Caucus this Jan 9, 2008
I know nothing about politics and couldn't give an airborne rodent's posterior about current events.  But I think it's funny that the powers that be gave two important political thingies, the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primary, to the two biggest loser states in the country.  Seriously, name one thing Iowa is known for besides the fact that it has a college football team.  It's even worse than Idaho, whose only claim to fame is a stupid tuber.  And New Hampshire?  Who even goes there?  Everybody knows about Vermont.  It's for lovers.  People have heard of Maine because it's the farthest state from anything.  But New Hampshire?  Phththbthbbb.

And yes, the word "caucus" sounds like there should be an ointment associated with it. #politics
New site design #3 (2) Jan 9, 2008
It's been almost two years since I last redesigned my website, and I've been thinking about changing things around for the past several months.  Every now and then I'd get an idea and start writing HTML for a few days, but it kept trickling off for one of several reasons: 
  1. It looked too much like the old design.
  2. I couldn't decide on colors.
  3. I couldn't figure out positioning with css and divs.
I got an idea sometime late last week and went with it.  That idea is what you're currently looking at.  I wanted something simple and clean, and most of all, I wanted something new (I was sick of the old design).  Instead of wasting more time designing and testing things, I decided to just upload the new design and figure it out from there.  So there might be a few problems here and there which I'll fix as they occur.  For the technically minded, here's what's new: 
  1. A fixed-width layout.  No more percentages and scaling.
  2. Less PHP-processed linkage in and around the site.
  3. (Possibly) standards-compliant.
  4. No more fieldsets!
  5. Tables, not divs.  I hate divs.
If I get sick of this design in a day or two, I might go back to the drawing board.  I just needed something new. #technology
