Slashdot Mirror


Slashdot's Vastu

nanopolitan writes "Wired has a story on harmonious website design according to Vastu, 'the Indian counterpart of feng shui'. The graphic accompanying the story has an analysis of Slashdot's design by Dr. Smita Narang. Her verdict? This site is 'in desperate need of balance'." From the article: "Thirty-year-old Smita Narang is rapidly becoming one of India's hottest Web designers. Her method: applying vastu shastra, the Indian counterpart of feng shui, to the online realm. The process entails mapping page attributes - HTML, colors, graphics - to elements like fire, water, and air. 'Any disturbance of these established elements can cause an imbalance in the site that directly affects its business,' Narang says."

    Slashdot's design was by some "doctor" that used feng shui in the design? Who's bright idea was that? Taco been hitting the wacky weed again?

    You do all realize that feng shui is just a bunch of bullshit don't you? Sure, it's fun to talk about stuff like that and pretend...as long as you know that it's really just bullshit and don't try to rip people off.

    Slashdot, you got taken for a ride my friend. But that's ok! I have some snake-oil here that can CURE you so you don't make that mistake again!

    Bah...I still love ya.
