The new format is snapping into place and will allow us an extra 100 pixels of width, which may allow your idea of 2 columns. We'll give this a whirl on the next one and see how it goes.

Though I'm not sure you have the width to accomplish that. I can't help but think of construction drawings, and my tendency for text labeling is being slowly tested by numbered coding I've seen that is done well. Being done well is the operative word, obviously. Maybe think of these posts as you would a drawing set and the right solution will come to the fore.

Just one criticism: you've got to get away from this number coding of graphics/pics. Read Tufte's books (which I'm sure you have), you've got to direct label. It makes the reading experience so much better and understandable. No one's going to go back and forth from your huge number list to the pics, and on and on, in an effort to understand all your materials. So the best way to get your content read is to direct label. Even though there seems like too much text in your materials to direct label, it can be done. Guys, love the blog and the aesthetic you are after.

Yes, the lights are meandering on purpose -we can move them around in the bays depending on the lighting conditions we need. Eagle-eye Mike – indeed, good catch.

(2) # 15’s on the material palette, should the left one be the cork(16)? also, the juno lights are meandering - intentional? nice build-out.
