More of substance to follow shortly, but I thought I’d note the new look. Although the old page setup took a bit longer to load than I would have liked, I didn’t have any intention of making changes… until an upgrade of the blog software (WordPress 2.8) killed it. So for now, I give you “elegant grunge.” It may not look right, but it feels right.
