Site Design Edits
As you may have noticed I've switched up the site design a bit. Just had too much stuff in the sidebar to leave it as two columns. Not 100% satisfied with the 3 column layout yet, but its coming along. Probably will have to redo the logo to make it meld with the 3 column better. Major design history props to anyone who can tell me where I borrowed the logo motif from, the name is a hint...
One minor hack to report if you really are interested. I had avoided a left hand column on the site because I browse a lot on my Treo, which renders all sites as one big column. Site's with big long left hand columns like Joi Ito's are extremely annoying to read on the Treo as it takes forever to render out all those sidebar links, so the real content takes forever to load. Pretty minor issue since Palm viewers make up only a minuscule portion of the people online, but I happen to be one of them... Anyway the hack. Discovered if I placed the main content before the left sidebar in the html, but used css to position the sidebar to the left of the main content, the main content would show up first when browsing on the Treo. Good for me, and hopefully totally unnoticeable to anyone else.
