Cipater, named after a song by alleged “band” Autechre, is a weblog run by a group of people with aliases more likely to be inspired by Aphex Twin.
The naming conventions are symptomatic of the tone of the whole site. As you would expect, the font is small and cannot be resized. The design aesthetic is good, but honestly lacks a clarity of purpose. The blogs are often self-referential and full of pseudo-attitude, the perennial replacements for real content. Lower case rules; manga inspired artistry abounds.
The irony is that the writers felt they had enough content to contribute to further weblogs held over at livejournal.com.
Thankfully though, this site appears self-sufficient. There doesn’t seem to be a counter, but there are a healthy number of comments after each post to indicate that this is one site receiving just enough traffic. Looking for something really new? Try elsewhere.cipater.net
