New Position Is Everything layout; blogging as reporting; Fast Company does CSS
Big John has released another template hosted on his new-ish site, Position Is Everything. The latest layout has three columns, which are all the same height no matter which is the longest. Although I couldn't load it in IE 5.5, it apparently works with IE 5+, Opera, and Gecko-based browsers.
Position Is Everything also has a number of great CSS-related bug demos along with some interesting float layouts.

Saw the first hint of this on a mailing list a while back, but now its official: Fast Company now uses valid XHTML and CSS on its site.

(as an example, look at the cover’s pullquotes it’s all CSS).
If you like the design, you should support it by filling out the survey on the site’s homepage.
Also worth noting, they audience-approriate message shown to browsers like Netscape 4.x:
Fast Company is the magazine for a generation of business leaders with high expectations for their companies -- and even higher expectations for themselves.
