Might go against the grain here but I actually quite like the website, as minimal as the new one is. I don't want to oversell it, since it's not really super "out there", but the author put some nice humanist touches there like the hand drawn mouse that lights up when you hover over a link.

Could use some color, but it serves its purpose and I don't find it sacrifices readability as much as some others in this thread are claiming.
