Geist steps out in a new outfit

Geist magazine, which has until now had a fairly simple, comely homespun garment for its website, has invested in a spiffy and sophisticated new look and turbocharged functionality. It has been accomplished without losing the eclectic charm of its contents.

After a year of brainstorming, debating, tweaking and tinkering, the all-new geist.com has leapt into the cyberworld. Hats off to Dave Egan for direction and programming, Bay Dodd for design and redesign, and to Sarah Maitland, C. E. Coughlan, Patty Osborne, Carra Simpson and Laura Potter for content-wrangling. The Geist Foundation, noted for putting the North back into North America since 1990, welcomes you to a site where you can always expect a salubrious mix of ideas and culture, 100% made in Canada.
