Newness
Okay, here we go.
I’ve actually been working on this new design for months. MONTHS. Because not only did I want a new design (the easy part) I wanted to stop using Movable Type and roll my own blog with Django. And even though Django is super-powerful and easy, I kept getting distracted by work, life, and sometimes sleeping.
There’s a few things I really like about my new site. First, I ditched all archives pre-2004. That old stuff makes me cringe, and it was time to drop it and forget all of those college years ever happened. Next, I wanted to bring back my links page but in a much, much cooler way, so what happens now is every thirty minutes or so I grab all of your feeds and update my data. That way, links are ordered by whomever has updated most recently, and I link off to whatever your most recent post is as well (with an excerpt). Finally, I have a little reviews section, which is where I’m going to put brief thoughts on movies and music and possibly books if I ever read any of those.
Enjoy! I’ll be ironing out some wrinkles in the next few days, so email me if you come across anything weird.
