Site Update

Welcome to the New Look™ of this place.

If you don’t like it: I don’t care. (You aren’t the first.)

If you think the fonts are weird looking: I don’t care. (It’s the web, kids, not like I have a whole RANGE of type styles to choose from.)

If you wish I hadn’t changed anything: I don’t care. (I hated the old look, OK? It was essentially a standard template. It was icky.)

If you wish that your favorite TV show hadn’t been cancelled: I don’t care. (And I was sad as well when they cancelled Melrose Place.)

If you think it’s too minimalistic: I don’t care. (It loads fast, is light weight, mostly standards compliant and uses white space fairly effectively.)

If you think the new logo is facile and boring and stupid: I don’t care. (And since when did my Mom start using the word “facile?")

If you want me to go away and never waste any more electrons on this site: Caring? Not so much. (But you’d think my own family would be more supportive.)

(OK, none of that is true! Please let me know what you think!)

(And please love me!)

(I care! I really do!)

(Have a nice day.)

(and please come back soon!)

(I love you, too!)

(I know I don’t say it enough, but you know that I care deeply about you, right? *You* are my favorite reader! All the others meant *nothing* to me! I swear!)

That’s it… I’m changing it back. Or hiring someone.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
