I am Matt Thomas.

An enigma, wrapped in a paradox, inside a jelly donut.

So…what’s new?

July 2, 2005

Not a redesign, just a new coat of paint. Small IE-related bugs still to be squashed. Go figure. Otherwise, consider this a big middle finger to the color-sighted out there.

    I liked the Metro station ceiling.

    Another site pretty in pink. But I can’t resist the urge to say that the header seems familiar—I think some obscure site had a bright color (was it red?) and a tagline switcher (unlike yours).

    Anyways, I think the headings (“So… what’s new?”, “Comments”, “Live Preview”, etc.) should be pink.

    Snay: You can always visit the Metro station ceiling for old time’s sake.

    Hans: I have no doubt somebody’s done the thick-horizontal-band-of-bold-color thing before. This wasn’t so much about trying to do something totally new as it was getting my site to a point that I didn’t loathe it anymore until work dies down and I’ve got a chance to really do something new with it. So, enjoy the pink while it lasts. :)

    Wow, just stumbled accross this site and have to say I love the simplicity. This is definitely a successful redesign and to be honest I don’t care if someon’s done something similar ‘cos I like it. Good work.

    Mmm… very clean. Although, I’m noticing a bit of “fuzz” on the arrows for the navigation up on top.

    Super clean. I’m loving the new look.

    Sui generis. Pinker’n Teri Gross after a day at the beach. ;)

    Too simplistic. It simply makes me want to die.

    I hate it, I leave for a few months and this is what I come back to find??? I want to barf and then eat my barf and barf it up again and then go get a slurpee from 7-11

Have your say

Don’t be a jerk.
