Yeah, my initial impression was that it's fairly heavyweight and a lot
of information. Admittedly, this could be something improved with some
professional design skill.

Yes, this was my impression: a bit like a combined uber-/news/ and

current style of those two things. But the information hierarchy
seemed very "bitty".
