I redesigned this site. It’s a long story as to why I would take the time to do this. I started out doing one thing and before I knew it I’d triggered the project avalanche, and it could not be stopped.

It turns out there were 3 or 4 different previous versions of the site, depending on which page you looked at, and I’m glad things are now more consistent. That’s what I like. I’m obsessed with consistency.

The site is also a lot simpler. I removed much of the irrelevant computer administrative debris in default templates. I don’t like a lot of useless icons and blogrolls getting in the way, visually. Not that the content of this site is relevant either, but hey—you’ve got to start somewhere.

But don’t mistake simplicity for lack of innovation. There’s a major technological improvement in this site: For the first time in a long time, I’ve provided a way to contact me from my web site (on the about page).

Here’s a look back in time:
