Congratulations on finding a five letter .com domain name that was available.

I'm pretty sure I've seen plenty of 5 letter .com domain names available using nxdom.com (started by someone here at HN). Especially ones that aren't easily pronounceable such as TPUTH.

I'd check to verify, but nxdom is blocked by my employer now because of the GAE hosting, I think.

This seems to be from the guys over at http://informationarchitects.jp/ - which explains the heavily typographic layout.

I actually think it would be fantastic as a daily email round.

quick impression: it's taking most popular stories from (social news sites like this?) and then creating a frontpage of them with... editing?

I trust the crowd but want to edit them...

It is Drudge Report for geeks http://www.drudgereport.com/

Those "headlines with attitude" are going to get old really fast.

yeah, size matters ;)

because font size is the only original thing for me in this project

The font and its size make the headlines extremely hard to read.

TPUTX?

They imitate ТРУД in cyrillic, meaning "labor". It looks like a newspaper of the ruling communist party in some Eastern European country.

Who is the fourth guy after Eric/Bill/Steve?

Jesus Quintana.

The official newspaper of the Communist rule of Soviet was called Pravda. Pravda is russian for "Truth". I think this is what they are joking with.

Don't mess with The Jesus!

It's from Big Lebowski :) Great movie if you haven't seen it.
