Theme development

This site's http://www.tamariskrtw.com/ homepage is displaying nodes chronologically using images from the latest posts. The mouseover displays summary text. Clean and dramatic design for a image-intensive blog site. But also appears to be a sluggish.

Already checked. Not a drupal site.

Is there a drupal module that can approximate this? This would be godsend for photographers and/or travelers posting constantly.

Target in hand for the mobile initiative:

Complete a survey of 3rd party resources to aid with component naming conventions.

The different steps are:

Do a survey of various style guides to see what others have named these components and build a list of possible components in a Google drive spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvR7gnIrX0ckdDgzNDI0blZVSnF...
List of style guides/resources that should be used for each component:

ARCHITECT OUR CSS

Further to Dries blog on Reducing risk in the Drupal 8 release schedule at http://buytaert.net/reducing-risk-in-the-drupal-8-release-schedule there is a need to consolidate and make sure that the CSS architecture fixes do not become a blocker.

Just reviewed a lot of code here
http://drupal.org/node/1995514

Look at video presentation. Impressive work.
Yet one review or possibly just sandbox->project conversion will be apreciated.
The code looks good, all standards and no nitpicks after a few styling commits in sandbox from author.

Thanks for help.

To cheer the contributors of the Drupal 8 Mobile Initiative, I am starting this initial list.

Did you work on the mobile issue queues? Did you add a patch? Did you review patches? Did you do manual testing? Did you work on the mobile handbook pages? Please edit and add a link to your user account, your twitter handle, indicate if your company sponsored some or all of your work. Provide a brief description summarizing your contributions.

In Drupal 7, not only do you have region.tpl.php in which there's ample opportunity to customize wrapper markup around blocks, you are also able to override block markup on a per-region basis via a block--REGION_NAME.tpl.php file, as well as alter any block variable based on $region within your THEME_NAME_preprocess_block() function.
