of talent in the MT community, but it's never really been brought together in one place, and that bugged us. So with the hard work of a few volunteers and the gracious help of 6A, things are on the move.

What I can say at this point is: designers, start familiarizing yourselves with the default templates. There are going to be some serious prizes handed out for designs in several different categories (everything from technology to crafts). And we're not talking the $50 gift certificates that the other style competition hands out.

You'll all know more in a few weeks. Until then, start your engines!
