For some reason -- probably because people come to this site by way of presentations I give -- I decided to make this site neat and clean and therefore more professional looking. Thus the recent Tricorder and this 0403 theme are very white, spare and employ a lot of white space. I was attempting to make myself appear more professional, but, God, isn't it also more boring this way?

As you probably know, I tweak this site constantly and don't care about continuity from one version to the next. I'm just trying to learn new stuff. I also just get sick of looking at the same thing every day. So I redesign every few months. Is there a name for this disease? It's like consumerism. You get tired with what you have and crave after a new thing. In this case it's a new blog skin.

So here's the new skin that may replace what you see now. Kind of reminds me of this earlier version around 2001. Boxy and brown. That version actually won a netdiver award for some reason. Anyway, the earth tones suit me.

And now I can leave my lingering siteredesignitis for now to get back to regular work.
