You may have noticed that things look a little different around here. This is because I’m doing some major work behind-the-scenes to switch this site from Movable Type, a very nice (but expensive) weblog program, to WordPress, an equally nice (but free and open-source) weblog program. It will probably take me a few days to fully restore this site to the way it looked before, so please bear with me.
My simian compatriots never make things easy for me.
Hi, I'm Scott Vandehey

This adorable French girl spins an incredibly long and detailed story that starts with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and some baby monkeys, and ends with Hippos and Mammoths and ghosts and witches. - Trek On

Okay, like any good Trekkie, I've got some concerns about how the new film slots into continuity, but after this trailer, I'm ready to let all that slide. The opening scene alone is worth the price of admission. - Trailer: Watchmen
Lots of controversy over Snyder supposedly changing the ending, but he earned a LOT of credit with me for the way he adapted 300, so I'm inclined to cut him some slack. Oh, and the trailer is amazing. - Trailer: Transporter 3
It's cheesy, I know, but I absolutely loved the first two, and I'm super excited about this one, too. - Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

This guy is awesome. He's so serious, and you can tell he thinks he's a complete badass - but the whole thing just flops and feels like an awful joke. "Yeah, c'mon."
Granted it’s just a default, but I don’t think the blue looks bad at all.

In fact, I kinda like it. Clean. Simple. Attractive. Easy to read.

As well,I am enjoying its clean and simple lines. Almost makes me want to fix the rough edges on my site’s design. Almost. I need a new style for spring anyway, so those edges can stay rough.
I would change the “Just another Wordpress Blog” bit, though. :-P

Yeah, I actually don’t mind the default WordPress design at all, but as a web designer, I can’t accept the defaults on anything, and there are a lot of behind-the-scenes code changes that I want to make.
Still, this design is very readable, and I like a lot of it, so I’ll probably retain many of the best features into future designs.
