So I mentioned in my last post that it's finally starting to feel a little like spring here in the Valley. Meaning that it's generally sunny and above zero, but my standards have changed drastically over the winter. With the arrival of what I consider spring-ish temperatures and weather, I've done a little bit of cleaning on the interweb. Yup, I've been busy.The most dramatic change is probably to this blog. I know I just redid it over the summer before leaving to Singapore, but the plain black and gray was starting to feel drab. That, and I broke the layout and formatting while "previewing" new Dynamic Blogger templates. Yah, I may or may not have hit the "apply to blog" button by accident. Oops.
Really, only the background and some of the colours have changed. I switched to the Picturesque template and added a photo of mine from Cambodia as the background, and I also cleaned out most of the sidebar junk that was still on the old yellow colour scheme. Cleaned out as in deleted. So if you want to stalk my Last.fm, Flickr, or Hype Machine you'll have to make one extra click to the About Me page. Oh, the humanity, woe is you.
I also changed my Tumblr microblog. It once claimed to be "the microblog companion to my main blog," but it was starting to feel redundant. So I've remotivated that space to be a showcase of one of my interests, urban and architectural photography. Just call it me gathering inspiration for my career one day.
Oh, one last thing: I'd love some feedback on this blog layout. So, how's it look?

I like it. The balck with white text was never my favorite, But i"ve gotten used to it over here. :}
You know i"ve never explored the rest of what you have to offer up top there... Perhaps I ought to, when I'm not at work he he.
I love arctecture too! Never went into it though... went the science rout and kept designing houses as a hobby.

honestly, i prefer dark backgrounds. white pages are just too bright, especially on the new computer screens. the dark ones are much easier to look at, i find.
Deleteand those top nav-bar things are... i dunno. the first two are just typical "About Me" pages, and the next two just compile all the posts with the named label. only the Tumblr link goes anywhere else, hah.
