Not your father's website, not anymore

In the spirit of kicking this site off right (sans smashing the side with a giant champagne bottle) I thought I would take this time to get nerdly.

I know that many people are going to give me a hard time for the new site and the color scheme. So what. It was time for something fresh and clean that fits our lives where we are now. Consider the website a Croncast mood ring.

I have a tendency to just want to try stuff out and see if it will work or how it will look. The web is so full of drab color palettes and the standard Web 2.0 green and grey (which I am guilty of also).

I took this new design as a challenge to create something visually stimulating around even more meaningful data, if that makes sense. If not it goes something like this; the site is really insignificant when you match website hits against rss hits by unique ip and useragnet. Huh? More unique people throughout a given day hit the rss feed than hit the website nearly during an entire week.

So with this in mind I had a bit a new found optimism this week and wanted to arrange the site like a wrapper for the content (the stuff that ends up in on the site or feed) that is stored in one database. It simply comes down to the mechanism for distribution not solely the mechanism of display. How it gets displayed is really out of my hands in the larger scheme of things.
