Khoi Vinh Is the New Design Director for NYTimes.com

Fantastic news. I’ve been bitching about the design of The Times’s web site ever since it launched — The Times is one of the best-designed print periodicals in the world, and, I think, the best-designed newspaper, but their web site has always been scattered and rather junky-looking. Vinh is the perfect man for the job. Who’d have thought the brains behind The Onion’s recent web redesign would end up as Design Director for The New York Times?
