The transition is complete! Gridley finally came back online this morning, and after a few hours of finangling with SQL, you’d hardly know the difference. This site is as good as old.

That, however, may be a problem.

My hip urban existence is growing a little concerned here. I need something a little more edgy. This layout I put together last year is, well, so last year.

I have to admit, I like the brightness of this color scheme much more than my first color scheme. I’m not about to go black background on y’all.

It’s time to change primary colors here. Those greens and yellows may really speak to motorcycling around India, but they don’t speak much to the colors I see on my morning commute. The greenest thing about my workday is the color cast of the omnipresent flourescent lighting.

But I aspire to conjure up more than the nine-to-six-on-a-good-day. My color scheme can’t merely talk the talk. I need a color scream that shouts, “walking down the sidewalk weighted down with groceries and avoiding the drunks.” I need a color scheme that screams, “I just overpaid for this martini, and it’s still happy hour.” I need a color scheme that pokes sternly and retorts, “you live in an English bunker because you were too cheap to pay for an above-ground apartment with real windows.”

So yeah, it’s time for a new color scheme. Green and yellow just won’t cut it anymore.
