No Rest For The Wicked -- an online comic

I haven't read enough of the comic to give an endorsement yet, but thought I'd blog this for the typography, and the interesting sentence structure navigation, something I've experimented with but not yet had success. In this case it comes off as almost a "cloud", which were trendy for like 2 days, but I never really bought as a navigation tool. Just let me sort the damn tags by frequency. Back to the sentence structure nav – I like the concept of integrating the navigation into the contents of the site. I'm starting to have my doubts as to whether people even use navigation (outside applications), since searching is so much more efficient. If it is true that people don't use navigation as much as search, then putting the navigation in with the content might catch a visitor with their brain actually turned on, not just in scan mode. Or it might even catch them scanning, a process during which normal nagivation bars may be ignored. Anyway, Something to be experimented with on personal sites, not professional work.
