gordian knot

Gordian Knot is a publication that features the eccentric intellectualism of University of Chicago students. The writings, images, ideas, problems, and puzzles that have repeatedly
defined and redefined the goals and ideals of the magazine (and now, blog!) over the past four years come from those who embrace the challenges of the world –- large and
small -– with beautiful innovation. The godian knot blog will share posts about revolutionary ideas, creativity, technology, and communities that express inspirational innovation.
All submissions and suggestions are welcome.

I’d say, watch the video and keep an ear out for mention of ‘grassroots’ and some Google advertising and formal techniques too.  This project seems to have worthy backers.

Anyway, it’s neat looking and definitely a point goes to form over function.
