Metaphysics of Design · 7 February 2008
Raise your hand if you find this:
Off-putting
Scary
Maddening
Cruel and Unusual
Existentially all too in touch with the groundlessness of being...
or
Subversive
Light
Unencumbered
Open and Inviting
Homey
Me… I thought I could rock the Arial - Microsoft Blue - hidden gridlines. But I’m not sure I have the backbone for living in the void to quite this degree. I might be losing my nerve. Shit.

And this makes you want to come visit this place?
You jest…?

I like it. I like clean design. The only thing that bothers me is how there is no space between the comment boxes and the sidebar. Other than that, it’s definitely a place to visit regularly! Tell your bro nice job!

Cool, CP; thanks!
And yes, I had never viewed this blog in the the OTHER browser before. It looks quite bad there, now that I look.
This is sort of a plus. :)

…Because you believe you’re losing your nerve
But could you ever do better than that?
Because all you ever wanted were a place to call your home
To shelter you when you are there and to miss you when you’re gone
All you ever wanted were a place to call your own
Where stars will dance and sun still shines and the storms feel free to roam
I listen you for a while
But I can’t decide if you’re aware that I’m on trial (?)

This is pretty frickin’ spartan in IE, yes. But if you can dig it, I can dig it.

Well… I have decided to warm it up a little bit. Not much, but at least so as it doesn’t unsettle me (or, I hope, you). I am not so spartan anymore.
I wonder if this means I passed the trial, or if I failed. Oh well.
Meantime, everyone, use Mozilla Firefox to greatly improve your experience of the internet. Do it today. It is clean.

I like it.

Ok. Alex warmed it up. I really like it. I will do Arial and all is coming.
He was going to tweak it so it looks right in the other browser, but I think it’s too funny to fix. So we’re leaving it. Thanks for the feedback…

No unsettlement here. Do I ascertain correctly that you don’t care for this business of tweaks and bodges of the template? I think your first group of adjectives might properly precede ‘Owl.’ The second group of adjectives is for the loyal readers.
